COUPONS
fyi: when printing internet coupons (or IPs - internet printables), you may print them twice per computer. You may NOT copy them - that is coupon fraud. Please keep in mind that each store has their own policy on accepting coupons and they may have specific policies regarding IPs. Learn your store's coupon policy and carry it with you if necessary.

NATIONAL DEAL WEBSITES
These websites do not have regional coupon deals for the Coachella Valley, but if you happen to like to get out of the desert heat during the summer and escape to San Diego or Los Angeles, you might find something good! Every now and then there are national deals as well (i.e. 2 tickets on Fandango for $9. I used this one and got a date night with hubby for an evening 3-D movie - without the coupon it would have been $30!!!!!).
