Questions About Coupons

I had a few replies wanting to know about coupons. The first question I will answer is where I get all my coupons. There are many places that you can coupons. The first thing you want to do, so that you don't overwhelm yourself, is get the Sunday newspaper. Every week, the newspaper has different types of inserts that come in them with coupons. The only weeks you won't get inserts are the holiday weekends, like labor day. I didn't get any coupons this last weekend :(. I will be ok though, don't worry.

The inserts that generally come in the paper are; Smartsource (SS), Redplum (RP), Proctar & Gamble (P&G) and sometimes we have special ones that come out like General Mills. The P&G only comes out once a month and it's my favorite insert. With that insert, I have gotten many free and cheap razors, shampoo and conditioner and laundry detergent. We go through a lot of all of those items. The SS and RP generally come out every week and they have great coupons as well. The best Sunday paper to get in this area is the Kansas City Star. They have way better coupons than the Joplin Globe, because they are a bigger region. You can get the KC Star at Dollar Tree in Carthage, or at any Walmart, and Walgreen. I highly recommend getting the KC Star.

There are many other ways that you can get coupons as well. Here are some websites that are safe and that you can check out:

http://www.smartsource.com/
http://www.redplum.com/

You can also email or send letters to many companies and they will mail you coupons. For instance, I really like Luv Diapers. I've used them for all my kids. I wrote an email to the company thanking them for a good product and a great price. They mailed me coupons for $2.00 off one package of luvs diapers. They sent me 2 of those. I was extremely excited about that.

One last thing you can do to get coupons is if you checked out and joined the blogs I told you about from the last blog, is they constantly update where you can get free samples. When you fill out that information for those free samples, they generally send a coupon with the sample. I definitely don't want to overwhelm with too much information, so I will stop here and save some more for the next blog.

I love all the questions, so ask away, and I will do my best to answer them all!
