Places to Find Coupons



I've been giving lots of ideas of how to organize coupons (more to come!), so I thought now might be a good idea to answer another question that came up during the twitter party:

Where do you find all your coupons?


*I have included some sites and stores, they are not the only sites and stores for that particular category, just ones I use often or know they fill that particular category.

1. Newspaper- a little obvious, but with all the printables, it can be a little easy to overlook. If you don't subscribe to a newspaper, try these places to get one or two or three... Also, they might be willing to give you just the ads! The answers here have been tested by other couponers!
-library, nursing home, coffee place, any breakfast place that has newspapers out (some fast food places, etc.), doctor's offices, your next door neighbor (my husband's grandmother saves hers for me), some newspaper offices have places for leftover ads, post offices (same thing), recycle places

2. Printable Coupon Websites
Good- you get to print just coupons you want, good variety, changes a lot
What to watch for- may have a limit (you may only be able to print so many or you may miss out b/c others have printed them all...sometimes the coupon will reset), some stores may not accept (though most are accepting them now...check their policy before going), need to print in color

Red Plum


3. Store Website Printable Coupons - same as above, may only be for this particular store so pay attention to type of coupon, good to use for stacking with a manufacture coupon, sometimes you have to sign up for the store newsletter in order to get the coupons, some are really just red plum or coupons.com
Target
Food Lion
Whole Foods
Bloom

4. Mobile Coupons - Give the store your cell number so they can send you coupons on your phone
Target

5. Mobile/Card Coupons- text a code to the store and they will put the coupons on your loyalty card or use a site to do the same thing, for some stores you will probably have to sign up for their e-mails to get the code, Kroger will put your coupons on the card from their site

Food Lion
Kroger
Bloom

6. Manufacture Websites- Get it straight from the horse's mouth :) Sometimes you have to sign up for a newsletter, they change so print while you are there, can be a good value
P&G
Pampers
Marcal

7. Military Coupon Sites
Military Lifestyle Coupons
Maxi Saver Coupons
Smart Source Military Coupons

8. In stores
Look around! You can find lots of coupons on the items, next to the price, on the shelves, in the little coupon machines in front of the items....Keep your eyes open! Take a sales flyer when you come in the door! At CVS, use your card to check their coupon machine.

9. On/with your receipt
Check all that stuff that prints out with your receipt and check the back of your reciept. Lots of good coupons come with that because lots of times it's based on what you have bought and lots of times they are instore coupons so they are stackable!

10. Facebook- become a fan (or "like") your favorite brands. Check out their page or wait for them to tell you when a coupon is available!
Oreo
Tide

11. Magazines - I haven't seen a magazine with more coupons than All You has great coupons and good value ones! Look through your favorite magazine, you'd be surprised to see coupons hiding among the ads!

12. On the product- When you get them home and open, look inside the box and make sure you don't miss any coupons! I find coupons for muffins, tea, and cereal right inside their boxes.

You tell me...what did I miss? Where do you find your coupons?
