One of the best ways to cut down on your weekly grocery bill is by using printable coupons. With the rise of digital technology, finding and printing free grocery coupons has never been easier. If you're new to couponing, don't worry just check out our beginners guide to couponing.

Printable Coupon Sites

For those looking for printable coupons, here are some top sources that offer a variety of printable coupons. Here are a couple websites that feature printable coupons for major brands covering several categories:


 

Here are several popular parent brands offering printable coupons for their family of products as well:

  • PGGoodEveryday (Tide, Gain, Dawn, Gillette, Swiffer, Secret, Charmin, Bounce, Cascade, Mr. Clean, Downy, Always, P&G Coupons, P&G Deals and more!)
  • TastyRewards (Frito-Lay, Doritos, Stacy's, Quaker, Pure Leaf, Pepsi, Mtn Dew, Bubly, Jack Link's, Pearl Milling, Cap'n Crunch, and more!)
  • Purina.com (Dog Chow, Cat Chow, Beyond, Pro Plan, Fancy Feast, and more!)
  • Kellogg’s (that’s all your favorite cereals, Pop-Tarts, Eggo Waffles, Pringles, Cheez-its, Townhouse, MorningStar, and more!)
  • Unilever (Dove, Nexxus, Suave, Axe, Degree, Vaseline, Shea Moisture, TRESemme, Love Beauty and Planet, and more!)

You'll also want to pay a visit to the websites of your favorite brands. Manufacturers' websites and their email newsletters often provide high-value printable coupons. Scott, U by Kotex, Cottonelle, and Angel Soft are probably all brands you recognize and maybe even use and offer coupons to consumers -- you just need to do a little investigative work with all your favorite products!

Did you know? The first day of each month is the biggest printable coupon release day. It’s out with the old and in with the new.  Most printed coupons have a 30-day expiration from the date you print (though some can be 2 weeks), so you’ll want to leap on those when they first come out. They are limited in availability and can go quickly, but you’ll have the time to find an accompanying deal.

Maximizing Printable Coupons

To get more coupons fairly, print from multiple devices since manufacturers and sites like Coupons.com allow two prints per device. Use different email addresses and phone numbers to receive more coupons. Print coupons that interest you as soon as you find them to avoid missing out. Don't forget to take advantage of free coupon apps and if you're a senior find out all the grocery stores that offer a senior discount.

If you have a coupon buddy, printable coupons are a great way you can help each other out. Printing coupons for each other can help you both maximize your savings all while hedging those limits to your advantage.

Printing Tips: When printing coupons, it's critical to make sure you are set to print these coupons and make sure they do so clearly, but also economically.

  • Set your printer to black and white to save on ink costs, as stores DO accept black-and-white coupons.
  • Check ink levels before printing to ensure barcodes print and therefore will scan correctly.

Pro Tip: Consider the cost of ink versus the price of the printer. If you need a printer, August and September are ideal for finding printer deals as it aligns with Back To School sales. Inkjet printers are affordable and suitable for color text documents, while laser printers are cost-effective for high-volume black-and-white printing. The HP DeskJet 4155e and the Brother HL-L2320D are highly rated and budget-friendly options.


 

Stacking Coupons for More Savings

Combine printable and digital coupons for greater savings. For example, you can use printable manufacturer coupon along with a store digital coupon -- this follows the rule of one manufacturer coupon and one store coupon per product. This strategy can maximize discounts, such as combining coupons on Tide products at Target, Gain at Dollar General, or Colgate at CVS. If you have questions about coupon usage at specific stores, you can look up their coupon policy and that should help you.

Requesting Coupons by Mail: You can sometimes request high-value coupons by contacting companies directly. From our experience reaching out to 50 companies, half of them responded by sending out coupons, some offering significant discounts or even free-value product coupons. Writing to companies can be a worthwhile effort for obtaining valuable coupons.

Even if they decline to mail you coupons, they nearly always point to where you can find coupons for their products.
