    Smile Unusual Places To Find Coupons

    Let's all post the most unusual place(s) that we have found coupons. It may give others ideas on new places to keep a look out for coupons.
    Right off, I can't think of an unusual place to find coupons, but I do always pick up one of the FREE health magazines that pharmacies such as Walgreens offers. Periodically, Kroger will have FREE health magazines to give away back in the pharmacy area as well.
    I look forward to hearing everyone's suggestions.

    I go to the public Library on Mondays and get the coupons out of the Sunday papers. (Be sure to ask the librarians first). I've actually gone to several branches when there are good coupons that week!!!

    Some of the best coupons I have had came on the packaging.

    Yes I agree, the best ones are stuck to the prodcut itself!

    Previously I had purchased a 1.5L of Green Apple Scent of Lysol Multipurpose Cleaner refill. I paid $3.77 for it at Walmart, almost lasted me for the year.

    Then when I ran out and zipped over to No Frills to see what they had since they had it advertised for $0.97 for a 1L size. I was going to stock up on a few but they didnt have any Green Apple left. I was so sad, marching my way down and out the aisle, when I saw one out of the corner of my eye.

    Someone had tried to hide it! I pushed the other products aside and grabbed it. Since the sale, it no longer had a proper shelf space thus me not being able to find out how much they wanted for it.

    I took it to the cash, she scanned it for $2.99 since it wasnt a 1L size on sale for $0.97 but the only 1.5L size left in the store I got it reduced by half so they could clear it off their inventory log. It was now down to $1.49 and then the cashier noticed a manufacturer coupon stuck to it. $1.50 off this immediate purchase!

    LOL you should've heard me hooting and hollering at the cash. Other people couldnt believe I had found any green apple scent let alone being able to walk out of the store with it for free Now I think THAT was a GREAT bargain!

    One area Kmart store has a card table set up near their pharmacy. I've found various coupons there, usually in brochures for health-related products. They also have one of those free health magazines with coupons in it.
