    How do I get hard coupons instead of printables?

    A little background... I have used coupons all my life. First helping my mom when I was young and on my own for more than a decade.

    I've been checking into websites for our favorite products, and it seems that all you can find these days are printables. The stores in my area do not accept printed coupons. So my question is how can I can get hard coupons for brands we like besides inserts and trading/ordering online? I want to join actual mailing lists, not e-mail lists/newsletters with links to printables.

    Is this a lost cause? :(

    Hi you can write the companies of the brands you like or want to try. Alot of them will send you coupons, some of them are FREEs to try their product, etc. Some will just put you on a mailing list and you can get them through the mail. Some won't send anything at all but alot of them do.

    Start emailing or calling the co's directly. Compliment them on their product. Ask if they have a mailing list and if they do, you would love to be put on it as stores in your area don't accept internet printables. I don't contact co's as much as I have in the past, but when I did, I would get high value to free product coupons.

    Also, be on the lookout in your stores b/c there are other sources besides inserts, such as blinkies, tearpads & booklets. All You magazine is filled with coupons each month. Its only available only @ Walmart or subscription.

    Good Luck!

    lots of great traders you can trade non inserts for.

    but do the emailing the companies. most i do are for compliments...but every once in a while i got a complaint. i am honest and try to include all the information i can. usually in a week or two i have something in my mail.

    facebook giveaways are another way. you will have a free home mailer every once in awhile

    Go to the coupon database and establish a Wish List. This will match you with others who have those q and you might be able to work a trade. I know you don't want to trade but that has been one of the best ways for me to gather qs.

    I forgot to ask.. What stores do you have in your area? Even if your local grocery stores don't take IPs, stores like Target, Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens do accept IPs.
