Everyone may know this, but I know I sometimes forget so I thought a reminder might be helpful.
When shopping online for anything, anywhere, before placing your order, Google the retailer's name and "coupon" to see what comes up. Very often, you can find a code to get a discount or free shipping or something.
Example: The other day, I was shopping for a necktie we needed for a gift. I found one at, of all places, a medical uniform company. Before I placed the order, I searched for a coupon and found that by signing up for the company's e-mailing list, I could get 10% off my first order. So I signed up and got the discount code. That saved me $3.50 in a matter of seconds.
You can also find coupons for bricks and mortar retailers. Last weekend, we were going to Dick's Sporting Goods to look for something. I searched online and found a $10 or $50 purchase coupon and took that along. We ended up not buying anything, but I was ready if we had.
