Printing Coupons

[JaniceSW]

Hey, Fusion, I'm ready for some other "video" offers where I don't have to waste my ink printing coupons to get a cent or two. I have circulars that come to my house and digital coupons if I want to use them.  The coupon offer that pays 10 cents paid after I printed 3 coupons the first couple times several weeks apart, but the third time there was absolutely no credit even though I wasted my printer ink.  Printer ink is just too expensive than to use it for a few cents!

do you not use coupons when shopping? I only print the coupons I will use

[kjstrukel]

I print the daily coupons to a PDF file and only actually print  on paper what I am going to use.  It works with the Top Coupons (.10), but not the Hopster Coupons, so I usually only go to Hopster about 1x per week.  I was wasting a lot of ink too, but the PDF works great!

I think my computer has a firewall that prevents me accessing the website for Top Coupons.

I get this message:

This site can’t be reached
www.emjcd.com’s server IP address could not be found.

If someone knows how to add or allow websites through the firewall, I would love to learn.

I have not tried to print the coupons in our video list because you have to print so many at once. Our store where we buy groceries restricts the use of digital coupons to one per visit, so it has never seemed worth the effort.  Kjstrukel, I wish I understood how to print to a PDF file.  I am going to have to investigate that.  How about a tutorial!

Yes, I do.  Like I said, I cut out ones from circulars that come to my home and use digital ones, including from an app from a local store I shop most often.

Hey, lady, I never thought of doing that!  I'll have to try it sometime.  Nonetheless, I'm tired of those offers where we get a whole cent or two for printing coupons.  Too expensive wasting my printer ink that way!

I do the same thing and try to select the ones I use much more often first so they are always at the top of the PDF file and you always get credit even when you save as a PDF file.

When you hit "print", you should get a screen that shows the printer you have selected, then there will be a button to change that, one of the choices will be "print to Microsoft PDF" (that is, if you are using Windows, not Apple), just select that and you can print to a PDF and then save it.   I'm not good at computer stuff, so if I could figure it out, it's gotta be pretty easy.  Also not good at giving tutorials, I hope this makes sense!

I just wanted to add on the top coupons (.10 daily) you can only "print" 2 or 3 and it will credit.  I found that out one day when there were only 2 that didn't say limit reached, since I had to click out anyway I figured there was no harm in getting out by hitting print and I was surprised when it credited but it has worked every day since.  It can take 5 or 10 min for the credit to show up on this one.  But it has been reliable.

I only print out what I want just to get cents it offers.

I only print for things that we use; so I go through list and just send them to print so as not to use a lot of ink; if I can't find enough things we use then I generally pass on that activity.

I don't have a printer so always save them to a pdf file then put them on a flash drive to print at the library, etc so I rarely spend much to print them when I need them

It's very rare when I print coupons. It's not cost effective for the amount of ink used.

The coupon printing quit crediting me months ago so I stopped using it.
