Printable Coupons

MoolaSavingMom regularly posts new printable coupons. You can find her post from this morning HERE. Now, usually I print coupons as I need them, but some products I love regularly end up being free if I can time it right, so I'll print them before they disappear.

Hormel Cure 81 boneless ham is one of those products. The $2 coupon doesn't expire until mid-April. If we get a Super Doubles event before then, the ham steaks will be free at Harris Teeter. My husband loves these and we usually dice them up to go in omelets.
To print coupons from various sites, you'll probably need to make sure your JavaScript is up to date, and you may need to install a small program like couponactivator or similar one time in order to begin printing. It's worth it! Remember that some coupon sites are optimized for Internet Explorer and may not keep up with changes in other browsers; if you haven't had a problem printing from Firefox or Chrome, etc., and then suddenly do, it may be due to browser updates and companies haven't had time to respond. (This is the main reason why I haven't deleted IE from my computer!) If you really want particular coupons, you may need to log in on IE for a day or two to access them until companies update their settings for your preferred browser.

In case you missed one of my very early posts on how to get started couponing, you might want to check out AFullCup (registration is free but required to access their database; search for coupons and you can limit results to just printables) and the KrazyCouponLady (wait for the page to load and then you can use <CTRL><F> to search for specific items). 

Don't forget that most coupon sites will allow you to print two like coupons. Please remember that each coupon will have its own serial number, and that copying (xeroxing) any sort of coupon is illegal. Stores with older systems may not recognize fraudulent duplicates at check-out, but they won't get reimbursed for them by the manufacturer, which means they lose money and will become more strict with their coupon policies. Stick to ethical couponing and we'll all be happy!
