Printable Coupons-How To & Where

                                                *Example of printable coupon*


Ok now that you've got your organization method possibly figured out and you're on your way to gathering those Sunday coupons where else can you get coupons?  Here lies the joy that is Printable Coupons.  Printable coupons are coupons that manufacturers offer online via a mass coupon website or their own company website for printing at home.

****Rules for printable coupons**
-NEVER photocopy or copy a coupon this is fraud!
-Make sure the remit address(the one that the store you're shopping at has to send to to get their money) is legible and all there
-Whole barcode must be intact

Where can you get printable coupons?
-Coupons.com you can type your zip code in the upper right corner to get regional coupons for yourself or enter random real ones for a different variety and sometimes price value coupons.  **Check this often there are random awesome coupons on here**
-Redplum.com is another website you can print coupons off.  These aren't awesome awesome coupons but sometimes it may surprise ya
-Smartsource.com decent coupons where worth checking everyday to see if something new has come up.

Now if you have specific brands you use go to their website and search around to see if they have a promotions tab or link. They sometimes offer games or just plain out give ya a coupon for nothing, which is AWESOME!

Facebook has also become a haven for companies giving coupons out. Sometimes there are only a certain amount and then they are out so if you see a **HURRY** on a post from me over at Deal Searching Mama that means get your fanny to printing!

How can I save on ink?
Normally when printing a coupon you can print up to 3 per sheet of paper from websites like the smartsource.com and the others I used above.  Now when printing single coupons from websites I have found if it just prints one coupon then you can turn it around upside down to print another coupon on the other end so then as not to waste  3/4 of a sheet of paper.  I usually save the scraps that is like 1/4 of paper for my daughter to color on.

Another point is sometimes when printing you get an ad underneath or above the coupon, well above I'm not sure how to solve the problem BUT below once you see the coupon print in full hit cancel on your printer (the physical button cancel on your computer) this will stop the print and save ink.

Printing in Black only

Find your printer que.  Go to the Printer Tab, a drop down menu will come down and you click on Properties.

This screen will pop up and you should see a Preferences button you can click on.

 From this screen you then click on Advanced

Here you will click on Print in Grayscale and a drop down menu will appear and you can click on Black Ink Only, therefore you will only print in black ink which is a lot cheaper to replace than color ink.
