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.

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.
