Coupons Can Save You Big!
"Supermarket owners know that 98 percent of coupons are thrown away," Peterson said . "Most people can't be bothered going through the papers, looking for the store's sales and clipping coupons. They think it will take too much time and it will be too much trouble. That's why the markets call people like Peterson 'ultimate internet deal finders. Who look over the net and the papers to give tips like this.
Peterson's Coupon Tricks
Instead of clipping and filing coupons immediately, Peterson writes the date on the packet of coupons that come with her internet and Sunday paper and sets them aside.

Should I Craigs List?
I think that the kind of person who is most likely to have success on Craigslist a) owns a pickup truck or other large vehicle (for large purchases) b) is strong and has access to extra help (again, for large purchases) c) lives in a small city, d) has lots of free time to stay on top of ads and pick up merchandise, and e) is not picky.
I've gone to look at a couch I saw on Craigslist before and found it to be a real waste of time. The couch looked much nicer in the photo than it did in real life so I wasted about an hour driving back and forth to go look at it.
You can check swfloridarewards.com for coupons at your favorate restaurants and businesses to find what you are looking for.

Create Your Own Coupon Book!
Here is an 8 step process for creating your own coupon book:
1. Make a list of things you know your friend or relative could use a hand with. Things like "pick up dry cleaning", "walk the dog", "take the kids to soccer practice" etc.
2. Also consider more unusual and fun things in SW Florida like "take you shopping", "take you out to lunch".
3. Type them all into your favorite word processing program, with spacing so that you will have 4 to 6 catigories.
4. Visit cityrewardsnetwork.com or swfloridarewards.comn and select your coupons. Be creative!
5. Type "COUPON BOOK" in bold letters on the cover page.
6. Print out your coupons on fancy paper, and print the cover on heavier paper if you have it. Or
7. Take the pages to a copy shop and have them copied onto bright-colored paper.
8. Staple the coupons into a booklet.
Your friend or relative will remember your thoughtfulness every time they use one of their one of a kind coupons.

Restaurant Coupon Tips
Use 'Buy One Dinner, Get One Free' coupons. See the swfloridarewards.com to find these online. Sometimes the Entertainment coupon book also has lots of these, as well as many other types of discounts:
Don't be afraid to take your leftovers home with you! For many people, dinner portions are more like two meals. Why not eat them both, separately?
Fast food can be a real deal, but don't make it the mainstay of your diet. Your health is your wealth.
Use coupons, but use them wisely. Ask yourself these questions:
* If the product is more expensive than your usual brand, will the coupon still
save you money?
* If you have to buy several of an item to use the coupon, will you be able to use it all before it goes bad?
* Will you have to drive out of your way to take advantage of the offer?
* If so, will you save more than you spend on gas?
* Do any of the supermarkets near you have a day when coupons are worth even more?
Online coupon sites make finding coupons easier. Check swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com often. Some others require registration. Read their privacy policies carefully before entering your personal information:

Coupon Advertising
A close cousin of the coupon is the gift certificate, and you should always have them available for shoppers who are unsure of what to purchase. When customers buy gift certificates rather than products, you're able to keep more inventory in stock during busy periods. Be sure to put an end date on your gift certificates and include disclaimers, such as "This gift certificate cannot be used to pay on account," "...cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer" or "...cannot be redeemed for cash."
Here are a few additional tips when it comes to using coupons to advertise your business:
* Be sure and put an end date (a date when they're no longer valid) on all your coupons. If you don't, you'll have to honor them for as long as you run your business.
* Be careful about your offer. A coupon offering something for free will get the people in, but they may not return. Lots of businesses find that when people come in to redeem a freebie, they don't even focus on what you have to offer and you lose the ability to sell them something else. Better to offer something free with an additional purchase or give a 50 percent discount on the purchase of one item.
* Include your coupons on your website and keep that page up to date.

Local City Coupon Sites
I prefer to type in my city to find a money saving coupon site.
For example, I type in the search Naples Coupons and I ran across a site that I can just print the coupons off, no membership or anything, It's FREE!
I found several restaurants, pizza places and many services that I will use on this site. All I have to do is print the coupon onto a piece of paper and take it in to the establishment. Easy as that!
Ready for the site...It's http://www.cityrewardsnetwork.com - well, that is The USA'S hottest site for me.
I hope you can find your own local top sites for your community as well.

Online Coupons
Over 3,000 manufacturers offer nearly 330 billion coupons every year -- worth about $280 billion. ... and consumers redeem about 8 billion of those coupons -- about $4.7 billion worth.
Want to find valuable, easy-to-use online coupons? Want more value than you can get from the old-fashioned coupon clipping? The goal is to help you find and use good coupons.
* If you DO already use coupons, swfloridarewards.com can help you improve your savings and simplify the process.
* If you DON'T use coupons, you may find that cityrewardsnetwork.com makes it practical enough for you to start.
Use Our Online Coupons to Select Good Coupon Sites
This site sorts out the main types of coupons available on the internet today. It then lists the main type of coupon.
* Understand the types of coupons and coupon sites available
* Compare the top coupon sites at-a-glance
* Select coupons you want to use, and quickly load them.
As you'll see, very few sites are the actual original sources for product coupons, since they usually originate from the store or restaurant. For store coupons, there are many more original sources. That's because each merchant may offer its own coupons, and there are millions of merchants. Merchants may offer them directly to you, and/or they may pass them on to their marketing affiliates, who help bring customers to their stores.
The vast majority of these sites are "referrers". They refer you to either a coupon provider or a merchant. Many of these referrers offer a valuable service: they keep track of current coupons, post them, and organize them for you. Many of these affiliate (referrer) sites have very similar selections, since they're tracking many of the same merchants -- the merchants who offer well-know affiliate programs. So, picking a good site can mean finding one who has the best assortment from the merchants that you like, and who keeps their offers up-to-date.
So keep checking www.Swfloridarewards.com and www.cityrewardsnetwork.com

