Getting Started: Where Do I Get Coupons??

I realized as I went into elaborate detail on how to shop at Giant Eagle and Target, that I didn't cover a few basic things!


Where can I get all of these coupons?

• Ask friends, family, and coworkers. Chances are, if they aren't using them, they are throwing them away.
• Purchase the Sunday paper. Three or four Sunday papers may run you $8-10, but it will go a long way as far as savings! It is helpful when a great deal comes around to have 3 or 4 of the same coupon.
• Print! It takes time and money to print coupons, but at the end of the month, many of them go away, and new ones appear. Remember, each computer (or iPad, or phone) can only print 2 of each coupon. There are plenty of places you can print coupons, such as:
• Coupons.com
• Every Day Saver
• Betty Crocker
• Kellogg's
• Pillsbury
• Smart Source
• Red Plum
• Purchase inserts or clipped coupons online. You can order full inserts, or just a few coupons, depending on what your needs are. My favorites are:
• Kuntry Klippers
• Bargain Coupon Clippers
• We Clip U Save
• Klip2Save

Remember - you won't be able to purchase 10 packs of free toilet paper, or 12 bottles of cheap shampoo without 10 or 12 coupons! It's best to get a jump start on the deals by figuring out what you want a day or two before the sale starts, then ordering those coupons if you need to. If you purchase one Sunday paper each week that is great - but you'll be limited to printable coupons and the coupons in that one paper, unless you get more coupons somehow. :)
