I have noticed that several of you have mentioned that you have many coupons on certain items. Can you tell me how you are getting so many? I am fairly new to this and would like to know how to acquire multiple coupons for items. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have my local Sunday paper delivered to my house, and I buy a Tulsa world also on Sunday. Also, I have 3 people who save their newpaper q's for me. I have 2 computers at home that I use to print coupons (2 of each q per computer, usually). I sign up for free samples; most of them come with coupons. And, I save all coupons from packages etc. And, I buy a few copies of the All You Magazine if I like the coupons.

I have wanted to start trading for coupons but I am not sure how to get started, or exactly how that works. This is a good question, thanks for asking!

I usually get 2 papers each week if the coupons are good.. If they are awesome and there are a ton I will use then I will get one more.. I also get the All You magazine.. I have ordered off of ebay a couple of times.. I got 20 of the Purina One $3/1 catfood coupons for $1.75.. I am also a member of another site where that is pretty small and we will all just send out random envies to eachother with stuff the other person is wanting..

random envies of coupons!! oooh, exciting!

I scour through my neighbors recycle bins. Shameful, I know but it is profitable. The neighbors I am friends with used to give her leftover coupons but I took her to HL on Sat. and showed her how much I got with "all those coupons". I think she will be keeping her coupons from now on. FYI, some stores sell the Sunday paper cheaper on Mondays if they have any left.

Ebay is a great place if you want to buy Q's.

Hi Brpoor,
I also get the Sunday Tulsa World and my carrier gives me 6 extra inserts each week. Then on Wed I get anywhere from 50-100 when they pick up the ones that don't sell.
You can buy Q's from E-bay or off this site. I like these best because you get what you want and how many you want. Just go to Coupons tap at the top and scroll down to Coupon Clippers, Coupon Master or Coupons & Things by Dede. ALL 3 are great and fast shipping. Hope this helps

[brpoor]

Is it better to buy coupons from the clipper sites/ebay, or trade? And how in the world did you get such a sweet deal with your carrier???? That is impressive. I admit, I am jealous.

OMG, best laugh of the day .

I buy one newspaper a week..only because we never seem to get the really good coupons that I want. I have another site that I trade on regularly. I have been a member there for several years and have a few people that I get multiples of only the coupons I want each week. What I like is, unlike ebay, I can get only 3 or 4 of each coupon, or I can get 20 if I want. Sometimes, I need need 20 of one coupon like they are normally sold on ebay. On this same site, we have secret exchanges where someone is your "pal"...normally for 6 weeks. You have your wishlist posted and you get at least one envie of coupons every week, but most times you get more than that because you can have helpers send envies too. This is where I get most of my Non insert coupons. I love the exchanges. And I of course use smartsource, coupons.com and redplum.com for printables and I have several blogs that I read daily that post about IP's or coupons that you can ask for in the mail. There are so many websites that you can get information from...I used to have more, but I had to narrow them down to my favorites.
You can also trade here on AFC...I have recently made quite a few trades here. Just go to the FSOT forum. Just jump right in and PM someone is you see something you are interested in. Most people trade for paypal, concealed cash, stamps, or other coupons from their wishlist.

I love trading! and I love getting coupons that I have never seen before in my exchanges

I purchase 2 early edition sunday oklahomans on saturdays

[minahsmom]

I usually buy about 3-4 papers/week depending on how good the sales & coupons are. In my area, Menards and the Dollar Tree sell the Sunday papers (Chgo Trib) on Saturday for $1. If there is a specific coupon I need, I will get them from the coupon clippers or Ebay.

Just FYI, if the coupon is a hot one, Ebay may not be the best source to get it b/c for some reason, the prices get overinflated and defeats the purpose of getting the coupon.

I just made my first purchase of coupons from Collectable Coupons.com! I was going to order off ebay, but could not find someone who had all the ones i wanted! So Itried this and for under $10 I got 79 coupons. Dont know if that is a good deal or not but was way cheaper then I would have spent on Ebay and it looks the handling and such was better than most of the other sites as well!

I usually by 3-4 paper each Sunday and will still continue to do this but it was better for me to order the ones I wanted this way. For what i spent it would have been only 5 papers. I ordered 6 of a couple of coupons and everything else was 10 +.

HTH
Have a wonderful day!!
