Anyone know any good coupon sites? Ones that won't spam you and have lots of easy to find manufacturer's coupons?
Or is it better to just go to the manufacturer's sites?
Thanks in advance.

Came over from the google part of the forum, just to respond to you.
The best place to find coupons isn't Google (most of the listings are from those who would profit from getting your details).
It's on Facebook, and in forums.
I particularly recommend the "living below your means" part of the Motley Fool forums (UK and USA, and both free to join). They have very active communities who make it their business to find stuff and share just for the hell of it.

So many searches for 'merchant x coupon' leads to sites with fake coupons, a 'sorry, no coupons for merchant x exist', expired coupons with no exp. date, etc. ad nauseum. All to set a cookie.
Not sure why the SE's love these sites. Except, they have tons of backlinks. Many bought, i suppose...

The best ones are .. click to reveal the discount code - then you get a pop-under dropping the cookie..

Well, I am assuming that there must be some LEGIT sites out there. Otherwise, where in the world are the people on the Extreme Couponing show getting their coupons from?

I think those extreme couponers use mostly newspaper, mailed, magazine, paper coupons etc., although some of those you can print online too.
The online coupon code sites are the ones that get a little more 'creative'.
