One Important Tricks to Maximize Your Savings With Coupon Codes
Ads:You’re ready to check out and use that great coupon code you found for $10 off when you spend $20, but your items total $19.86. Sure, you could add another item that costs a dollar, but why spend more than you have to?
There is a very handy little tool on www.pricetaker.com that helps you find what online shoppers commonly call “filler items”.
• Filler items are things that cost very little, and hence are used to make up those last few cents needed to bring your order total up to a certain amount. It would take you a mighty long time to go through a huge web site like Amazon.com looking for items that cost 10 cents (yes, such items do exist) so Pricetaker’s tool is innovative and quite a timesaver, too.
• To use this tool, choose your store from the drop down box, then enter the price range you want to see items from. Try .01 to .05 for starters – you will be surprised how many items come up! Now you can pick out one or more things to bring your order total to the amount needed!
Have fun savings with your coupon codes!

The problem with online coupons is that it lasts for a short amount of time. I had all these online coupons yet I couldn’t use them because these coupons expire in less than a day.
Here is a trick I use to get around the frustration of having to sort through so many sites and coupons for what I need.
Before I buy anything, I just enter the store/item into a search engine with the words ‘coupon code or promo code’ after it. From there, I will see a bunch of sites that offer coup. codes for that product or store. So, if I were buying from Staples, for example, I would just put in “Staples Coupon codes” (sans quotes). Yes, some will be expired, but usually you can find some that work after a couple tries.
