Types of Grocery Coupons

Different Types of Grocery Coupons
There are primarily three different types of coupons that can be used at the grocery store. 

Manufacturer Coupons
These can be found in national coupon inserts in newspapers, direct-mailers, magazines, package inserts, online, through surveys, mail-in forms, and often accompany samples that you receive in the mail. Usually the manufacturer will pay the face value of the coupon directly to the store. 

Retailer Coupons
These are coupons that retailers will post in their store newspaper ads, through direct mail, or in local newsletters (subdivision or area newsletters). Usually the manufacturer offers an advertising allowance to the store to cover the expense of the advertisement and mailing fee. 

Online Printable Coupons
Often manufacturers and grocery stores will have coupons listed on their Web sites which can be printed and used in stores.

Coupon Codes
A top secret code? No, not really. Coupon codes are simply a reference code such as "4FF678" or "VALDAY08" that you enter on a merchant’s website to receive a special offer, discount, free shipping or other consideration. A web merchant will usually have a place for you to enter the coupon code when you add an item to your online shopping basket or proceed to the checkout portion of the site. Always be sure to enter the coupon code exactly as you see it in the offer. Otherwise the website may not honor the special. Think of it like a secret password to savings.

Promotional Codes
Promotional codes, promotion codes, and promo codes. Say that three times really fast. The only real difference between promo codes and coupon codes is the wording. Some websites will call them one, another site will call them something else. But don’t be fooled! They are all great ways to save. It’s as simple as that. Promotion codes operate in the same way a coupon code does – enter the code at checkout and you will receive the discount or special offer. Like coupon codes, be sure to enter the promo code exactly as you see it.
