Just wondering where many people get there coupons from. Most of mine i get from 2 local convinience stores. Each Sunday night I go there and they give me the left over inserts from all the papers that are left. They don't mind because thay have to have dispose of them anyway. I have to get rid of all the circulars but it only takes about an hour a week and I wind up with more than 50 sets of coupons from different newspapers.

Must be nice! Our local paper for some reason has not had coupons since back in July. They just recently started adding the Valassis back in and they do have the P & G ones the first of the month. My dh is a mgr at a convenience store and has just recently started bringing me their leftover papers. Yeah! Before that though, I have gotten some from ebay for items I knew we could use alot of (had to get like 10 or 20 of the same coupon as a lot) and some miscellaneous lots. It was worth it though. I ended up spending about $9 on some coupons, but have saved over $100 and still haven't used all of them. Plus we have cabinets full of foods we eat alot that will last quite awhile.:)

I get mine from the sunday paper. If a really good coupon for juice or diapers comes out I'll order them online. Plus I use tons of target coupons!

I get mine from the Sunday paper too, if there's a lot of coupons I will buy a second paper, I exchange them with a friend, and from a coupons train here.

Where is your coupon swap? Or better yet how did you find it? I am near Charlotte.

I get my coupons from the Sunday paper and from my job. I work at a public library and when I'm working on Sundays for overttime I take all of the coupons. Monday mornings, we also receive another paper that I get coupons from.

The grocery store here sells double packs of Sunday's paper for 2.00. One paper is 1.58 so for the extra change I can get double the savingins on top of what I get form my job.

I've been thinking about asking my neighbor to give me his coupons from the paper if his wife does not use them. The more the merrie I'am:o

I get one from a neighbor after she has picked out what she wants...but I have to hound her son to get them for me...I never did get this past weeks coupons, I was out of town and didn't start bugging the son until Tuesday...Then with Triples at HT, I was told she wasn't going shopping until Saturday, and I haven't seen him since Friday...

I also have a neighbor who has moved about .5 from the house 2 up from mine. This morning I took 4 papers from that driveway (Thursday-Sunday) so they must not want them. My son is in charge of the "lawn maintance" so I just took out the coupons and threw the papers in the recycling. If they want the paper they can come get them. That has been going on for several weeks.


I also buy them from Ebay if there are some I really want...like Kraft Parmesan cheese (my kids go through that like WATER!). I don't always want 20 coupons either, but there are a few sellers that sell 2 or 3 at a time and don't charge extra shipping for combining auctions so I usually buy a few from that person too. The way I see it is if I can save more than I spent on aquiring the coupons then I am saving money. I have read where some people say they would NEVER pay for coupons. For some of us that is the only way to get the extras we want.
