With everything in life, there is a time and value trade off. For me, that is why paper coupons didn’t really work. Email coupons on the other hand, now that is a deal!
Most retailers can now scan these coupons directly from your phone. That means all you have to do is run a quick search through your inbox with the store name and see what comes up.
Another great way to get online discounts is taking advantage of free trials / discounts. Check the bottom of your receipts too. Often times stores will offer a discount in exchange for your feedback.
If you are worried about advertising spam flooding your inbox, consider creating a second email just for these types of signups. Most email clients these days make it easy to switch between accounts.
