I found a great website that has "valid" online coupon/promo codes and in store coupons as well. The website is eDealinfo. To find great online coupon codes just click the "coupon" tab on their website or click here. Then click the letter to the right of the website that corresponds with the first letter of the merchant (i.e. - click the letter "B" for Barnes and Noble). It will direct you to a page that lists all merchants in their database system that starts with that letter.If you don't see your merchant in the list then they don't offer their coupons. However, they have a TON of merchants in their system.
Happy Shopping! :-)
