Paper or Cutting sites

[BMP1260]

I have been couponing for roughly 10 months or so and have been purchasing my papers on monday morning. I usually get at least 10 but sometimes more. I have also been supplementing with coupon cutting websites. In the 10 months I have accumulated a nice stockpile.

Recently I have returned to graduate school and have been incredibly busy. Consequently I have about two weeks worth of coupons to cut and sort. It also seems that since I have a stockpile I am using less coupons. For example I am usually only buying things that are 75% off or more, unless I really need it. So at the end of the month I feel like I am getting rid of a lot more unused coupons.

So my question is: I am considering forsaking buying newspapers and switching solely to coupon cutting websites. I feel like I m wasting 7.50 or more on papers every week.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm.... well, personally, I would just preview HCW before you buy the paper every week to see if there are any MQs you have to have in that week's paper; then buy a mass quantity of papers if necessary, especially since you say you already have a large stockpile. You could always use a coupon clipping service for mass quanitites of coupons, but it doesn't sound like they are going to stay a viable option for long; check out this link within HCW to read about it: Change coming for Coupon “buying”? According to P&G, RP & SS it's considered coupon fraud.
