Get coupons right to your phone

Forget digging through your purse for crumpled wads of paper.

There are no scissors required for these coupons, which are sent to your phone. Redeem them at the register right from your screen.

Around Target, for instance, mobile coupon signs have a keyword. Text the keyword on the sign to receive an instant coupon, such as $5 off the purchase of $15 or more of special products or brands. At the checkout, your phone is scanned for the $5 off.

Other stores, such as Macy’s and Bed Bath &Beyond, also have mobile coupons that are smartphone-friendly. To find even more coupons, go to www.couponsherpa.com, which has online, printable or grocery coupons.
