:: You will likely be prompted to download a small program from the site you are printing from
- This is true of the “database” type sites (SmartSource, Redplum, Coupons.com)
- The program is not harmful (we’ve never had issues with them) and does not contain viruses or spyware (assuming you are using the sites we discuss here!)
:: There are some browsers that work better to print IP’s than others, generally though any browser is fine
:: You are typically limited to 2 prints of a single coupon at any given time. Companies have different ways of tracking this: most are by IP address (different from ‘IP’ coupons), some by e-mail address.
- A coupon in .pdf format is an exception, these can be printed as many times as you like (we LOVE these types of coupons)
- Another exception to this is a coupon distributed directly in an e-mail (these are often store specific coupons like CVS, Bath and Body Works etc., often you get these as a result of ‘membership’)
- Remember to use your ‘back’ button and ‘refresh’ the page if necessary to print your second copy (this will save time going through a search or signing in again!)
:: Save your scrap/recycle computer paper for IP’s….most coupons only take up 1/3 or half of a sheet of paper!
:: You do NOT EVER need to print the coupons in color!! And most of them state that on the coupon!
Second, where to find printable coupons! (because they won’t find you!)
:: There are several links on our website near the bottom on the right sidebar labeled “Coupon Sites”
:: Our number one resource is Coupons.com (click the link to see a current list of available coupons).
- There are three places on our site where you can print these coupons without ever leaving BeCentsAble! (a.k.a. a “quick print”)
(1) Top of the page just under our search box
(2) on either side of the page about midway down - The offers are updated each week!
You are limited to a certain number of prints (this varies based on the coupon and the mfg specifications).
:: We also have a link to a master list of coupons offered on a variety of manufacturer websites.
- These are called “bricks”.
- Bricks are single coupons available only at a mfg’s website
:: The two most prominent Sunday coupon insert distributors also offer printable coupons on their websites (listed below).
:: ALWAYS, ALWAYS check the manufacturer’s site for coupons and special offers. We try to keep up on all of them but it’s hard!
:: Freebies4Mom does a great printable coupon roundup each Thursday (just after the grocery deals come out!). We recommend you check her site as well!
