Check the packaging of your favorite foods. Some manufacturers include coupons inside or on their packages. Make sure you don't throw away the packaging without looking for a coupon first. Sometimes they are inside a box, on a removable label, inside a can or inside the bottle top. Dog foods often have small coupons folded up inside the food.

Research the manufacturer websites of your favorite groceries. Some manufacturers have a place on their websites where you can enter a printed code found on the packaging of your favorite products. This lets you print out a coupon.
Sometimes manufacturers give you a chance to fill out a simple questionnaire in exchange for a free product or coupon. Sometimes you can also just input your email address and receive their newsletter with coupons.

Tips & Warnings
