Where do I start? Newbie overwhelmed! LOL

I used to do couponing back in the old days BEFORE COMPUTERS! LOL. (guess that dates me some.)
Now it is kinda complicated and there is soooo much I can't remembeer it all. (age thing again).
I have signed up for paid surveys...yea! Earned a little $$ already.
I did my FIRST thingy where you sign up for something and they send you $40 in gas coupons. (I know, be sure and cancel before first month is out!)
Before this fantastic board I would NEVER have signed up like that!

I have emailed many companies with compliments. Lots have responded that they're sending me coupons in the mail..but I haven't gotten them yet.

Now the really really bad news! We do NOT have a CVS Pharmacy here! The closest one is 3 1/2 hours away! I am sooooo bummed about that! I was all ready with my coupons, and my FAQ I'd printed...I went to our CVS grocery store...there was nothing. I asked about the ECB card and got a blank look. Seems all they offer is a reward card and you get 'prizes'...not even points to use for groceries.....aaarrgghh.

So I looked around and no where is there a place to find coupons. I have NO COUPONS to trade! HELP. Where can I BUY coupons?
The ones in the paper are 2 flimsy mailers.
NOWHERE do they double or triple coupons except:
Fred's (like Family Dollar store) does only on Saturday 70 cents or less.
Harps Grocery does on 60 cents or less all the time.
And they don't advertise it! It is by word of mouth!
I swear, it is BEAREN (SP) around here!

So I sorted my coupons and have them ready to use on Sat. etc....at least I can do that.

I feel so cheated...I wanted FREE GROCERIES too...sniff sniff...
