We all know coupons are one of the best ways to save money on groceries and health and beauty products- but did you know that you can also use coupons to save yourself money when getting a rental car? That’s right- you can use coupons when you are traveling and save money on your rental car charges!
Rental car coupons can be found in lots of places- some you may have never even though of! Your local phone directory often has rental car coupons in the front of the book, you can also search online discount sites such as http://www.dailynewdeals.com/ to find the most recent rental car coupon codes! Most membership companies- including the AARP and AAA clubs offer rental car discount codes. In addition, most major warehouse clubs such as Cosco, Sams’ Club and BJ’s warehouse club offer special discounts for their members!
Often times you may receive rental car coupons in membership mailings as well! Another great place to find them is in local coupon mailers!
Different types of car rental coupons include:
Money off coupons- car rental coupons can range from $5 to $50 off your total rental price. (Money always comes off at the end of the rental after the taxes and fees are calculated) The amount of money off usually depends on the number of rental days and sometimes the size of the vehicle you are renting.
Free day coupons- You usually find free day coupons for compact up to full size cars, for weekly or weekend rentals. To calculate the value of the free day you would take your base rate (before taxes) and divide it by the number of rental days. This gives you an average daily rate. This amount would be taken off at the end of the rental (taxes and fees are calculated first!).
When booking online, the value of money off or free day coupon may not be calculated into your total price. When you generate your price total, the website should tell you whether or not the value of the free day has been credited. If it is not calculated in your rate, the coupon value will be subtracted at the end of the rental when you pay for it, assuming you met the terms and conditions that were listed; these terms and conditions are usually on the back of the coupon.
Upgrade coupons- these are common as a single upgrade or double upgrade. For example if a rental company classifies it’s sizes from compact – mid – standard – full – premium and you wanted a full size; you would book the mid-size and may receive a single upgrade to a standard size car or a double upgrade to a full size car.

Coupons for groceries and amazon.com!
Posted by greg on October 31, 2008
Coupons can be helpful for saving money. You can get coupons for everything from groceries and health and beauty items, to prescription medicine- even electronics at retailers such as amazon.com! When using coupons, especially for groceries, make sure to compare prices of the name brand item with the coupon to the price of the same item in an off-brand without a coupon.
The name-brand item plus a coupon may still cost more than the off-brand item at regular price. A good sale matched with a coupon can be a good deal. And it could be even a greater deal if a store offers double coupons and has a sale at the same time. But, beware of this trap.
Most stores offering double or triple coupons have higher prices on most of their groceries. You will most likely get the best deal by buying an item that is on sale and combining it with a coupon which will double or triple. Your savings are increased more if you have a manufacturer coupon and a store coupon to use that the same time on the same product! Rebates can also be good, especially if matched with a sale and coupons. You have heard stories of how someone only spent $20 for $120 worth of groceries by combining coupons, sales and rebates. It can be done, but this usually is a rare event. I have done it myself, and its not easy, and it really doesn’t happen often! Places to find “good” coupons are the Sunday newspapers, local coupon clubs. You can also join what are called coupon ‘trains’, which involves mailing coupons to other people.
One person makes an envelope with coupons, sends it to the next, who takes out what they want and replaces the number of coupons they took with new coupons. Another good way to get coupons of high value is to write the manufacturer of a product you use. They usually send several valuable coupons for your trouble. Groceries are not the only thing you can save on. You can also save at retailers such as amazon.com.
The best way to get the best deal is to shop these retailers online though www.dailynewdeals.com. When you shop online with amazon.com, you can use coupon codes, which are an electronic coupon. Since amazon does not often issue paper coupons for use in their store, purchasing online is usually the best way to get the best deal. IF best buy has something you want or need, see if its on sale on their website. Then, go an internet search for ‘amazon.com coupon code’. You can often find free shipping, percentages off, and other great deals that you can combine with the same price!

Searching for coupon codes online before making your purchase is what will save you a ton of money! Coupon codes – or promo codes – allow the buyer to get the best deal on the item they are looking to purchase.
The advantages of using coupons include: -Getting a percentage off the purchase price -getting a certain dollar amount off for spending a certain amount of money – free shipping -free items with purchase -other bonuses When you purchase an item, many websites will give you a coupon code for your NEXT purchase as well.

