While certain sites you follow might send you coupon codes in their e-mail correspondance... and while you might find codes listed on sites like dealnews.com, retailmenot is all about coupon codes. Just type in the website you're hoping to purchase from in the top right hand corner and the site will pull up every coupon code for that site that they've been able to find, listed by their success rate. I always try any code that looks good... you never know when one might work for your particular transaction! While sometimes all I save is 3-4 bucks, it's 3-4 bucks I can spend elsewhere... and there have been times where this site has saved me MUCH more! Also, don't be afraid to use two or three different codes... you never know when these might stack. For example, if you see a code for 20% off your purchase, and then you see a code for free shipping... try them both... most of the time they will work together and get you a super deal.
The site does not require you to sign up or log in, and won't bother you with pesky e-mails just for using their service.
The most recent transaction I can think of where I used retailmenot.com was our purchase from daveramsey.com. I've been following DR on Facebook, and I got an update saying that his starter system was going on sale for $44. The starter system is basically just a bundle of books, dvds, and personal finance software that runs over $125 seperately, so we were already getting a good deal on something we had wanted to purchase for quite some time. I also checked the resale value of the components on half.com to make sure that we could sell everything for at least what we paid for it, if not more. So once I saw that yes, if we chose to resell, we can get much more than the $44 for the seperate components, we decided to buy. My biggest issue is shipping... I hate paying for shipping... so I went onto retailmenot.com to find a code for free shipping. What I found were two seperate codes for free products with any purchase. One coupon code added a second copy of the personal finance software plus an audiobook for free with a minimum purchase... the second code was for a paperback copy of DR's book More Than Enough. I was able to add both, because the site allowed you to stack coupon codes. The best part, though, was that on the site, any purchase over $50 ships free. Since the total is taken before coupon codes, it counted the free merchandise as part of the total order and my whole order shipped free! We got $183.65 worth of stuff for $44 total.
So yes, I never check out before visiting retailmenot.com... you never know what you're going to find, or how much you could save!
