Since most great online deals start with a coupon code, it is essential that you know exactly how to find the latest and greatest codes. I wish I could say that coupon code hunting were as easy as a quick search on Google, but you will find that, with a little practice, you can be sure to always have the very best bargains at your fingertips.
There are 2 main avenues to follow when searching for codes; coupon code sites and message boards. Let's explore each.
#1 Coupon Code Sites
If you do a quick google search for "coupon code" you are bound to come across page after page of these sites that focus on getting coupon codes to the public. You can even search for "target coupon codes" or "old navy coupon codes" for more specific results. I have a favorite site I like to use for search: RetailMeNot.com
You simply enter the name of your retailer, and like magic, a list of coupon codes is returned with expiration dates and even comments from users on their success using a particular code. I have included a search box at the top of this blog that will search the RetailMeNot.com coupon database. Try it out.
#1 Message Boards and Forums
Doing a coupon database search should be your first stop, but consider that, in most cases, these site are getting these codes directly from the retailer by way of xml feed. While retailers want you to use their promotional codes, there are often additional codes that are more hush hush. These codes are often only found by searching shopping community message boards. Again, I have a favorite. I've been doing this a long time and the site, MyCoupons.com, has one of the most amazing message board communities. MyCoupons isn't the largest community, but since it is targeted toward the same audience as this blog, I think you will find it to be the most helpful. For the largest forum community, check out Fatwallet.com. Again, I have included a way to search MyCoupons.com's message boards directly from this site if you wish.
If you use these two methods to search for coupons, you can rest assured that you are getting the best deal out there at any given moment.
