Tips

Technically, we celebrate the best coupons and money-saving offers every day at KCL. But September is when we officially honor the coupon and its journey over the years from a casual hobby to a mainstream necessity during National Coupon Month 2026, running Sept. 1 - 30.

Thanks to our 2026 State of Couponing Survey, we know that 70% of our KCL app users have used a coupon in the past 60 days (up 14% from last year). So all month long, we'll be sharing our favorite ways to maximize coupons for newbies and pros alike. Plus, for Coupon Month 2026, we've got online saving sessions for new parents who want to (and need to!) harness the power of couponing.
