Coupon Myth: Programs You Download to Print Coupons Contain Spyware

The coupon printing program used by most major sites, including Coupons.com, SmartSource.com and RedPlum.com, doesn't contain spyware, which can capture your keystrokes to find out your passwords. But the program does limit how many coupons you can print (it's usually two) to avoid fraud.

A Little Coupon Humor...

Money Saving Idea - Food

Soup is one of the most budget friendly meals there is. Save leftover vegetables and meat bits in the freezer in "zipper" freezer bags until you are ready to make a pot of homemade soup. Just add rice or noodles and beef or chicken stock, cook until the rice or pasta is done. Serve with biscuits or warm bread for a hearty meal.

Money Saving Idea - Health

Buy online, safely. Often you can reduce costs by ordering prescription online to be mailed to you. Your health insurance company might have a preferred mail-order pharmacy; call the number on your card to find out. Or go to vipps.info for a list of 17 pharmacies that have been approved for safety and privacy by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. Mail-order pharmacies should be used only for medications you take regularly, not for drugs you need to treat a sudden illnes.

Safety Tip: If you buy from a web site, make sure it displays the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites seal. Unverified sites might sell you counterfeit drugs that could endanger your health.

Coupon Myth: If I Join a Company's Email List, I'll be Deluged With Span

Not always. Read the privacy policy when you sign up. Be wary of sites that say they'll share your data with "affiliates" or "partners." Most sites allow you to opt out - uncheck the box at sign-up. If you can't, you may receive e-mail from unfamiliar companies.

Coupon Myth: Dinky 25¢ and 50¢ Coupons Aren't Worth the Effort

Maybe not on their own, but if you buy the item on sale from a store that doubles coupons, you could turn a 25-cent coupon into a dollar or more of savings. Add a store coupon to that, and your savings could easily result in free food or cleaner products. And there are fewer wimpy coupons than you might think: The average coupon value for the first six months of this year was $1.37.

Money Saving Idea - Health

Get financial assistance. Many states, nonprofit groups and pharmaceutical companies can help you pay for your medications, even if you already have health insurance. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance acts as a clearinghouse for such programs. Visit pparx.org or call 888-477-2669 to determine your eligibility.

Money Saving Idea - Health

Look for coupons. Check optimizerx.com, a site on which drug post links to coupons and free offers. Also check the website of the company that makes your medication (to find the manufacturer, look on your prescription label next to the drug name and the dosage.) If you're willing to switch pharmacies, some stores offer cash rewards or gift cards to new customers.

Safety Tip: If you do change pharmacies, be sure to give the new pharmacist a complete list of all the prescription medications, vitamins and over-the-counter drugs you're taking, so he or she can check for interactions and other potential problems.

Money Saving Idea - Household

Shop for phone, electric, and cable service at whitefence.com. It's like travelocity for utilites. Enter your zip code and address to see all the providers in your area, as well as what they charge.

Cost: A few minutes online.

Savings: Up to $150 per year off utility bills.

Bonus: You usually can make the switch to a new carrier without an in-home service call or fee, and you can keep your phone number.
