Print at Home Coupon Sites

Everyone's favorite question to me: where do you get all your coupons?!

A previous blog post of mine mentioned all the places you can find coupons, including on product tear-offs, newspaper inserts, from the vendor, on free samples etc. All of these methods are just watching the shelves and papers and come hit-or-miss. 

Print at home coupons are usually updated weekly/monthly on these sites, so they are a little more predictable. You at least know there will be coupons to print when you look there, right?

I've said it before too, make sure to join a good Facebook/email site that will notify you of great offers that appear. Usually these are BOGO and completely free product coupons. The best ones go extremely quickly and having a service that does the monitoring and watching for you will make sure you get a piece of the action. I have two email subscriptions and a couple Facebook groups I'm part of if you wanted a starting point: 

Something to note for most of these sites is that you need a special printing add-on. Basically a driver that automatically pops up when you click print and it wants you to install the special print software. You will need to say yes to this, otherwise the coupons won't print. Only a few sites need this driver, but just a heads up. Also to note, almost all of these sites will only let you print the coupons once (pushing the print button once), though there are a couple that will let you reprint once.

SmartSource - usually impressed with this site. Lots of offers, lots of different products. This is another one of the companies that send out newspaper mailers. This is also the site usually that I've seen rebate offers posted to, that let you print the rebate request page to make a product completely free. If you want somewhere to start, try here. 

P&G Everyday - usually has a lot of coupons and wide variety. Products from this company for example include Crest, Tampax, Swiffer, Pantene, Bounty, Tide, Old Spice, Mr Clean, Pampers, Dawn and lots more. This company also puts out newspaper mailers, so you can sometimes double up on the offers if you also print the coupon at home. 

Websaver - usually higher value coupons, but hit and miss on what they offer. They are great if you like to try new products. They also offer a Mailed Coupon Envelope, which comes with popular and new coupons - sometimes for things like vegetables. You have to sign up for the service and then be one of the first to click on the "I want my envelope" button basically. 

Walmart.ca/coupons. - usually high value, and with a lot of grocery brand coupons for stuff you may actually buy. Their coupons usually can be used anywhere. So far the best BOGO or completely free coupons I've seen have come from this portal, but this is where the group notification service on Facebook is good as when the coupons have been claimed, they disappear from the site. 

Save.ca - similar offerings as Walmart, which might allow you to double up your deals if you print both. 

Kraft - hit and miss on whether they are offering your favorite popular Kraft products that month, or not as popular themed coupons (like right now it is almost all coffee offers). Interesting to note that not all Kraft product coupons will be here, as they will also have offers on the other websites mentioned here (usually for more generic stuff like $1.00 off any Kraft product). 

GoCoupons - usually high value, but small offering. One of the few that will still send out paper coupons, depending on the offer. 

Right at Home - from SC Johnson company. This includes brands like Pledge, OFF, Glade and Ziploc. Small assortment but I've been happy with the high value offers that show up here. 

HealthyEssentials- from the Johnson and Johnson company. Usually high value, and decent offering. Brands in this company include Aveeno, Band-Aid, Listerine, Tylenol, and baby products. This site also gives you points for printing coupons and interacting with the site, which you can redeem for either free product coupons or gift cards.  

Hidden Portals:

Websaver,  Save.ca and P&G Brandsaver all have hidden portals for various companies. This list is huge, and awesome. Check out extremecouponingmom.ca/hidden-coupon-portals/ for an extensive list (kudos to her for this research!). 

Where to find coupons?

Okay, so this post will be edited a million times as I go along, remembering where I gather all my savings from.

On product - these are usually cereal boxes, cases of pop, cleaning supplies, and starter kits. I always check the packaging in store before I buy, seeing if there are any different boxes that might have a contest or coupon inside the box, or a swing tag or stuck on coupon on the outside. Always worth a look. 

Bottom of receipts - I've noticed this happening more and more. Sub shops and Petsmart have been best examples of this I've seen, usually offering a deal if you come back in a certain time period. Also, check the back/bottom of your receipts for the "fill out our survey and get.." offers for freebies (like Subway gives a free cookie for doing theirs). 

Free sample requests and emailing - so this'll be a separate blog post but request any free samples you can, which usually come with coupons attached, and also join samplesource for quarterly sample boxes in a couple clicks. Even just writing to a company telling them you like their product and do they have any samples/coupons they can send, usually they will (like Chapmans ice cream will send a free product coupon once a year if you ask).

Store tear pads - many grocery stores have tear pads in the aisles for new products and such. My favourite store for tear pads is Zehrs, as they have two big coupon boards when you first walk in, which saves all the wandering aisles. Mind you, I don't really shop at Zehrs as they won't price match, but they'll be my first stop to grab a bunch of coupons before I head off to a different store. 

Coupon websites - another blog post to come for this, but for example websaver and save.ca have coupons and there a so so many brand websites that host "secret coupons" through them. Make an account, click on the coupons you want, then press print. 

"Brand" websites - again, there's a list of these but I use P&G Everyday and Walmart online who host coupons to print. 

Mail to home sites - these are becoming a little more scarce, but there is a few sites that will still mail you physical coupons if you request. Websaver has just switched their mail to home program, which I'll review when I get my first bundle from them. 

Home mailers - these come in your newspapers and are popular for their free product mail-in rebates, buy one get one deals and fast food booklets of coupons. These are great to gather from friends and family who don't coupon, and can help start your mini-stockpile. 

Email subscriptions - everybody and their mother offer email subscriptions, so it's knowing which ones to join. I've joined a tonne under my non-primary email to see who sends coupons, and I'll try to do a post to update who I've found and liked. I also suggest you sign up for freebie notification subscriptions, like freebiefrenzy, which helps easily keep you on top of free samples and offers. 

Free magazines - Walmart one is the first one I can think of, but there are free recipe books, calendars for food and etc that you can pick up in stores for free. Usually, vendors have a bunch of coupons inside.
