You can also find manufacturer coupons in home mailings, internet printed coupons, blinkies, tear pads and peelies. You can easily identify a manufacturer coupon because the words 'manufacturer coupon' will be printed on the coupon, usually next to the expiration date. Manufacturer coupons also have a double, divided bar code.A store coupon is a coupon issued by a particular store for use only at that specific store. Most store coupons can be found in the stores weekly ads, but occasionally you can find them in other places. Some stores, such as Food Lion will have store coupons you can print out online by going to their store website.
