Once upon a time, I would buy 10 Sunday papers each week, until the price just from $0.99 up to $2.50 for each paper! {Ouch!}. Sure I could buy a subscription to the local paper and save a little, but not much! So what is a girl to do??? Stop couponing---I don't think so!
In this post I am going to give you several ways that you can obtain a good stash of coupons...other than from the Sunday paper.
1. Buy the paper---if you do this, check the paper stands at Dollar Tree or Dollar General and only pay $1 for your paper (non in our area).
2. Ask friends for their coupons---if you live in an apartment complex ask your many neighbors...:)
3. From the gym or coffee shops---many people will take their papers to these places, read them and leave them.
4. Try a clipping service---Pay someone to clip your coupons for you,
5. Ebay---If you decide to go this route, please just be careful and only buy from someone with a great ranking, located in the USA and to sweeten the deal more, make sure they offer free shipping.
6. Dumpster Diving---Yes really! Actually recycle bins, you know the non food dumpsters. If you even think about going this route, I do highly recommend getting permission from the owners or the blue lights might just show up, and that would not be good!
7. From the Stores---Many stores will have coupons through out them, from red-blinkie machines, peelies, tear pads---even in the sales ads themselves.
8. Print the coupons---Print coupons from trusted sites like Coupons.com, Redplum, Smartsource, and Coupon Network. You can print a max of two (2) like coupons per computer (If you have 2 computers, ipads, laptops, etc...you can print 4 like coupons, 10 computers, you can print 20 and so on.
9. Coupon Swap Shops---local couponers will meet a couple times a month and swap coupons, most of these are held at the library, or people homes.
10. Facebook and Twitter---Follow your favorite brands on these two sites for coupons that you can either print or receive in the mail.
