Life Goggles had a great post over Christmas called Alternative Guide to Christmas Shopping, where they talked about going green online, charity shops, bartering for your goods, websites that offer you cash back for shopping on well known sites, and getting discounts using voucher codes. Quite frankly, if you don’t get a discount or cashback when shopping online, you’re paying too much.

In this vein, MyCoupons have just relaunched and are paying bloggers to take a look at their site.

MyCoupons is a free website that currently has 13,820 coupon codes, 10 times larger than any other coupon site (according to them). They search the internet and work with merchants to provide you with discount codes for your online shopping. Originally set up in 1994, the site has undergone a couple of name changes, and sales and then saved from bankruptcy, the site has just relaunched on March 17th 2007.

As well as being a coupon directory, it also has a coupon community, again that is free to join, where you can earn CouponCredits that enable you to earn Visa Giftcards by contributing to the site. For a website that hasn’t been open in its current form for long, there are a large number of interesting posts, although if I’m being critical there are far too many forums at the moment, it can be a little overwhelming.

If you want to get a better feel for the site, take a look at the MyCoupons blog.

Next time when you’re shopping online and want to save some money (you should ALWAYS try to save some money….), in conjunction with sites like Hot UK Deals, Free Stuff Junction, DVD Reviewer’s Bargain Buckets forum and voucher codes, add MyCoupons to your list.

The BBC
reports that:

a recent crackdown on bag snatches in Leicester city centre has been a success.
The Leicester City Centre Joint Action Group handed out small bells for people to attach to their purses and bags from 1 December 2006 to 5 January 2007.

The bells act as an alarm to bag owners and a deterrent to thieves.
