Coupon Search Engine/Database Tips

Many of my frugal friends have commented on some of the coupon search engines and using them to locate coupons for products.  Some of you seem to have better luck with certain search engines and prefer those over others.  I wanted to pass along a tip about using any of the search engines to locate coupons.  I have found that the easiest way to find coupons at any of the coupon databases is to use a very vague description rather than the brand name.  For example, if you are searching for a coupon for DiGiorno pizza, instead of typing in DiGiorno, try just typing in "pizza" - it works for me every time.  You may get more coupons that come up that you have to look through, but it seems to be easier to find coupons this way rather than by brand name. 

I don't know why this is.  Maybe the name might be entered into the coupon database just a little differently, maybe with a space, like Di Giorno, or maybe your spelling is different than the actual product spelling (I have done that many times!). 

There are two different coupon search engines/databases listed on the sidebar here under "coupon search".  Either of these are good places to find coupons quickly but if you have a specific one that you use that is not listed here, please send me a note with the link and I would be happy to add it.  I want to have all the tools you need right here in one place so all you have to do is point and click...and why not share what works for you with everyone else?
