Too many people forget to actually go to the store and buy a Sunday paper. Here we have 2 choices, Shreveport Times and The Daily Sentinel. I buy both. I buy at least 2 copies of each. Why buy 2? Well if there happens to be a sale on something in there and I want more than 1 I will need multiple coupons! Always ALWAYS be sure to look and make sure your inserts are in there. I will try to post a "coupon schedule" soon. It will be on the side and list the dates, how many, and which inserts will be in the paper. It will not be a set in stone schedule but approximate. I will try to post weekly exactly what inserts will be there. They don't change them often, but they do change. There are almost never coupons following a Holiday. P & G have been sneaking theirs in on those week-ends. It never hurts to drive to the store, pick up a paper, flip through it to check and see if there are any.
Buying coupons online.
Technically you can't BUY coupons. You can buy someones time to find, clip, and sort coupons. Each coupon states can't be sold, copied, etc. So by buying a persons "time" you aren't actually buying the coupon. The main place I buy coupons is Ebay. I do occasionally order from a clipping service, but not often. The key to buying coupons is don't pay more for the coupon than it will save you. Typically I will pay up to .05 - .10 per coupon depending on what it is and how good of a coupon it is. You won't save any money if you order a .50 cent coupon and pay .50 cents for it. I don't want to offend anyone but it's a common sense thing. Most people sell in multiples. I typically pay $1.00 - 2.00 for 20 coupons. I will pay more if it's a super hot coupon and I can get a great item for free or even get overage (I'll explain that later) but that doesn't happen often. Just be smart and sensible when buying online and don't forget to include shipping and handling!
Please if you have any questions feel free to ask!
Until next time: HAPPY COUPONING
