The more I think about it, the more I’d love to see Shortcuts.com become the future of coupons. I mean, think about it–paperless coupons that are loaded onto your various shopper’s cards. No more coupon organizers, no more clipping. I’d love it.
If you’re new to Shortcuts.com, here’s a primer.
With Shortcuts.com from AOL, you register your store savings card to receive electronic coupons directly transferred to your card.You don’t have to have an AOL account to participate, and like paper coupons, Shortcuts.com coupons double according to your favorite store’s double coupon policies. Participating stores include Kroger, Tom Thumb/Randalls, Safeway, Fry’s food stores and other regional supermarket chains.
Pros: Simply select your coupons online and they’ll be automatically deducted at checkout. In some cases, you can use both a Shortcuts.com coupon and a paper coupon, although store policies may vary.
-
SO MUCH more convenient than printing coupons online, in which you have to download the coupon printer application (and if you’re a frequent FatHeadDog.com reader, you’ll know I hate printing coupons online.)
-
Shortcuts.com now offers mobile access, where you can select coupons from your cell phone and load them onto your shopper’s card on the go.
-
The site offers frequent Huggies diapers coupons for $1.50 off and other great coupons
Cons: The limit for active coupons on your card at one time is 25, and you can’t delete ones to make room for others. So, don’t add the coupons you don’t think you’ll use.
-
Shortcuts.com’s small list of participating stores still don’t cover every corner of the nation, so participation is limited by your geographic region.
-
No shopper’s card; no Shortcuts.com coupons so don’t forget that plastic little keyring card!

The other day, I received a bifold postcard about
