Chris, this site appears to be limited to New York?

Nevermind... it was non-obvious how to localize the search. :) Click on the map.

Online coupons would catch on if stores would start taking them without hassle. I usually have a 50/50 shot of Kroger, Meijer and Giant Eagle taking them (Meijer typically the best).

Some coupon clippers buy similar thin/glossy paper that regular coupons are printed on, which helps, but the real problem is retailers not trusting them.

Yeah, just what I need. Another way to propagate my personal information to marketing departments.

There just aren't enough ways to get on mailing/calling lists yet I suppose.

I know a guy who works for this company. He gave me his business card half a year ago.

But now its on the Consumerist!? Uh oh. I guess I should have jumped in with him.

@calacak: These don't look like the traditional manufacturer's coupons, but more like local coupons. The store accepting them is the only one involved in the transaction, so you probably won't have the same problems (though I'm sure we will find stores that decline them, too).

Giving my phone number to the "extended warranty" autodialers and the "Fraud Detected" scammers is not worth saving 50 cents on toilet paper for me. Ever since I switched to Verizon family plan with my fiancee, my phone has been blissfully silent of those annoying phone calls and texts at all times of the day and night.

"Online coupons still haven't caught on"

I decided to do 15 minutes of research as to why this might be..If anyone wants to save money just by clicking and printing, its me! Must be simple, right?

I googled and went to a few random coupon sites. One site, 'Wow-Coupons' required me to install a "Coupon Printer.exe" file. Could be malware for all I know, but another site, 'Thegrocerygame' also follows this same method.

Another site, 'thecouponclippers' asked for a "Handling fee" - One good example was a coupon worth 75 cents off costed you a dime, thats gotta be illegal.

'Couponcraze' was just a maze and dizzying to even look at. I gave up just as soon as I got there, I'd rather spend the extra nickel on dental floss then look at that garbage.

'Couponmom' features a picture of a really unattractive older woman and requires registration and the whole site is filled to the brim with ads. To tell you the truth, it looks like a spam site. Hard to believe that a woman as repulsive looking as her could do that all on her own while sitting on a retirement pension.

I clicked on a random link (American Eagle, it was at the top) at 'Ultimatecoupons' and it led me sign up on a company's mailing list..No coupons sent, just a redirect to invite your inbox to receive spam.

And with all these examples, along with the fact that stores don't always accept them, this is why online coupons never gained any popularity :)
