depending on how good the papers are i get anywhere from 2 to 10. I have started using a clipping service a LOT more often, because I might only want 3 coupons out of all there are, but I might want 20 of that coupon, and with a service it's a lot more cost effective for me. Even when using a service I still buy one paper to make sure I didn't miss something I may have wanted.

I also buy one paper. I use a coupon clipping service too. I just joined a yahoo coupon group too that has where you send coupons and someone and will send you some. I hope it works out alright. I sent out my first packet today.

Default Re: how many newspapers do you buy a week ?

I only get two a week. The local one which has Smart Souce, and the one from Savannah which has Smart Source and Red Plum.

Since I dont' come close to using all the coupons in it, I just wait and when I find a really good deal (cheap or mere pennies) I'll find those coupons on eBay and order them. I find its much cheaper in the long run that way. Even w/ monthly P&G inserts, its cheaper for me to order 10 off eBay than it is to buy 10 papers.

Default Re: how many newspapers do you buy a week ?

I either buy 10 papers or none at all. Since they raised the price to $2 I have become much pickier about the weeks that I buy. If I am only wanting/needing a couple, I won't bother. I get the money back all in the end anyway, but it still hurts to pay that much. I really should consider buying inserts on ebay or from traders here.

Ebay usually has some pretty good deals. I can get 10 inserts for $10 including shipping. I usually look at the "buy it nows" rather than auctions. Most of the time the BINs end up cheaper than the auctions.

For coupons I usually can get 10 or 20 of a coupon I want for $1.50 (which includes shipping). Some of the hotter coupons might be $3 for 20, but still a pretty good deal. Theres usually only 2 or 3 coupons I'll buy multiples off eBay per week and its usually ends up beings coupons I couldn't get in my paper anyway.

Do you buy from a particular person regularly on ebay? Or do you just shoot for best price? I wish I could find someone local. If I don't cut the coupons on Sunday, they won't ever get cut.

Usually I just see who has the best deals. I've only ordered P&G inserts once (for the $4 fusion razor coupon so I could get free razors at Walgreens), but I plan on doing that each month now since I end up using a pretty good percentage of coupons out of the P&G saver. I've ordered btwn 15-20 other sets of coupons and haven't had a problem with any of the sellers yet.

I just noticed some of the posters on here have multiple of some coupons and will trader for coupons or stamps. I plan on exploring this more next time I need multiple of a certain coupon if I remember.

Default Re: how many newspapers do you buy a week ?

0-10 depending on what qs are expected. I check the previews then decide how many papers I want to buy.

if it is a real bad q week i buy 0. if a just ok week , if I am in charleston I buy 1 or 2; if I am in the upstate I buy 5.
If it is a really great week i make sure I am in the upstate and get 10.

I also dumpster dive occasionally when there has been a good coupon/coupons out ;)

in charleston the papers cost me 1.75 a piece, in the upstate I can get them .75 a piece. If I need more of certain qs I try trading for them.
