    Default Sunday Coupons

    I learned recently that at the end of the day, gas stations throw the papers away except for the first page, which they use to get a credit on the next day. I called and spoke to a manager and asked if I could have the ads/coupons. He said that was ok, and he saves them for me (ALL OF THEM). I pick them up on monday, and get (depending on the sunday) multiple copies of the coupons. I hope some of you are able to do the same

    GREAT suggestion! We live less than a mile from a gas station and I know the assistant manager there. I'll definitely be asking!

    that's great news!

    I get the coupons from my MIL's CVS store. She has to share some, but she brings most of them home.

    I think it's def. worth asking around for everyone - you never know til you ask.

    Also, if you have a newspaper recycling center nearby, you can pull the coupons out of there also!
