Sign up on retail Web sites
It pays to sign up on the Web sites of all your favorite retailers. Many send printable coupons to those on their e-mail lists and alert them to special sales. After signing up at Old Navy's Web site, I recently got an e-mail about a special sale with door prizes. I went by one of their stores during the sale hours and won a $50 shopping spree. I recently signed up at ShopKo, and they e-mailed me a coupon for 20 percent off my total in-store purchase, including clearance and sale items.
