Search for coupons known as "blinkies" while shopping. These typically are found in grocery or pharmacy aisles next to the corresponding product. The coupon dispenser normally is red with a small, blinking light to attract your attention. Blinkies can be used during your present visit to the store or saved for later.

Tips & Warnings
Print out the coupon policies of chain stores from their Web sites to refer to when you have a question while shopping.
It is tempting to print every coupon and to buy a product because you have a coupon for it. Resist this urge. Only buy items you need or will use. Monitor prices and only buy an item when it is at its lowest price.
