It seems we have become a nation of coupon clippers again… at least according to local media sources.
I remember growing up and my mom always had a small pile of coupons she had clipped.
They were religiously taken to the store when she was doing the food shopping to help defray the cost of feeding our family.
The best weekly coupon was a matter of discussion between woman of the era.
Today it is online coupons… Red Flag Deals is a popular coupon site and Living Social and Groupon have become increasingly popular.
With Red Flag Deals you can just print your coupon and go off to the respective retailer.
With LIving Social and Groupon you have to pay for your coupon upfront, however the discounts are mainly worth it as you are always saving at least 50%.
We have tried several of the Living Social and Groupon coupons. It can be hit and miss but for the most part the retailers are very good about the deal they cut and treat you like any other customer. I have had a couple who refuse to honor the deal as printed and claim there is some other unwritten rule.
You can complain to Living Social and also Groupon. They are very good about this and will issue refunds on your coupons.
Red Flag Deals I have had no experience with but here it is very hot.
