Subject: Coupons

Written By: Ripley on 02/12/16 at 11:08 am

With so many things being on our phones now, I see digital coupons all the time. There arent near as many in the newspaper. Though there are those sites where they can be printed its a time consuming process. My local grocery store mails us some, which is nice. How many of you still use physical coupons?

My phone won't support technical things like coupons/bar codes.

I use some coupons issued by the supermarkets I shop at.  Plus the occasional special offer by Subway or Dominoes Pizza.

Coupon booklets by companies like Proctor and Gamble are not available in the UK like they are in the US

The only coupons I see these days are for cheaper meals at McDonald's, but I rarely eat there now.

I still use the paper versions; they're easiest for me.

At my work we have to manually punch in the coupon numbers.

Right; I just take 'em out of my pocket (or wallet, wherever I store 'em) and present them when needed.

I've heard about the digital ones, but I don't bother using those since I'm having issues with my phone at the moment.
We do have a few coupons found in papers or in the stores, but usually they're found online, where they can be printed off or mailed (I actually prefer the latter since it saves me on ink).
I try to shop with coupons around sales, but I haven't had too much luck with that.

The only coupons I ever use are the Best Buy $5.00 off ones I print from their website, or the 2 for 1 Cineplex Movie Theatre passes I get when I order from Pizza Pizza.
