Where to find coupons?

[Chazmom]

Ok this will show what a newbie I really am but where does everyone find their coupons? So far I just use what is sent in the mail. I also got 1 Sunday paper but didn't use enough to make it worth buying each week. How do people get multiples? I would love to do a train but will never have enough quality coupons to trade. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Michelle

From newbie to newbie :-)
I get only one Sunday insert too, but there are other ways available
1. IP - internet printable coupons - there are several webcsites you can print from - coupons.com, redplum.com, smartsource.com, manufacturers websites, etc.. some qs are available at facebook. check your store policy if they accept ips. tip - IP are regional, so play a bit with zip codes, you'll be surprized how different qs might be...
2. free (or close to - .25 in my area) local papers - sometimes have shorter version of Sun. inserts
3. booklets (on special displays or at cs desk); peelies, hantags (on products), tearpads, blinkie (on shelfs) - available in stores, just look carefully while shopping. It also helps to follow treads for stores you shop - people share their findings, so you know what you're looking for
4. homemailers- rarely got any, need some help here too :-)

Hey TnTs!
on the homemailers, start by emailing companies that you like and ask if they have a coupon mailing list. often they don't, but they will send you a courtesy mailer of some coupons.

Also, look in our FREEBiES Forum because alot of the Frees come with coupons.
one good way to get some good coupons!

Welcome

I agree with tacatcon. Contacting companies is a great way to get coupons. Just go to any company's website and click the "contact us" button.

A couple of months ago I was on a train where we were asked to contact 5 companies a day for a couple of weeks. During that train ride, I remember checking my mail one day and having over 10 envelopes from different companies. I would just make sure you keep a list of the companies you contact becaused they all string together after a while.

We have a list of companies that people have successfully contacted for coupons.

Hi. I'm new too. I of course got the paper and then printed off the net f/Q sites. Last night I actually googled items f/ the ad's of stuff I wanted and didn't have a Q for and found several from the products website. Be aware though that alot of them redirect you to the same Q printing site and you can only print so many times(2 I think).

You are correct. The coupon sites will typically allow you to print 2 coupons at a time. Periodically, these will refresh, for instance on a monthly basis or a quarterly basis and at some point you will be able to print them again, but generally only 2 per consumer.
