The Best & Easiest Ways to Get Online Coupon And Promo Codes

I’ve always had an affinity for the finer things in life, but haven’t always had a budget that matched.

Growing up, my mom was the queen of sales and coupons (in fact, she still is). Whenever there was a sale at Target or Walmart or Macy’s (you get the picture), we were the first ones there.

I remember waking up on the weekends and helping my mom dig through all of the sale fliers to see what stores we should hit up later that day. We’d head out to the department stores and spend hours shopping, never paying full-price for anything. It was like hunting for treasure.

Ten plus years later, and I still rarely ever pay full price…even when I shop online! Although those beloved paper coupons aren’t an option when shopping online, there are plenty of other ways to save money and get those deals.

And I know what you’re thinking…Ain’t nobody got time to search, test and find codes that actually work. Trust me, neither do I! All of the money saving tools I’m sharing today have Google Chrome extensions that do all the work for you!

Keep reading to learn about the best ways to get online coupon codes for all of your favorite stores including Amazon, Anthropologie, eBay, Sephora, Groupon and more.
