Most people would agree that it is their heat and hydro and then maybe food, vehicles and loan debt. The one thing that is over looked is just how much we spend on our entertainment or home services such as tv, internet and home phone plans. I know my bill is a dandy each month when I add them all up. If you want to save some money then this is one area that you can definitely go out and do something about it.

Chances are right now you aren’t getting any kind of deal from your current provider. This is especially if you have been with them for any length of time. The fact is there are many top of line service providers that are offering all sorts of discounts and incentives just to get your business. You just have to know where to find these coupons and discounts.

I recently found www.couponcactus.com and what drew my interest is the selection of coupons being offered for companies such as AT&T. I was looking at the coupons they offer for AT&T Uverse. This is a service where your television, internet and phone are all connected through the internet.

They are giving away cash back incentives for joining their various plans. Depending what you are paying for your services now this really could end up to great saving for you every month. Wouldn’t it be great to wrap up all of your services under one plan and save money each month?

It doesn’t stop there because the coupon website also offers a cash back incentive just for using their website. You just have to join up to their website for free. It’s worth checking out if you want to have a look at your current plan and see if you can reduce your monthly charges.

Every retailer has a coupon offer or a deal. So why not take them up on their offers and use them? Why pay full price when nobody else is? Save your money and get in the habit of using coupons. Just the other day I came across a website that is a giant list of update coupons for all sorts of stores and shops online.  The first one I came across was for victoria’s secret coupons. What I like about this coupon page is that you can click on the actual code itself and paste it on the checkout page after you shop. It makes saving easy. If you have a store in mind that you plan on buying something from your first start should be seeing if there is a coupon online waiting you to save.

Nobody should be that is for sure. It’s because we live in a time of such fierce competition for our spending dollars that everybody and their brother that owns a business is fighting for you to become a loyal and return shopper.

How does that translate to you or me the consumer? Coupons. It is as simple as that. Every single company that has a website presence offers shopping coupons for their online stores or their physical walk up stores. For example, before I buy anything online I search Google for coupons or codes that are going to save me money. You can also find websites like Savings.com coupons where you can search for companies and see if they have any current coupons or discount codes. Remember in the old day and age when you had to flip through the paper looking for coupons. Not anymore. You can find them in about two seconds online and start saving right away. As I said, there is no way you should be paying full price for anything that you buy from any retailer.

We just went through two big shopping days and that leaves a huge gap between now and Christmas. Over three weeks to be exact. That means that retailers are going to be going out of their way to offer Christmas savings. Happy searching.

They offer a number of savings through online coupons just for shopping at their website and using their service. You basically shop through their website, use their new process called eBillMe and you could qualify for big savings. Using this service you can choose to get emailed a bill and then pay through your online bank or at the walk in store that you shopped at (if it exists). Not only do you get savings but you also get the piece of mind of shopping in a more safer environment.

It's not our normal course but one that opens early every year and they have indoor golf on all winter that we take in a few times. They kind of know who we are in the proshop. We struck up a conversation with one of the guys working in the proshop and he gave us a bunch of gift card type coupons for our next round of golf there. We will use it in the fall because they stay open later than everyone too and we will save some money on our greens fees.

He gave us the cards because he wants us to frequent his place more often. This got me to thinking. If you go to a similiar type of place like an indoor golf range, mini putt or golf course why not ask if find yourself in a converstaion with an employee. Tell them you would like to bring some friends out and wondered if they have any coupons or cards. You be suprised how many places have them.

They are no brainers. Retailers are desperate to get you to buy their products and will do anything to get your spending dollar. People I know still don't seem to get that coupons are free money. Let's say you are shopping for something like groceries, medications like Lipovox or electronics and I told you that you could save $10. You would do it right? Then start clipping coupons.

You have to search for coupons in the right places. Your daily paid and free newspapers will load one or two editions a week with ads. Start to leaf through them, clip the coupons that interest you and do some comparitive shopping to make sure you are getting the best deals. The free papers as well will always have lots of ads on their pages for local retailers. Watch for door crashers or special sales events for even more savings.

Search online for coupons that either you can use online or print off and take to the store with you. This works best for big chain stores like Best Buy or Future Shop. Searching online is always good too because sometimes they will have "Web Only" coupons combined with free shipping. These make it cheaper than driving to the store to get it.

They are a no brainer and practically every website offers them every month. You can save good money on items if you are shopping online. There are many kinds of coupons that you will find. Some offer a percentage off while others offer a straight dollar amount off if you spend so much. Either way it’s a nice way to save money.

I like to find sites where you can find a Coupon code daily update. And what that means is that they check all of the major websites and update their coupons codes everyday so that you have the newest and latest codes to use. There is nothing worse than going to a site, getting a coupon code and then finding out it doesn’t work.  This site also keeps their codes fresh and updated so you will have no problem with expired codes.

They also have everything categorized so you can easily find what you are looking for. I personally hate having to sort through hundreds of codes just to find what I am looking for.  If I want something for my computer I want to look at computer codes only. They do that and it’s great.

Coupon codes are a nice way to save online. If you do any online shopping at all do your bank account a favor and look for coupon codes.

It's a site where they offer random points for using their search engine and you can redeem the points for prizes or draw tickets for prizes. Just install their toolbar in your IE of FireFox, user their search engine for your surfing needs and  you can gain dollars. The search results are returned by Google and Ask. I just joined today and I already have enough for a $5 Amazon gift card.

So nobody gives anything away for free. I believe that for sure. So what's the catch? There is no catch. They are using a couple of pay per search engines where they are being paid for you searching terms and in turn they are paying it back by giving you random points for goods. If you are going to use a search engine you are probably going to use one of them anyways so why not give it a shot.

Let me know how it is working out. They also post bonus codes that you can redeem for points but I haven't caught on yet. Please let me know if you come across any.

Join up for SwagBucks and start earning points.

If you come across any please let me know.

Free Coupon for a 20 Ounce Bottle or a Free 2 Litre Bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper 
Pretty easy to enjoy a nice free bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper. I have had it before and it doesn't taste too bad at all.

Free Quaker True Delights Bar 
I saw this one in People magazine last month or this month. A good way to sample some free bars. We go through lots of them in our house.

Free sample of Benefiber Powder from Walmart
Grab some free powder fiber powder from Walmart. That is if you can stand being in a store jam packed with hundreds of  bargain hunting shoppers that are more heartless then the starting line up of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers.

Remember freebie hunters, if you are asked to enter an email address use a free one like gmail as I imagine you are going to get plenty of ads and offers sent your way. I alway have things sent to work so I don't have to use my real address.
