Who doesn’t want to save a few bucks? Ever consider couponing?

Luckily, the days of clipping and sorting through coupons is over. Nowadays, you can simply search online for insane coupon deals. Plus, coupon sites are easy to use and allow you to keep more of your hard-earned cash so you can meet your savings goals.

Ready to give it a try? To get started, here are 5 of the best coupon sites to help you save money.

1. Ibotta

What is it?

Ibotta is both an app and a website. While it doesn’t provide traditional coupons, it does give you cash back on groceries and other goods.

Ibotta works closely with retail chains to offer cash back on everyday items, like milk, produce, meat, frozen foods and more. Most regional supermarkets accept Ibotta offers, as do many big box-stores, like Best Buy, Target and Walmart.

Here’s how it works: Once you login, you will see a variety of digital coupons and offers. You then click the offers you want. After you go shopping, you simply scan your receipt with your phone so that Ibotta can verify that you bought the products eligible for cash back. Once verified, you will see the cash back hit your account. Once you have earned $20 in cash back, you can then deposit this cash into your bank account.

What kind of online coupons does it have?

When Ibotta first came out, it primarily offered cash back on grocery items and some other goods. Nowadays, Ibotta has expanded to offer cashback on Amazon purchases, electronics, pharmacy items, restaurants, and even travel.

Here’s how it works: While you do have to login to the Ebates website at least once, you can install a simple toolbar app that will automatically find cash back offers whenever you visit a participating retail site. If you make a purchase, you will then receive cash back through Ebates. Depending on the purchase, you will receive between one and 40% cash back (based on your total purchase price). Ebates is free to use.
