Tips & Tricks: How to save without doing the hard work

Coupons are everywhere and people are using them more than ever to save money. According to Reader’s Digest, 96% of millennial shoppers search for coupons and deals while shopping online.¹ That’s no surprise — who doesn’t want to save money? With online browser extensions and email or phone alerts, there’s no better time to find out how to start saving today.

Where to find coupons online that save you money

Whether you’re shopping in a grocery store or on a retailer’s website, here are some tips on how to start couponing.

Join rewards and loyalty programs

One of the easiest ways to get coupons is by enrolling in rewards programs or signing up for the email list of your favorite store. You can receive regular updates on sales, discounts, and exclusive offers. As a member of a rewards program, you’ll have the chance to earn points when making purchases at the specific store and use those rewards for savings in the future. You might even get member-specific savings when shopping.

Find a coupon database or app

There are several coupon databases and apps that you can use to find coupons easily. One example is the PayPal Honey shopping extension — a free browser extension that automatically searches for and applies coupon codes at checkout. Using the shopping extension is straightforward, quick, and easy. Don’t just take our word for it — here’s what Meriden, the shopping extension whiz from our Tips & Tricks video, had to say about using PayPal Honey:

Use social media and follow brand ambassadors

Social media influencers that promote certain products are considered brand ambassadors for the companies they advertise. Typically, when they post about a product or company, they’ll have their own coupon codes that you can use to save money on your purchases.
