I don't know if this has been mentioned before but Tylenol is offering a $5.00 off coupon on any Tylenol, Motrin, Pediacare, Benadryle, Sudafed, St. joseph or Imodium product.

To get the coupon you have to download a small program and have a printer hooked up so that it can print one off for you.

This post leads to Coupons.com, which is an advertising company. They require you to install software on your computer which is questionably close to "spyware".

Here's what I found on a site that looked at the Coupons.com software

I recently examined software from Coupons.com. At first glance their approach seems quite handy. Who could oppose free coupons? But a deeper look reveals troubling behaviors I can't endorse. This piece summarizes my key concerns:

* Installing with deceptive filenames and registry entries that hinder users' efforts to fully remove Coupons' software.
* Failing to remove all Coupons.com components upon a user's specific request.
* Assigning each user an ID number, and placing this ID onto each printed coupon, without any meaningful disclosure.
* Allowing third-party web sites to retrieve users' ID numbers, in violation of Coupons.com's privacy policy.
* Allowing any person to check whether a given user has printed a given coupon, in violation of Coupons.com's privacy policy.

In addition, I found the following sites with information about deceptive practices of Coupons.Com:

Also, this topic is now "around the campfire" where it's better suited to further discussion.

martinfocazio is right.

Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch.
