If you are like me, you will do most of your shopping online.  One thing to remember is that finding coupons for the major sites is very easy.  So, the next time you are about to purchase something online, and the site has a “coupon” or “promotion code” box, do a quick search for “[storename] coupon”.  You might find a bunch of sites with coupon codes for the merchant.
