Welcome to the Deal Seeking Mom Coupon Database!
Here you will find a complete listing of the coupons found in the weekly newspaper inserts and ALL YOU magazine, printable coupons from sites such as Coupons.com, SmartSource and RedPlum, and ecoupons from Cellfire and Upromise. We hope to expand to include printable coupons from other sources as well as the database grows!
There are many great features we’ve built into the database to make it easier to use and more useful for you. Let’s take a look at some of those to start, and be sure to refer to the FAQs page for answers to other common questions.

Main Database
Expanded/Compressed View
The Deal Seeking Mom Coupon Database includes ten key pieces of information about every coupon: description, value, expiration date, source, brand, limitations, store (if it is a store coupon), category, product subcategory and blogging format.
However, we know that having all of that information on the screen at one time may make it hard on your eyes, so the database can switch between the default compressed view – which includes description, value, expiration date, source and blogging format – and the expanded view depending on your needs.
Search by Any Field
Make coupon match-ups easier by searching for coupons according to the store deals each week. Search any field using the search box at the top of the database and quickly find the coupons you’re looking for!
Sort by Column Header
Make your search results even more useful by sorting the results by any column header. Whether you’re looking for coupons that expire this week or those with the highest value, click on any header in the table to sort all of the data by that column.
Blogging Format
For bloggers who post coupon match-ups and deals on their own blogs, use the blogging format to simplify the process. Rather than having to write out a description of each coupon you refer to, simply copy and paste the blogging format right from the database for a complete description that includes value, product description, expiration date and source.
Printing the Database
Use the Print button (located in the search box) to print a list of coupons. You can search for specific coupons or print the complete list of coupons in your Personal Coupon Box.
Once you click the Print button, you will be taken to a printer-friendly version of the coupons you currently have filtered. We suggest that you set your printer on landscape orientation for the best results.
Personal Coupon Box
One of the most exciting features of the Deal Seeking Mom Coupon Database is the ability to create your own Personal Coupon Box, where you can track the coupons in your stash to make deal shopping easier.
Getting Started
To set up your Personal Coupon Box, you first need to create an account here at Deal Seeking Mom. Simply click on the Personal Coupon Box link above the database and you will be directed to register or login. Click on register and follow the instructions to setup your own account.
Once you’re done, login to begin using the Personal Coupon Box.
Add Coupons from the Database to Your Personal Coupon Box
Now that you’re logged in, you should see check boxes in the far left column of the database next to each coupon. Simply check the box of any coupon that you have in your stash. Once you’re done on the first page, click on the link that says “Add to Personal Coupon Box.”
You should receive a confirmation message at the top of the database that your coupon has been added to your Personal Coupon Box, and the checkbox will now be greyed out.
Customizing Your Personal Coupon Box
Once you’re done adding coupons to your Personal Coupon Box from the database, click on the Personal Coupon Box button above the search box (you can also bookmark the link for future reference: http://dealseekingmom.com/personal-coupon-box) to go to your account. Here, you can change quantities and set the expiration date for printable coupons.
Add Additional Coupons
Chances are you will still have coupons in your stash that aren’t in the main database. To add these to your Personal Coupon Box, click on the link within the “Add A Coupon” box, which will then expand to include entry fields for you to manually enter any additional coupons. When you’re done filling in the information, click on the “Add My New Coupon!” button to add it to your box.
Embedding the Database on Your Site or Blog
Another great feature of the Deal Seeking Mom Coupon Database is that you’re able to embed it as an iframe directly on your blog as a resource for your readers.
If you’d like to setup the database on your site, you can simply add the following code to any page. We do ask that you keep the first four buttons (Personal Coupon Box, Instructions, FAQs and Contact Us) intact, but instructions for modifying the last three to point to resources on your own blog can be found after the iframe code.
Please note that there are two sets of code below. The first is for sites with modified templates that allow them to use the full width of the screen (like we do on Deal Seeking Mom). The second is for sites with a sidebar.
Full Screen iFrame Code
Sidebar iFrame Code
*You may need to change the width of the iframe (at the very bottom of the code) to adjust to your specific layout.
Modifying the Resource Buttons
We encourage you to modify the Abbreviations, Buy More Coupons and Organizing Your Coupons buttons to point to resources on your own blog.
Find the following code for these three buttons in the iframe code above:
Simply change each link to reflect the link you want them to point to instead. If you want to change the name of any button, you’ll need to change both instances of it in the code above as well.
HTML Links
If your blog does not support the Javascript buttons used in the code above, replace all of the code before the iframe tag with the following code:
For full screen pages:
For pages with sidebars:
To customize the links, replace the hyperlinks in the last three buttons with the applicable hyperlinks from your own site.
