Are Coupons Dead? Not Quite — They’ve Just Gone Digital
Once a Sunday ritual with scissors and newspaper inserts, coupons have transformed into digital deals and app-based rewards. But far from extinct, they’ve simply adapted to our online shopping habits.
Retailers still offer discounts, but now they expect consumers to do the legwork — clicking links, scanning barcodes, or signing up for apps. The savings are there, but the hunt has evolved.
Paper coupons may be less common, but savvy shoppers are still saving through:
- Rakuten – cash back for everyday purchases
- Upside – rebates on gas and groceries
- RetailMeNot – promo codes for thousands of stores
- Capital One Shopping – automatic coupon scanning at checkout
- Slickdeals – a community-driven hub for verified discounts
- Finditandmore.com – the website you are on right now
But here’s the twist: the digital experience isn’t always seamless. Pop-ups, expired codes, and apps requiring sign-ups have left many wondering — is the effort still worth the savings?
💬 What do you think?
Are digital coupons better than the old clip-and-save model, or just a frustrating upgrade? Let’s argue it out.
Now you have to have patience, the right app, and know how to work it to get the discount.
