I know one person who never buys anything without checking  \t\t\t\tfor coupons first. Unlike the coupons our parents used to snip  \t\t\t\tout of the Sunday paper, then throw in an envelope or box, and  \t\t\t\tforget about until the coupons expired, the coupons that EB uses  \t\t\t\tdon&#8217;t need to be snipped, thrown in an envelope or box, but they  \t\t\t\tdo expire. She just copies and pastes her way to saving money.  \t\t\t\tEB waits until she needs to buy something from Penny&#8217;s or  \t\t\t\tTarget, or one of the many other online stores she shops, then  \t\t\t\tgoes on a coupon hunt &#8212; and statistics prove that over 90% of  \t\t\t\tthe time she saves 10% to 20% or more. Or she will at least get  \t\t\t\ta coupon for free shipping.<\/p>\n<p>Our site pick today offers up coupons for over 90,000 stores &#8211;  \t\t\t\teven EB hasn&#8217;t been to all of them! She&#8217;s out there shopping  \t\t\t\tonline right now &#8211; while I&#8217;m sitting here writing this  \t\t\t\tnewsletter and making you all guffaw and chortle with my  \t\t\t\tabsurdities and bad grammar. All those worries about grammar  \t\t\t\tstifle my creative flow! EB is supposed to edit this stuff but,  \t\t\t\tas I said, there are over 90,000 online shops and she&#8217;s not  \t\t\t\tgoing to edit anything until she&#8217;s seen them all. So woe is you,  \t\t\t\tdear reader. My advice to you is: mind-edit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s enough. You want the darn site pick so you can be like EB  \t\t\t\tand save 10%, 20% or more &#8211; or at least get a coupon for free  \t\t\t\tshipping. Think about this. What if you wanted to buy an  \t\t\t\telephant for the backyard zoo you&#8217;re building for your children  \t\t\t\tor grandchildren? Do you have any idea how much FedEx would  \t\t\t\tcharge you for shipping one of those beasts to say, Montague,  \t\t\t\tIowa? I looked it up: for a standard, gray, unwashed elephant,  \t\t\t\twith food and water for the trip, it would cost you around  \t\t\t\t$7,821.12 (not including taxes and insurance &#8211; and you have to  \t\t\t\tinsure elephants; it&#8217;s the law!) Well now &#8211; what if you found a  \t\t\t\tcoupon for Jungle Jerry&#8217;s Wild Creature Emporium that gave you  \t\t\t\tfree shipping? It would be worth something to you, right?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know much about algebra or elephants, but I do know that  \t\t\t\tcoupons can save you money. <strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.retailmenot.com\/\">And visiting our site pick  \t\t\t\ttoday, RetailMeNot, and searching for coupons good at the stores  \t\t\t\tyou like to shop could save you money<\/a><\/strong>. Be sure you look  \t\t\t\tfor coupons before you make a purchase though -doing it after is  \t\t\t\tnot good. Using online coupons for online shopping could save  \t\t\t\tyou a lot of dough &#8211; which you could then turn around and use at  \t\t\t\tour <a href=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/sale\/2011\/donation\/\"> Donation Station<\/a>. See how one hand washes the other?<\/p>\n<p>Warning: It&#8217;s always good to get coupons before you buy  \t\t\t\tsomething. It&#8217;s always bad to find a coupon after you&#8217;ve bought  \t\t\t\tsomething. Finding out, after the fact, that you could have  \t\t\t\tsaved 25% off that new $300 Sponge Bob blouse you&#8217;ve been  \t\t\t\tdrooling over for the past two months, is really bad for your  \t\t\t\tblood pressure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all like to save money, but many of us are not very good at it.
