I know this is probably obvious to anyone reading this site, but I came across this article at WAPT.com about coupons on the back of your receipts. I noticed this trend some time ago, and every now and then there are some decent coupons back there. A lot of stores are printing additional savings discounts on the bottom of the coupon as well now.
With the economic slowdown, people are finally starting to pay more attention to coupons and discounts. You may not always find something useful on your receipt (if you don’t need it, don’t use it!), but it’s always worth a look. I’m a big advocate of saving your receipts so that you can track your spending anyhow, but this gives you yet another reason not to just toss that receipt into the garbage or forget it in the bottom of the bag.
What’s the best gem you’ve found on your receipt?
