| Coupon Insert Heaven
When I first started collecting coupons back in September I immediately thought of my Dad in Denver Colorado and I remembered he gets the Sunday paper every Sunday and throws the coupons away every Sunday. YIKES So I asked him if he would start collecting them for me and then send them to me when he gets a chance. It took a few Sundays for him to finally remember (pretty much until he saw my triples trip to HT). He sent me some coupons a few weeks ago and that was so exciting. But today he sent us a Christmas package and it had a stack of inserts in it. He had been collecting since the last time he sent them. YAY! ![]() Sorry pointless post to you all but I had to share my excitement!

Good for you! Not a pointless post at all, it's always nice to read about someone hitting the coupon jackpot! Hey...have you heard about triples at HT 1/1-1/4??

Not going to lie, I was more excited about the coupons then the christmas money that was in the box for my Husband and I.

| I did!! I'm so excited! The last triple event I was still in my beginning stages of getting a coupon collection so I wasn't able to get a whole lot. Now this time I should do much better. Plus I know triples will go a lot smoother than the K-mart doubles did. whew

I know the feeling! I won a contest recently which was $50 paypal and I just ordered myself a purty 4" ring zipper binder called a Case-It. I blew a hole in the side of my old binder at the zipper. Went to another one and blew a hole in it and now I'm using two binders for my coupons and it's annoying me to no end. I'm more giddy over getting the new and bigger binder than anything because I'll be able to put all my coupons into one binder again and still have room to expand. |

I do exactly the same thing! My dad works in the oil field, so he works in other states that get a lot better inserts than we do, plus he's a newspaper fanatic (he buys tons of different ones). I told him to save the inserts for me from every Sunday paper he buys, and every two weeks when he's home from work I go over there and get them!

I get excited too when my friend and I swap coupons because she goes through her mom's newspapers for recycling and pulls out tons of inserts that her mom never looks at.

I've also noticed that my next door neighbor, who is a really old lady, gets the Sunday paper and I'm so tempted to ask her if she uses her coupons. My Husband told me I'm crazy.

Oh no you should ask the little old lady about her coupons. OMG I can't imagine all the good coupons she might be throwing away that you can use. Maybe if she gives them to you, you can one in a while give her a little gift that you got from her coupons, i.e. hand cream. Tell your husband you are NOT crazy because saving money is your new found hobby. I doubt he will ever say anything to you after you say that to him.

I got two copies of SS, a copy of RP, and 2 copies of P&G from FIL, a newspaper fanatic who used to work as reporter. I also asked the neighbors live next to my parents in law in the retirement community for the inserts. They live 5 minutes away from us, so we just pick them up Sun or Mon. Though DH thinks I am crazy, that's how I got multiple copies for Free. DH sometime picked up a few copies of inserts that lying around his office, but I wished he would do that more consistently. :-) |

Aww that's sweet of him! I work in a grocery store and I'm always tempted to ask the customers on Sunday mornings if they are looking to get rid of all the inserts in their papers |
