Okay, so now that we have read and hopefully understood what a coupon/ad matchup is, you may be wondering, where in the world do I get these coupons from??
Hopefully this will help!
1. SUNDAY Newspaper – here is where you will find a HUGE source of your coupons, the inserts vary week to week but will have 1-3 coupon inserts, Smart Source, Red Plum, and Proctor and Gamble (the P &G normally come out once per month). If you subscribe to the Sunday paper then you are set to start, if you don’t but know somebody that does, ask them if you can have the inserts they aren’t using J A lot of people just toss them! Or pick up a copy or two at a local newsstand! The savings inside are worth the cost of the paper, but if you can get them for free from friends or family even better ;)
2. Printable Coupons—this is another HUGE and easy source of some great coupons. There are many sites that provide coupons that you can print, for free, directly from the website for the products you want. Here are some of the better sites for printables:
3. Inside of products – be sure to check inside of the products you buy! You will be surprised at how many coupons you will find printed on the boxes or folded inside!
4. Peelies – coupons attached to a product that you can peel off and usually use at the time of purchase!
5. Blinkie machines and tear pads – these you will find in the stores usually next to or near the product you are buying, the blinkie machines spit out the coupons at you, the tear pads are simply pad you take a coupon off of.
6. All You Magazine – This has been a new source for me, it can be purchased at Wal-Mart for $1.97 and is a great source for some high value coupons.
7. Mailers and Emails – if you sign up with manufacturers directly through their website you can get on the mailing lists to receive coupons in the mail and/or via email.
8. Ebay – if there is a specific coupon you are looking for; this is sometimes an inexpensive way to obtain a few of the SAME coupon for cheap. I only use this sparingly.
I have had ladies tell me all kinds of ways they obtain their coupons, sometimes you have to think outside the box and get creative! One lady goes to her local coffee shops on Sunday mornings where people leave the newspapers piled up after enjoying their morning coffee, or the local breakfast places J Feel free to share your ideas and/or tips! New ideas always inspire and help others!
