Innovative Ways to Use Social Media to Score Deals

Saving money online is nothing new but since social media got in the mix there are more ways than ever to collect cash on the web. Here are a few of the more innovative ways to use social media to save you green…
Tweet for deals: Oftentimes companies like to see who Tweets about their brand so try the tactic of talking to them. Tweet a company to ask if they have any deals or specials or ask outright for coupons or discounts. It can’t hurt!
Use Facebook to find a good price: If you’re looking for something specific to your area, say, texas electricity rates, send out a Facebook message to people in the same boat asking who they use. You’ll get some creative responses from people you haven’t already talked to.
Coupon codes: Coupon groups like Living Social are all the rage, but whatever happened to good old online coupons? They’re still out there, so ask your social network to refer you to a good place to get coupons for a specific item – you’ll be bombarded by links!
