Where to get coupons

Sunday Paper Coupon Inserts

First and foremost, I recommend subscribing to your Sunday paper. This is how I guarantee myself that I will ALWAYS have at least one copy of each weeks coupon inserts. While I usually try to get 1-3 more from the newstand, but most weekends I totally forget – so it’s nice to always have at least delivered to my door.

**TIP*** Want to know what coupons are coming in next week’s paper so you’ll know if you want to stock up on the paper? Just check here for a list of the upcoming coupons (usually available on Wednesday or Thursday!)

Other ideas for getting the sunday paper inserts – ask your neighbors, friends and family. You’d be surprised how many people just throw them out! You can try asking local stores that carry the paper what they do with the unsold ones – some will let you pick them up on Monday!

You can also buy the coupons you want from coupon clipping services or ebay.

Try SWAPPING coupons for ones you need! People do this on forums all the time – trading coupons they don’t use for the ones that they do! I’ll be hosting a swapping forum for my readers soon!!

Printable and E-Coupons

A very valuable resource for coupons is the internet. I’d say I use 50% paper coupons and 50% printable coupons. Most store coupons that are “stackable” are ones you print online!

Here are some online printable and e-coupon resources:
•All You
•Betty Crocker
•Box Tops for Education
•Cellfire
•CoolSavings
•Coupon Network
•Coupons.com
•Eat Better America
•Ever Save
•Grocery Coupon Network
•Home Made Simple
•PPGazette
•P & G
•Red Plum
•Shortcuts.com
•Smart Source
•Snack Picks
•Target Coupons
•Upromise

Manufacturers and Brands also often post coupons on their websites and facebook for a limited time. Whenever I find these, I will share the link with you here.

Get Coupons For The Products You Love and Use!

Another great way to get exactly the coupon you want is by simply contacting the company and sending them an email! Go here to read my post on how to do this
