By Domenic Teoli, Thu Dec 8th

I'M sure the majority of us remember our mommies opening upthose catalogs or newspapers on those Sunday mornings , clippingthose like kids opening up Christmas gifts .

For every coupon my mom would clip she would pause and smile ,she would then turn to me and whisper " shop like mommy and saveall the time " (LOL)

Today mind you , its still a great way to save and im sure morethan half of us still clip from catalogs whenever we can.

but with the Internet things are changing , every year more andmore people are shopping online , and as the retailing businessgrows online , prices are dropping dramatically because of thecompetition .

Smart shoppers are noticing that shopping online is not onlyconvenient but can save you lots of money .

So how do smart shoppers shop ?

Most smart shoppers use online called coupon codes ,these are numeric digits that are entered on a merchants site atcheckout to receive a discount .

They also keep a list of their favorite stores and waitpatiently for their promotional offers or blowout sales in orderto save that extra 10 to sometimes 75% off regular prices and inaddition they use coupon codes for extra savings ..

Now the tricky part is finding these coupon codes , many onlinemerchants do not advertise discount coupon codes on their site,I don't think they want all their customers using coupon codesfor discounts .

Here are four ways to find coupon codes .

1) One way to find a stores coupon online is by emailing the themerchant , most of them will take forever to email you back butsome of them will , ( its worth a try )

2) you can find lots of printable and coupon codes byhanging around shopping forums whereas you can trade anddeals .

3) download or order that particular stores catalog online ifthey have , most of them are free and many times you'll findcoupon codes and promotional offers .

4) there are also some sites online that spend their dayslooking for and they post them for free , if you find asite that has free discount " BOOKMARK THEM " and try tofind more sites that provide the same service .

Everytime you shop online always make sure theres no couponcodes lingering online for that particular store you want toshop .

Coupon codes are great savings . Use them whenever and howeveryou can .

You too can shop like mommy and save all the time (lol)
