Where do you get most of your coupons?

**danimarie0820** · 06-15-2008, 09:28 PM

I used to do most of my grocery shopping at aldi's, but now with gas prices going up it isn't worth driving so far anymore. I bought the newspaper today and only cut out 4 coupons that I would actually use. Any advice? Thanks!

I use www.thecouponclippers.com

I was at a loss as to how everyone was having such success with coupons until someone told me about this site. Now I'm a stockpiling fool!

I love thecouponclippers.com! I was just about to sit down and make up an order tonight. I used to live near a store that regularly did double coupons up to a dollar, and when they're ad came up on Sunday I'd order the coupons, get them by Wed or Thurs, and make a trip to Giant Eagle. I got a ton of free stuff and a ton of stuff for just pennies by doing that.

The Sunday inserts seem to be really skinny since I moved up here. I don't know if it's the timing or the location, but the coupons are just piddly.

Unfortunately its the location

Even if we lived on the other side of the Sound, they'd be much better.....I wish we had more of a selection of stores around here.

Also, have you ordered from thecouponclippers.com since you moved here? How long does it take for you to get your coupons? I've started getting a Bull Dog edition of the paper (on Saturdays) and ordering my coupons Saturday night. Otherwise I barely get them before the sale is over...

You can try
~thecouponclippers.com
~couponmaster.com
~ebay.com

I get lots from these.

I haven't ordered them since I've been here, actually. I was in Ohio when I ordered them last. Aren't they based out of Florida?

I wonder if I'd get better coupons if I picked up the Seattle paper?

the few times i get coupons is at a checkout at the store i've attended. most papers or ads (mail) aren't anymore... and many places do not take those printed off.

I thought we were talking about the Seattle Times!

Are the coupons in The Sun? (we don't get that one).

I usually stop by Albertson's or a gas station on Saturday's to get the early edition of The Seattle Times - it has all of the ads/coupons. If you order your coupons from the couponclippers before 4 am Sunday morning (so, in other words, Saturday night), they are mailed out on Monday. If you order them Sunday, they aren't mailed out until Tuesday. They take about four days to get here.

I didn't get the paper this week until about an hour or so ago, but I looked up Walgreens/RiteAid/Target online and ordered my coupons this morning (but didn't make the 4 am cutoff).

**Nishu** · 06-15-2008, 10:27 PM

I get the Sun. =/

There were also some coupons yesterday in another little paper they send at us... I think it's called the central kitsap reporter?

I'm going to have to sit down tonight and do my ordering.

I agree with couponclippers.com, I used to use them all the time back when I was married.

Now, the neighbor lady gives me her coupons from the Sunday paper but not a lot I find I can use.

I don't really use coupons, but I follow my flyers religiously.

we get a grocery coupon from the gas station which is always $2-3 dollars and since dh gets gas for his work truck every other day i have about $10-15 savings there.

I use save.ca as well.

**MomToTwoBoys** · 06-16-2008, 10:47 AM

I haven't used coupons outside of the in-store ones from Superstore and the Air Miles ones from Safeway.

I miss coupons.

**rachelMcK** · 06-17-2008, 04:12 PM

In Ontario, I find that coupons are few and far between. I can hardly find them anywhere but my friend told me about save.ca. Its selection is ok, good if you have kids, but you can only order coupons once every 2 months or something...thats not so good.

I've used www.thecouponclippers.com for a couple of years now!!

**itsahumanzoo** · 06-17-2008, 04:31 PM

I get extra inserts from my in laws (they get two papers) and sometimes my GIL if she remembers.

I also print coupons from coupons.com and coolsavings.com and eversave.com

I refuse to buy coupons.
