It also features a nifty little bar that indicates the amount of available savings that the site provides, along with the amount of savings you've made from the coupons you've printed, meaning that there's no need for you to pull out a calculator in order to deduce just how much you've skimmed off of your shopping bill.
Best Bit: The nifty 'Coupon Codes' section of the site features some pretty impressive deals for you to redeem, including savings at Amazon, Target, Nike and Forever 21.
