E-coupons

"they are the fairy dust of the
coupon world,
lightly dusting your grocery
basket as it crosses over the scanner."


They are a hot topic lately, but what IS an E-coupon? Simply put, they are electronic coupons. No paper involved, no clipping required. Just load and go. They can take the form of text messages on your cell phone for many retailers or restaurants...but they can also be loaded on to your club card at your favorite grocery store.

I LOVE this option!! Once a week you can head to a website like shortcuts.com, pgesaver.com or cellfire.com and load up your club card. That's it. Like me you will probably forget what you have loaded on your card and be pleasantly surprised when you find that an extra $1 has been taken off your receipt.

The really cool part is that e-coupons will stack with printed coupon despite the fact that they are both manufacturer coupons. The downfall, you can only use each coupon once. Given that they are free I really have no issue with that.