Coupon Q&A SW Florida
Q:) Have you ever considered creating a category just for coupons or deals?
A:) Our Deals section is where most coupons live on Bestcitydining.com - we've had that area for a long time, almost the entire history of swfloridarewards.com. It goes fairly unnoticed by many newer readers but it's a very high traffic for users seeking restaurant deals.
We're always looking at new ways to direct traffic to the best places...the point at which user interest in coupons gets strong enough to warrant creating a new topic around it, we'd definitely consider that

City Rewards Network
Cityrewardsnetwork.com
This is probably the biggest coupon site, at least in terms of traffic. Since they offer an affiliate program, many smaller sites direct you to swfloridarewards.com for coupons.
Once inside swfloridarewards.com, you'll find a selection of coupons. For example, in May 2007 they provided a total of 48 coupons for our sw Florida, all for "Restaurants".
cityrewardsnetwork is actually more than a printable coupon site. They are a hybrid. There are links to other "savings", though these are nothing special. You can probably can not get these deals yourself.

Coupon Comments!
Years ago, I clipped coupons. I'd gleefully stuff them into my coupon envelope, thinking how much money I'd save next time I went to the store. But what I discovered is that 99.9% of the coupons stayed in that envelope. Why? Because a) the products that were being promoted were not ones I usually buy or even wanted to buy (i.e. they were unhealthy, didn't taste good, etc.); or b) the savings were illusory (i.e. I was getting 20% of a product that had been marked up 20%).
Since then, I've put more effort into just finding stores that carry the lowest prices on things I actually want. Because when you think about it, why would a store or manufacturer keep issuing coupons week in and week out if the practice didn't ultimately INCREASE their profits?
Comment Two
Coupons have the magic power of making me spend more money than I otherwise would. If I receive a coupon that gives me say 20% off all of my purchases at a particular store, then I immediately head over there and buy something(s)More than I expected. My point being that if the coupon had never showed up, I would never have gone into that store and spent money. Instead of saving me 20%, it's costing me the price of the items less 20%.

What you need to coupon
Alway check swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com. You will need a place to store your coupons. Small coupon wallets are often sold in grocery stores, or you can use a shoebox with envelopes (my method). I organize the coupons by aisle (dairy, pet, etc.) placing the ones I plan to use on this visit at the front of each section. The rest are grouped by product within each section.Tip always check the Naples,Fort Myers and Port Charlotte restaurant coupons they are sometimes the best savings.

Use Coupons Florida
A coupon is a certificate with a stated value if it is used when purchasing a specific product or service. The consumer presents the coupon to the restaurant or retailer selling the product at the time of purchase. The restaurant will reduce the cost of the dinner by the specified amount on the coupon.
Coupons are issued by businesses to give consumers immediate discounts on the purchase of the specified items, which may be virtually any product found in retail stores.
Most coupons are distributed to consumers in internet on swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com.
How can I use coupons?
It’s easy to use coupons. Simply print them off of the internet or other source, and present them to the cashier when you purchase the product specified on the coupon.
You will get an immediate savings in the amount of the value printed on the coupon. The restaurant of the dinner absorbs this cost. So go out to eat Naples,Bonita Springs,Estero,Fort Myers,Cape Coral,Port Charlotte,Punta Gorda,Venice.
Persons purchasing coupons have often been associated with organized criminal activities. They often purchase the coupons as one aspect of a scheme to defraud the coupon issuers/manufacturers, usually by seeking to redeem coupons without purchasing any products. Individuals selling coupons to such crime rings have been charged with and convicted of criminal violations.
Can I buy coupons?
No, there are good reasons not to purchase coupons. You can get them for free on line at swfloridarewards.com or cityrewardsnetwork.com. In addition to being in violation of the manufacturers’ policies, it simply does not make sense to pay for something that is given away for free.

On the coupon Hunt SW Florida
Personally I never purchase anything online unless I can find a coupon code or rebate offer for that particular product or service. There are lot's of cities in sw florida you can get coupons for like Naples, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs,Estero, Punta Gorda,Port Charlotte,Venice, Marco Island, North Port, Fort Myers Beach. I have purchased consumer goods, clothing, gifts, musical equipment and even services online and all of them were purchased with a coupon. In fact there are so many coupons and rebate offers available these days that it would be hard to find any product categories that don't have savings available. It's not hard to find your favorite coupon, just try one of the many coupons and discount websites swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com and you should hunt down that discount within a short time.
My friends often call me up or send email to ask where they can find a coupon code for a new TV or toy for their kids. Just tell me the details and requirements and I'm usually too happy to let them know how to save. I think it's a mild addiction for me as I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is have a look to see what the latest coupons are today for my favorite shops on swfloridarewards.com and cityrewardsnetwork.com.
Coupon code and rebates are the best thing of shopping online and it gets more exciting everyday.
