I usually don’t try using coupons since many of the codes shown on websites don’t work, but I feel bad for not trying hard or smart enough. I’ve heard good things about Retailmenot, I haven’t tried it yet but I wondering if there are privacy trade-offs.

If I’m buying something off the internet, after I’ve progressed to the point of checking out, I’ll give 10 minutes to trying to find a coupon code for my purchase. Probably 90% of the time, the codes are useless, expired, or just plain fake. I figure, I’m already on the internet, I’m not it that much of a hurry to click ‘purchase’, why not do a cursory search. Might get a couple dollars off for my search time invested.
