CLEVELAND -- Clipping coupons is a tried and true way of saving money. But as NewsChannel5 Troubleshooter Chris Caswell reported, online coupon clipping is also a great way to find bargains.

Consumer Reports found several Web sites that offer all kinds of savings, often bigger savings that what you find in newspaper coupons.

Some coupon Web sites ask a lot of personal questions, or require you to fill out a survey, resulting in a lot of spam e-mail.

But some sites generate a lot less spam. At Hotcoupons.com, you can find a lengthy list of stores and services, everything from restaurants to your local auto repair.

Two other Web sites -- Coupon Mountain and Coupon Surfer -- offer savings at hundreds of merchants and online retailers, such as Target and Dell.

Mandy Walker, of Consumer Reports, suggests opening a free e-mail account, such as a Yahoo! or Hotmail account, to use for your coupon clipping. This way, any spam that is generated will go there, and not clog up your inbox.

Consumer Reports warns that there have been a number of bogus e-mails offering savings if you forward it to everyone in your address book -- if you get an e-mail like this, Consumer Reports says don't fall for it.
