AOL Shortcuts: An Easy Way to Get Online Grocery Coupons
Do you like saving money with grocery coupons? As much as you may like the money that you are able to save, you may dislike all the time and energy that goes into finding them. It can be time consuming to find and clip grocery coupons, even online. The good news is that you may have another option. That option is known as Shortcuts, which is an AOL feature service.
When I first heard of Shortcuts on the news, I was drawn in. After all, who wouldn’t wish to save money without having to actually clip coupons? Speaking of which, that is how the program works. You are able to upload your coupons onto your shoppers card. At the checkout, these coupons will automatically be deducted from your total. How neat is that?
The only downside to Shortcuts is that only a select number of grocery stores participate. This is mostly due to the program being so new. I performed a search on the website and this is what I received, as far as participating stores go:
Kroger, Kroger Marketplace, Ralphs, Gerbes, QFC, Hilander, Smiths, Smiths Marketplace, Bakers, King Soopers, City Market, Pay Less, JayC, Dillons, Owens, Frys, Frys Marketplace
* Note: This list is likely to change and it may do so fairly quickly. You may want to visit the AOL Shortcuts website to recheck.
