Online Coupons

I know, I know -- "coupons?!!" The image that comes to mind is the frumpy woman at the grocery check out with a change purse counting pennies while simultaneously digging through her large coupon bill fold. Very annoying, especially when you're trying to dash out of the store with the evening's dinner.

No worries -- the coupons I write about today are in the e-form, so you won't be "that guy" (or LMF4HMW reader as it were). So many of us are into online shopping -- it's easy, there's no parking, no wondering around, no lines, and it can be done in the comfort of your own home (or office - ha!).

Shopping online with coupons is super simple. Let's say you're looking for a birthday or baby shower gift. STEP 1: Go to one of the popular e-coupon sites like DealCatcher or CoolSavings to see if there are any deals at the moment that fit your needs. (A simple Google search will provide you with numerous coupon sites.) STEP 2: either decide to shop at e-tailers based on available deals or at least know that you've tried to save on your purchase.

Either way, you're a savvier shopper and you might save precious money which may be invested for your future!

WINE PAIRING: How about a nice fun variety like Semillon, which has lemon and fig flavors with a hint of acidity -- perfect for online shopping after brunch. The grape is best known in France and Australia. In the former, it's typically blended with Sauvignon Blanc for a very special treat.
