Below, you’ll find more detailed information on Coupons.com including how to find coupons and online deals.
1. What Is Coupons.com?
Coupons.com is a website that lets you browse printable coupons, promo codes and limited-time deals on groceries and other purchases. It’s free to use, and the process isn’t much different from clipping traditional coupons.
The company was founded in 1998 and has since become one of the most popular websites for printable coupons. While Coupons.com is typically associated with paper coupons, you can also find promo codes and other online discounts. In the past, Coupons.com also had an app that included cash-back offers. Despite positive reviews, the app is no longer available, and cash-back offers have also been eliminated.
When I checked out the website myself, I found savings on a wide range of products in categories including food, personal care, household, baby and toddler, beverage, health care and pet care. You can also browse by store.
Most of the paper coupons on Coupons.com are product-specific and will work at multiple retailers. Alternatively, online promo codes and deals are typically only available at the associated retailer/website.
If you’re looking for ways to save money on groceries and other essentials, coupons and promo codes at Coupons.com are great places to start.
2. How Does Coupons.com Work?
Here, you’ll find more detailed information on how to find and use printable coupons and promo codes from Coupons.com.
Printable Coupons
Finding and using printable coupons from Coupons.com is a really easy process. You just visit the website online, browse the coupon gallery, click on a coupon to “clip” it and then print it out so you can take it with you to the store.
You can browse featured coupons on the front page of the website or scroll over “Printable Coupons” at the top to see popular categories and brands. When I checked out Coupons.com, there were 52 printable coupons available. Once you find a coupon you’d like to print, click the “+” symbol to clip it. Once you’ve clipped all the coupons you want, click the “Print” button in the top-right corner.
While you don’t have to have an account on Coupons.com to print traditional coupons, you may have to verify the device you’re printing from. Print verification requires you to enter your cell phone number. Then you’ll get a six-digit code via text message. Once you’ve entered the code on your device, you’ll be able to print the coupon. You should just have to do this the first time you use a new device.
According to the website, Coupons.com does not send any printable coupons by email or U.S. mail, so you will need access to a printer to use printable coupons.

Coupon Codes & Deals
If you click on the “Top Coupons” tab at the top of the Coupons.com website, you’ll be able to browse popular coupon codes available for specific stores, brands and products. You can sort the offers by online coupons, deals, exclusives, free shipping and more.
You can also click on the “Popular Stores” tab at the top of the website to browse coupon codes by store. Once you find a coupon code or deal that you’d like to redeem, click “Get Reward” or “See Coupon.” The website where the discount is available will automatically open in your browser in a new tab. You’ll also see a pop-up notification with the promo code needed or the instructions to get the deal or discount. Sometimes, the message will say that no code is necessary. These are sales and promotions that anyone can redeem by meeting the retailer’s requirements.
While printable coupons are more focused on groceries and household essentials that you’d buy in-store, coupon codes cover everything from Amazon to DoorDash to Walgreens Photo to SHEIN. You’ll find discounts for food, clothes, glasses, services, pet care, events and more.

3. How To Get the Most Out of Coupons.com
Like clipping traditional coupons or using another promo code website, it’s important to check out the available offers before you actually go to the store or place your order. For this reason, the best way to maximize the money you save with Coupons.com is by planning ahead. Be sure to check the website before you go shopping and put those items at the top of your grocery list.
In addition to planning ahead, it’s important to comparison shop to save the most cash overall. If you’re shopping for groceries with printable coupons, look at the post-coupon price of the eligible brand and compare it with store brands. Even after factoring in the savings from Coupons.com, another brand of the same item may still be cheaper.
If you take the time to plan ahead and comparison shop, you’ll be on track to maximize the money you save and the cash back you’ll earn with Coupons.com.
While you’re shopping online for products and services other than groceries, I’d recommend checking Coupons.com for any eligible promo codes or discounts available at online stores or for any specific products/services before placing your order.
While there are a limited number of printable coupons on Coupons.com, there are hundreds of promo codes and deals featured on the website. Instead of browsing through online deals until you see something you want to purchase, wait until you know what you need and then check to see if you can get a deal on it with a promo code from Coupons.com.
4. Pros and Cons
Since I’ve checked out Coupons.com myself, here are the biggest pros and cons that I’ve found.
