Default Question about coupon booklet

Has anyone ever bought a coupon booklet from SuperSmartShopper.com? It is a $200.00 value grocery coupon certificate book that contains twenty $10 face value certificates that you can custom order the grocery coupons. If so, are they really worth the money? I have a code to get their $40 booklet for $20. I am looking for ways to get coupons. At this point, all I have are coupons I have printed from the net.

I had either that service or one like it and it was not worth it for me for the following reasons

It cost 1.00 "handling fee" over the cost of the book for each set of coupons I ordered. I had to send in the order form, 1.00, and a SASE to get my coupons back

I had to pick something like 30 coupons, and they would send me some of them. I never had 30 different products I knew I would use, and ended up getting coupons that were not useful to me when I got them.

Seems to me they were short dated.. but that I did not remember.

Was two or so years ago that I did it, but because of the above I would not do it again.

Thanks! All of you has saved me $20! Money is just not something we can waste around here. I have to be very careful about where it goes. I think I will take that $20 and put it toward our credit card debt!

If you need coupons, check out the coupon forum. There are lots of ladies willing to send you potlucks for a few postage stamps or a small handling fee. Just post an ISO coupons, and check your private messages!

I did a free trial for one of those my credit company offered and it was totally useless. Now when I need a mass quantity of coups, I order thru an online coupon service. If you need the name of the one I use, let me know (I don't know If I'm allowed to post stuff like that here- just PM me). The only downfall is you have to order a min of 5 of each coupon. So for about $5.00, you can get about $100. worth of coups. I find that to be so much easier for me than keeping track of trades, using a bunch of stamps, sorting thru all my coups to make trades etc.

But generally, the best way I've found to get coups is have relatives near by save their inserts for you.
