I have family & friends save the q's for me.

I spend about $50 a yr on a newspaper sub.
I can save that in about 3 weeks shopping w/ q's.

Have you tried the Dollar Tree? That's where I get mine if I want extras. Saves $.50 per paper here.

I can buy the weekend edition for .75-It has all the Q's that the Sunday paper does (Sunday paper is $1.50). I signed up for newspaper delivery for .99 a week. I also budget for my newspapers (it comes out of my grocery budget)-this way I'm not spending "more" money on newspapers.

This week since I was getting a lot I used my RR at Walgreens. I was going to use some Bucks at CVS since one can usually build those back up fairly fast, but forgot my ECBs.

I get a smaller paper that is only .75c each, which is worth its weight in coupons if you ask me. On a off week i buy 5 papers, on a good week I will get 10-15, this weekend all up i got 16 papers, two fo which i paid with my extra care bucks at cvs, I would have just used my cvs bucks and got them all there, but by the time I got to the cvs they only had two left, so if you dont want to pay out of pocket, use your extra care bucks and get them at cvs :)

I normally buy at least 2 papers if there are decent coupons in there (it says on the front of it the dollar amount of the coupons contained) but usually no more than 4 and these are $1.50 each. so betweem $4-$6, but my DH for some reason will bring home has a pocket full of change so I just gather the change that he brings home, or that I score from doing his laundry and that all goes into my paper money stash. I don't really count it into our income so it's like extra money around. lol and I use this change for most of my cvs transactions as well, so it's like nothing out of my pocketbook

If you only use 1 $2 off coupon, you paid for your newspaper. If you use a $4 one or 3 $4 ones, you've already won. Trust me, since I started getting the paper and clipping coupons, my freebies and under $1 items have skyrocketed. It really is amazing how 1Q can make a good deal a fabulous deal!

I happen to run into a good deal the other day. I went to my local grocery store. There was a representative from the major city newspaper trying to sell subscriptions delivered to your home. So I listened to what he had to say. Well Im glad I did, he offered me a free $15 GC to the grocery store if I signed up to have the newpaper delivered to my house on Sunday's. The cost is .50 cents cheaper per paper than what I pay at the store. I thought that was great. My newspaper puts out a early edition on Saturdays so I can still get one on Saturday and get the second delivered to my house on Sunday. And Got a $15 GC for groceries. If you ever see those guys at your local grocery store, you might want to stop and listen they might be giving something free too.

I have subscribed to the Minneapolis Star Tribune off and on for the past 4 years. It is a $1.75 paper that has a complete set of the coupons. Because I let my subscription run out, occasionally, they always contact me to sign up again and give me a better deal. I'm down to .50 a paper, and I have 2 delivered each week. I usually get my mom and dads (not as complete coupons) and my grandmas most weeks as well
