Digital Coupons

As I stated a few posts ago, I'm not big on clipping coupons so Dillons digital coupons for Plus card users got me a little excited. If you have a Dillons Plus card, go to www.dillons.com and register it. Then click on the loadable coupons link and select your coupons. The next time you go to Dillons it will automatically deduct the coupons for any qualifying purchases from your bill. Paper-free savings. I love it.
