Risk Factors
-
One of the major risk factors associated with using free coupons is making certain the coupons are legitimate. In the past, people posted fake coupons online. McDonalds even had to post information in all their restaurants about coupons that people found online but weren't official. In addition, you need to be aware of expiration dates on the coupons. At times the ones you find may have already expired.
Benefits
-
Are you trying to save money toward your next vacation? Maybe you really want to buy a new television set, but you just don't have the money? Maybe the price tag on a new grocery product makes you blanch? You can take the few pennies you save and put them toward your savings or use them to finally try out that new product without paying full retail price.

Function
-
Free coupons can be used at almost any time and anywhere. Just give them to the cashier when you check out at the store. Most stores now take coupons, including dollar stores.
Type
-
There are two major types of free coupons: those available online from websites like Coupon Mom and those that you can find offline. Online websites are a great resource because you can easily print them for when you need them. Offline you can look through the newspaper, the advertisements that come in the mail and pay attention when you go to the store, as many place free coupons on the shelves next to products.
Expert Insight
-
Even if you don't get a Sunday newspaper, you can still use one to your advantage. Far too many people look through their paper and then toss it aside without even paging through the coupon section, leaving behind coupons for things they don't use or need. Calling a friend and asking if you can have his leftover paper can yield valuable information.
