Do you buy coupons?

[Doglover8180]

What are some good places online to buy coupons (insert and non-insert). I know you can buy them on Ebay but where else?

I just placed my 2nd order with the coupon clippers. The last batch saved me over $25. This time I had trouble finding many that I wanted.

Do you buy coupons and if so where? And what days should I look for new coupons before they disappear? It seems like the good ones are bought fast!

Thanks!

start trading HERE on HCW!!!! it's a great way to get rid of the coupons you may not use, and get coupons that want!!! way better than buying them from a clipping service!

I totally agree

I buy my big quanities on Ebay but lately I have been buying from someone on here at HCW.... I haven't tried coupon clippers, but the thing I like about ebay is they usually have different values for the same coupons since there are sellers all around the US and different values go to different areas.

I don't buy coupons at all...I do, however, pay for someone else to find them for me. Purchasing coupons goes against the fine print of almost all coupons.

Like uummm said, eBay seems to have better gatherers in most cases, however, it seems fellow HCW members feel their time gathering isn't worth quite as much as eBayer's think their time is worth.

But...eBay seems to be quicker to get the transaction complete.

But do what works for you. It's rare that clipper services actually have what you need. You can always find them at HCW or eBay.

OOOPS I am usually careful to say "acquire" not buy...Just like I Acquire some free items at the store since I don't really pay for the free stuff.

The stuff on the clipping sites go quickly - on the coupon clippers rachel posts her stuff on midnight on Fridays. If its a really good week I'll stay up and place a large order. Most of the times the super good qs are gone after a few hours. I like the CCC because it is quicker and all in one spot.

If I need just a few coupons I trade on here on HCW. It usually takes more time but usually coupons are cheaper and traders more generous.

If I need one type of coupon in large quanties (say 20 .85/1 Viva coupons). I'll go to ebay.

I rarely buy q's- try to trade with other HCWers. I did buy a large lot of gatorade g2 q's from a coupon clipping site- those were hard to find as they were regional. Our kids go through these like gangbusters so it was a smart choice!

I've found that ebay is the best way to find a large number of the same coupon, and quite often sellers have shipping discounts if buying more than one item from them so that shipping is made more reasonable. Also, some sellers on e-bay have their own web sites set up as well so you can look on both places once you find somebody you are comfortable with. I also like that it's easier to find coupons of different amounts - if I get a $1/2 Q I can usually find $.50/1 on ebay from a different region.