Spending five or ten minutes looking for discount codes can save you a lot of money! One of the biggest online retailers is Amazon.com, a fortune 500 company based in Seattle.

Coupon codes to Save your money!
Posted by greg on July 22, 2008
There are people in the world who do not mind paying full price for something- or anything for that matter. However, I am not one of them. And seeing as you are reading this, odds are, you are not, either! Whether you are tightening your budget due to job loss or bills, or just trying to be a little more frugal to save for your golden years- the end result is the same. We want to spend less, and get more! Within the past few years, online shopping has become a phenomenon. It’s so ingratiated itself into our culture, that shopping online is almost more common than going to your local mall! With that kind of growth, its no wonder that online coupon codes and promo codes are so common. But the fact of the matter is that few shoppers truly utilize these savings.
Go to a site such as Amazon.com, BestBuy.com or Tigerdirect.com, and you can find good deals. Better than your local store even. But that good deal on a new printer can turn into an awesome deal by doing just a little bit of research. Sites such as www.dailynewdeals.com offer a compilation of online retailer sales and discounts. Whether its free shipping, or a dollar off amount, you save money! This is especially useful when you find an item on sale, or on clearance special! Lets say a Lexmark Printer is on sale for $99, regular price $129. Even with fifteen dollar shipping, for a total of $114 its an ok deal- still $15 off normal price. But let’s make it a better deal, shall we?
First lets search on www.dailynewdeals.com and see what deals are there. First we find a coupon code for free shipping if your order total is more than fifty dollars. That’s a good one, so we write that discount code down. So now our $99 printer, is actually $99. That’s a good first step. Looking some more, we see a promo code for 25% off your order total. And just like that, our $99 printer is now $76! But wait! Here’s another discount code for 10% off if you use your Visa card. I can do that! So our grand total is $66! Yes, you can use these coupon codes at the same time!
Congratulations my friend, you have now purchased a brand new printer that originally cost $129 for $66. That is a savings of $63, or over fifty percent!
See how much you can get for your dollar with five minutes of research?

The Best Kept Secret of Amazon.com
Posted by greg on July 22, 2008
We all hear stories of how someone saved 50 percent- or more on purchasing things from amazon.com, bestbuy.com or even circuitcity.com. How is it you always seem to miss the best deals? If you find yourself wondering, how you can find these deals? How can you get the latest gadgets and not pay full price?
I am going to let you in on my secret. I have not paid full price on ANYTHING- from electronics to furniture or even groceries in years. And its not because I don’t shop- quite the contrary- I love shopping, and spend a great deal of time indulging myself! But I hate spending money. The compromise? Coupon codes, promo codes, discounts and coupons!
Online coupons can come in the form of Promotional codes, coupon codes, or online discounts. These discounts entitle you for special offers and sales. The codes can be all numbers, all letters, or a combination of the two. These are promotional codes online stores- such as Amazon, circuit city and Best Buy use to get you to buy their merchandise.
You save money while shopping online by using these promo codes offered by online merchants to improve repeat business and obtain new customers. Benefits can include free shipping, gifts, discounts, or a percentage off your purchase price.
By making use of coupon codes, shoppers save on a range of products and services from electronics, clothing, toys, and kitchen appliances…almost anything you buy online has a coupon code you can use with it! The best part of these offers is that often you can use more than one on a purchase- that makes your discount even bigger!
Let’s take Amazon.com for example. One of their best-kept secrets (straight from their website!) is that if a price for an already-released item decreases within 30 days after we (Amazon.com) ship the item to you, we’ll (they’ll) be glad to refund the difference in price if you contact us (them). That’s all. All you have to do is let them know, and they will refund you the difference!
There are restrictions to this- it applies only to products that have already been released (meaning no pre-sale items), it only applies to items sold by Amazon.com, and not to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our (amazon.com) site, Promotions such as buy one, get one free are not eligible, and if the item you purchased had a rebate with it, the price of the item after the rebate is not considered to be the Amazon.com price.
If you use a coupon code when you check out and later find they have lowered the price- you will still receive a refund based on the item price BEFORE the coupon code was applied! In addition, utilizing amazon.com’s supersaver shipping, which is free shipping when your order totals $25 or more (on select items) you further increase your savings!
Before making a purchase make sure you look online at sites such as the www.dailynewdeals.com to find the best coupon codes and discounts!
