You can find discounts at local restaurants, auto shops, health centres, retail stores, and businesses like hotels, doctors, and lawyers.
Also, pay attention to the commercials you see on TV. When a new product comes out, companies often put ads on TV and list a website where you can print a coupon to save money. In a recent ad for Febreze, their website address was shown. There's a form you can fill out to get $20 in coupons for many of Frebreze's products, including their latest electronic air freshener, NOTICEables.
