Call Me Crazy!

I am so excited to go pick up the Sunday paper and see what coupon goodies are in there! Its my first Sunday to do so! So I guess they are right when they say its the little things...I think that if i had no morals, I would have sent my dd out to collect the neighborhood papers.

Anyway, I was going to get one, should i get more than one just to "stock up"?

I would get more than one. Especially beacause there are supposedly 5 inserts in today's paper, so it's a great week to buy extra papers to build up your q stockpile. Each and every week I buy 5 papers, if that helps you at all.

Hi and welcome!!

Today's paper has 5 inserts inside! They have some fairly nice coupons too, so I got 6 copies. I usually have to spend 2.00 per paper, so that's 12.00. Looking at the qs... I will save more than 12.00 with the qs out of just one of the papers. So it does pay for itself if you want to get multiples. Getting multiples also gives me plenty of extra qs to trade with.

You may want to get one paper at first, go to the car and look through the qs and see what you have. If there is a freebie coupon in there, if there is something in there that your family uses a lot of, are there high value qs? After a quick look through, you can decided whether or not you want one paper or if you'd rather have more.

Getting one paper will insure that you have one q, but a LOT of deals that come around require buying more than one of the item, so multiple qs come in handy. Trading for more of what you need is always an option but if it's a popular q, you may have trouble finding someone who will let theirs go, lol. Multiples are a great way to stock up for cheaper and get your stockpile going faster.

Thanks for the advise! I will take the time to look through and see if I want to get another one, a simple thing that I really would not have thought of! A few extra min in the quiet car (I have 4 kids) is always a happy time. ;)
I dont have a clue what the paper runs here I have never bought it before.

AHHHH, I feel like I just won the lottery! I got 2 papers and cut every single coupon out of there.

Now, how do I trade the coupons that I dont need? Well I guess i can go look for the answer.

Thanks again everyone! I feel like a kid in a candy store! :)

I usually buy 5 and then on Monday I dumpster dive for extras. This is a great way to have extra to trade and buy multiple items at good sales. And the best thing about it is it's free!
