Coupon Codes: Not Just A White Trash Event!

Until a few years ago, I thought coupons were reserved only for the white trash folk who would, with a stash of thin paper cut outs, pile into whatever six-wheel contraption could be moved off stumps and head for the nearest All-You-Can-Eat $9.99 buffet!

Then, one day while comparing online prices of jogging strollers and travel cribs,  I stumbled upon a coupon site and realized that most coupon codes were far more valuable than just a free ice-cream with purchase (although who doesn't love ice-cream?).

Somehow, through a little additional 'coupon' research I had managed to save almost $200 off the regular price for both the stroller and travel crib.

From that sweet money saving moment on, the white trash vibe had left the building...forever!

Some three years on, while I'm certainly not one of those coupon queen's who can smell a dollar discount from a mile away, with the incredibly accessible range of compiled coupon sites doing the work for me (and now you), I don't have to be.  And, especially now more than ever, living in the small military community of Rota, Spain, I truly miss the shopping epicenter of the USA - the late-night Target or Macy runs- where everything is right at your fingertips!

But, the true beauty of these one-stop coupon code sites is that, not only do they display online and printable coupon codes from the homegrown to big name retailers and brands, but rather than leave you hanging after a coupon code's expiration, they replace the expired with something greater, almost immediately.  For someone like me who used to leave coupons in the car or dresser for months, only to be met with, 'Shit, it's expired', these sites are invaluable!

It's no secret that consumers stupidly are often forced to pay sometimes 120% more than what the item actually cost to make, so in my mind, there is nothing more satisfying than paying not only less than the retail price of an item, but less than what other online retailers are suggesting that you fork over.   And, perhaps, I'm a snot, but while 5% off a pair of shoes isn't really enough to buzz my lights, 30%-50% off an entire order, now that's a fireworks show right there!

So, after a lengthy three-year coupon code research mission, here are the top compiled coupon sites that consistently get my vote, and save my wallet from near extinction:
