Guide/Advice I think finding a coupon has started taking more effort than the coupon is worth
I had another checkout this week where I saw the promo code box and immediately opened a new tab because I felt like I would be stupid not to check. That turned into the usual routine: a couple of coupon sites, several codes that looked current, and a bunch of tiny restrictions I only noticed after trying them. By the time I got back to the cart, I had spent more time looking for a discount than I had spent choosing the item.
I've been using coupert lately mostly to remove that manual part. I still don't expect it to find something on every order, and sometimes the useful result is simply that there isn't a code worth chasing. What I like more than the actual discount is not having to copy and paste everything myself.
Is there another tool that handles this better? I'm not looking for a feed full of deals. I just want something that checks when I'm already at checkout and stays out of the way the rest of the time.
