Hi cristie,

yes i have idea.. get friendly with somebody that has newspaper store..convenience store.. find out when they close the store on saturday and sunday.. see if you can go in before they close and take out coupons..

or if not.. see where they throw them away..
i collect inserts from all different newspapers that my stores in greenwich have. Its often that some of them have different coupons... its hard to figure it out in the store so i just collect them all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

by the way i came to the thread to see how my ct ladies are doing

hopefully we can start trading when we need something.

also when i am around.. i can collect multiple inserts.. some have alot in them, some dont.
some are from ct newspapers some from ny newspapers.

but since some of us live close.. it would be nice.. if we can jump in for each other if one is traveling and wont be around.. to collect inserts..

i know i am going away july 14-17 and i am thinking already how will i get my inserts

Not that i have to shop every week.. but to have functional collection of coupons you really have to have them from every week.

I love the idea of sharing inserts for other CT couponers (especially since I'll be on my honeymoon in August and was wondering how I could get my hands on the inserts I'll be missing!). I generally get between 5-10 SS that I could trade, and would love to find someone local who could trade for the inserts on August 13 while I'm gone.

I'm in New Haven and Westport, if that helps.

I will pm you my telephone.. now the only other IF is when am i going to europe this summer.. I dont know yet.. but if i am here you can count on me getting it for you.

Question..... So I live in ri but sometimes shop in ct. I did some shopping at s&s in ct and scored some free razors. Paid no sales tax??? Here in ri we pay tax before coupons. Is ct the same way or did I hit a tax free weekend and did not realize it? I know that there was talk about a new law regarding this in april but I don't know if it went through.

in ct you pay taxes after all the coupons, so it really makes a huge difference in the bill.
no it was not some kind of tax free weekend, so if your amount was close to zero after all the coupons etc ... your tax could be zero itself.

Hey everyone, I am here in waterbury. Just starting to really get into couponing more and more. I am a mom of 2 girls, and I am in school, so any savings tips would be great. I go to stop and shop, shop rite, walmart, target, rite aid and cvs. Thanks.

Hey from Darien
Would love to join the group!
I teach a couponing class at a senior center, and I would love to hear some thoughts! I buy inserts from someone in VA and some of the matchups we us on couponmom dont match and the seniors are so confused!
If anyone knows of full inserts from ct for sale or trade LET ME KNOW!!! Thanks!

Hey do you have a link to anywhere that says that officially? I know that this is how it works in ct (awesome!) but actually had an issue with this in one store with some free lightbulbs (they were on sale for .99 and I had $1 coupons)...they insisted I had to pay not only the sales tax for the item, but the sales tax on pre sale price! Is it illegal to charge sales tax on a free item in ct?

I live in Torrington and work in Bridgeport, I shop at stop & shop, cvs, walgreens, rite aid and target! I usually shop in both cities

You can go to the Department of Revenue service on ct.gov they should have a link somewhere that confirms this. You pay tax AFTER all coupons are applied.
