I have been using coupons for over 15 years and saving has always been my passion. My Dad used to always say, “Every penny saved is a penny earned!” He has taught me to save money since I was 9 years old. I remembered my very first day at a garage sale in 1996, where I bought the “Aladdin” Super Nintendo game for $5.00, and a new copy used to sell for $49.97 at the local Walmart. From that day on, saving money became my passion. I’d clip coupons for my parents whenever I had the time.

To this day, I’m still exploiting coupons every chance I get. The only difference now is the process of finding them has been expedited by advanced technology and the internet. Instead of clipping coupons and storing them in boxes, I could now easily bookmark all my favorite coupon websites on my internet browser and access them whenever I’m ready to buy things. Not only do I have less paper clutter around the house, it is also much easier to find a certain coupon instead of going through entire stacks of paper coupons.

The world we live in can be very demanding, especially when a lot of us are not making as much money as before (economic recession, anyone?). We should try to save as much as possible. I like to share with you what I believe are the 10 best coupon websites. These are websites that I would recommend to anyone who are looking to save some extra cash.
