Quintuple Dipping Savings Method
Where to find the best online coupon codes
Welcome to your first dedicated lesson! This category is the first step to quintuple-dipping into savings: loyalty programs, coupon clipping, e-gift-card cashback, cashback programs, and debit/credit-card rewards. I’ve consistently saved 50% or more on purchases with just a couple minutes of extra “work”—and you will too.
Why Coupon Clipping Matters
Instant savings at checkout
Stackable with other rewards (cashback, gift-cards, points)
Near-zero effort once you’ve installed the right tools
Beware of Outdated Codes
What you may not know about coupon clipping is many coupon sites list outdated codes (or don’t provide the fine print that makes them work). In addition, they don’t always have the best deals available.
Frugal Blueprint’s Top 5 Picks are frequently updated with working, exclusive codes—so you get higher savings than on generic coupon sites.

Step-by-Step: Clipping Coupons
1. Install Your Extensions / Apps
Choose your browser (Chrome is most universal).
Visit each platforms store page and click “Add to…” or “Install”.
(For mobile) Download the iOS/Android app from the App Store or Google Play.
Create or log in to each service with your email—this activates code-auto-apply.
Tip for Mobile Users
To make coupon clipping easier on your phone, install browser extensions for all 5 platforms—if your mobile browser supports them (such as Safari or Chrome).
Instead of opening each app and searching for codes manually, you can:
Open your browser.
Tap each extension’s icon one by one.
Use the auto-apply feature.
Each extension will try different codes at checkout, and the best working coupon will be applied automatically—no copying and pasting needed.
This helps you quickly test multiple codes across platforms and get the biggest discount without extra effort.
🔧 Instructions to add extensions can be found directly on each platform’s website or support page.
2. At Checkout: One-Click Savings
Navigate to your cart or checkout page.
Click each extension’s icon—in your browser toolbar or on-page widget.
Watch it auto-test/apply codes and confirm your savings.
Stack: Combine the clipped coupon with cashback (e.g., via Rakuten or Capital One). Learn how to maximize cashback with our Best Cashback Platforms lesson by clicking here
3. Track & Verify Your Savings
Rakuten & Honey: Each records your savings history—review your dashboard or email receipts.
RetailMeNot, Checkmate & Capital One: Display the final discount amount right in your cart.
Pro-Tips for Maximum Clipping
Always refresh your cart after code application—some sites reset prices.
Clear cookies or use an incognito window if a code fails repeatedly.
Combine site-specific coupons with credit-card rewards (e.g., 5% back via a shopping portal).
Watch for exclusions: Some codes don’t stack with clearance.
Set price alerts in RetailMeNot and Capital One for items you plan to buy later.
You’re now equipped to clip coupons like a pro with the most reliable tools. In our next lesson, we’ll dive into discounted e-gift cards—the perfect follow-up to multiply your savings even further!
