I’m super excited to introduce My Coupon Database to BargainBabe.com. Basically, it’s a place where you can find all your grocery and drugstore coupons! No need to visit Coupons.com, then SmartSource.com, then…My Coupon Database pulls from dozens of coupon sources and is the most complete database of coupons that I know of.
Here’s how to use this FREE coupon database:
1. Scroll your mouse over the Coupons tab above. The first option on the drop down menu is Coupon Database – click on it.
2. That will take you to the page below. Browse the grocery and drugstore coupons.
3. If a coupon is underlined, click on it to print. If not, My Coupon Database will tell you which insert to pull from your stash to find your desired coupon.
Voila! It’s that easy.
Tip: Narrow down your search by typing in the Description box, or by choosing a specific Coupon Source. Insert = coupons that come in the Sunday paper. Cellfire ecoupons = mobile coupons you can print out. Magazine Coupons = various coupons that you can find in mags like Glamour, All You, and many more. You can also narrow down a coupon search by the date the coupon was released, the value of the coupon, or how long ago a coupon expired.
Bonus: The Getting Started, Organization, and Store Coupons buttons take you to posts on BargainBabe.com that explain these topics!
I pay a monthly fee to have My Coupon Database on BargainBabe.com and receive a small fee when you print a coupon. Thank you for helping me make blogging my full time job!
UPDATE: Reader Renee says My Coupon Database has been a huge help. She writes:

I talked to Lisa Reynolds, the “resident mom saver in chief” at RedPlum, which distributes coupons to 40 million people in the Sunday newspaper, about how likely a manufacturer is to send you a coupon upon request, secrets to making the most of RedPlum.com, and how coupons will distributed in the future.
Why aren’t there more grocery coupons online? I think we’re seeing an increase in that. More manufacturers have started placing coupons online. People are going to look for savings wherever they can find them. Coupon distribution for consumer packaged goods is up 11 percent from 2009 to 2008.
Do the coupons at RedPlum.com match the ones in Sunday newspaper? There is not 100 percent overlap, so you want to check both places. The coupons online change more rapidly.
Are they restocked on the first of the month like other sites? Not necessarily. We ask people to sign up for our emails, which tell you when they are restocked.
Why are the coupons limited to a certain number of printings online? It is based on what the manufacturer wants to distribute.
How many printings do you typically see? Tens of thousands for most coupons.
How can people sign up for RedPlum coupons? The best way to figure out where they can receive coupons is to go to RedPlum.com [and click on] where is my coupon book?
What if I’m not eligible to receive them? We suggest people contact the manufacturers directly through [the manufacturer] 800-number. Most manufacturers list it on the back of their products. Thirty percent of the time manufacturers will send you coupons.
How are coupon distributers coping with decreasing newspaper circulation? It is a challenge and one of the things that we are able to offer them is a blended solution. [Through newspapers, direct mail in some markets, and online distribution.]
How will coupons be distributed in the future? We’re continuing to see a lot of experimentation with mobile phones and texting. That will continue to proliferate. The key is to make it easy and convenient.
