Step
1
Visit the official websites of products you use most. For instance, if Folgers is your favorite brand of coffee, find their internet site and see if they have a promotional coupon or free product sample this month. Sign up for their mailing list or email list to get offers in the mail or through your inbox.

Step
2
Surf the "freebie" websites that have consumer forums and become a member. Visit these sites every week to read posts from other penny-pinching consumers. This week you may find an offer for a free t-shirt. Tomorrow you could find a free toothpaste sample offer. Check out the Resources section to get started.

Step
3
Target your internet search for coupon sites. Download a coupon printer and start printing out coupons for discounts, savings, rebates, and freebies.

Step
4
Take the time to navigate through your favorite retailer's (or grocer's) online site. Browse their circular for current specials and take advantage of weekly or monthly sample offers.

Step
5
Search the internet for discount online shopping codes. For example, if you know Old Navy is accepting discount coupon codes, search the internet to find them. You could save 20% or more. Do an internet search for "free gift with any order" to see which companies give bonus gifts with purchase. You could get free make-up bags, gift boxes, shipping, earrings, and more. The best deals are waiting for those who are smart enough to find them.
