Many families are trying to suck in their belts a wee bit more during the current ecomonic downswing.  One of the methods that families can use to do so is by searching out online coupons for purchases that they know they’ll be making in the future.

I know a number of families both online and in real life who are facing upcoming weddings, or have recently celebrated the marriage of one of their daughters.  Weddings have the potential to be terribly expensive, so loking for techniques to economize and cut back on these costs is always welcome – at least in my books!  Living out in the boonies like we do, it’s often cheaper to purchase online – even with shipping costs – than it is to drive into the city to shop, fuel prices still haven’t gond down THAT much, and diesel is still terribly expensive, $1.15/L last time we bought some.

Enter savings.com, an online site where you can find coupons for a wide variety of online shops and stores. Those planning weddings may be interested in checking out The Knot promotional code’s for discounts on the entire order, as well as coupons specific to disposable cameras, napkins and wedding favours.

My husband and I spent $800 on our wedding and honeymoon -  we’re always keeping our eyes open for money-saving ideas.
