The best shopping, savings, coupons and tips!

It's no secret that using coupons can save you a small fortune over time. Many people only use the Sunday paper as a source for coupons. Obviously you are tech savvy enough to know you can get tons of printable coupons and other savings tips online at websites such as CoolSavings.com. But did you know that there are other unique ways to find coupons online? Hopefully the tips below will help you discover a whole new way to save more money on the things you already buy.

The first step in your quest for finding coupons should always be to go straight to the manufacturer. Many manufacturer's websites offer printable coupons, special offers and even a chance to sign up for their newsletter which is often filled with coupons. You can also try asking the manufacturer to send you some coupons by calling their 800 number or sending them an email. You can find their contact information on their website or on the back of their products' packaging. Manufacturers love to hear feedback about their products and will probably be more than happy to send some coupons to a loyal customer.

Another great way to find coupons is eBay. Oftentimes many fellow coupon users will feel bad throwing away extra coupons they have so they will sell them on eBay. It may sound silly to actually pay for coupons, but if someone is selling $20 worth of grocery coupons for $1, you're still saving $19 on groceries! eBay is a great source for finding valuable baby formula and diaper coupons if you are a new parent.

Coupon trading forums are another little known source for coupons. Two of my favorite coupon trading forums are couponforum.com and frugalvillage.com. If you are specifically looking for diaper and formula coupons, you will love the BabyCenter Trading Post. The way these coupon forums work is that you trade the coupons you have and don't want for the ones you do want. Sometimes people will offer to send you the coupons you want for free—even if you don't have anything to trade. Membership to these coupon trading forums is free and is a great way to meet other savings-conscious people.

When in doubt, Google it! Type in the type of coupons you are looking for into a search engine and hopefully you'll get some useful results or at least enough to start you on your money-saving quest. If you know of any other unique ways to find coupons, please share with us!

Use Coolsavings.com as your first stop to find printable grocery coupons, online coupons, free samples and other money saving offers!
