Where to find coupons??

So now that you have an idea about the different deals around.....where can you find the coupons??

My main source of coupons is the Sunday paper. You can get a very reasonable subscription for the Kentucky/Cincinnati Enquirer by subscribing to either the Boone County Recorder, Campbell County Recorder, or the Bethel Journal. With this subscription, you get the local paper on Thursdays PLUS the Sunday edition with all the ads and coupons. Price is great on this versus just subscribing to the Enquirer. You don't have to live in one of the areas either - as long as you have the capacity to get the Enquirer, you'll get your papers. Check out the link with the pricing here : http://communitypress.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/99999999/CUST/60628005


Another avenue to get coupons is from printing them on your own. PLEASE PLEASE make sure that it is a reputable site before printing!! I typically use coupons.com, because I know they are valid. Never reprint a coupon someone pdf's or emails to you. I have a link to coupons.com on the bottom of my page that can link you to their site.

I also will use the clipper services if there are multiples of a coupon I would like to have. Two of my favorite are Coupons and Things by Dede: http://www.couponsthingsbydede.com/default.asp as well as the coupon master: http://www.thecouponmaster.com/
I have ordered from both and they are both very quick with their shipping and typically have a very good stock at hand.

And then there is also Ebay. Make sure if you order from ebay that it is someone who has done quite a bit of business and has a good feedback rating. Also, take a good look at the coupons they are listing. You want to make sure they are not fradulent coupons!

If you have a Kroger Plus card - you can register your card at http://www.shortcuts.com as well as http://www.cellfire.com . These are two sites that will electronically add coupons onto your Kroger plus card based on what you select. It typically takes about an hour after adding them online until they will be able to be redeemed in store. All it takes is registering your card on their site - and I must say, its very nice to have! I keep an updated list of what coupons I have registered with both sites in the front of my binder, that way I know what savings are available to me!

My super doubles trip.......

was very fun! I got about $45 of merchandise for $2 and change! That also included a lollipop for my 4 year old :-) I will get some pictures up later today! I do have to say (although I went early), it was organized and the staff seemed to be prepared for us. I hope they keep up the good work all week long!

Also, my original list had ACT Mouthwash listed, but the coupon that is 2.00/1 is for the 33 oz bottle.....my Kmart didn't even have this size at all - the 18 oz bottle was 3.99, and there is a 1.00/1 (doubles to 2.00/1) for this.

Check back today - I will have Remke's and Bigg's match done for you as well as the picture from my doubles trip.

Have a great Sunday!

**Regarding internet printables - Kmart has just recently began accepting printables Period, and there has been some discussion that since they have began accepting, they exclude them from Super double weeks.
