What is Couponing and where can I find Coupons?

With the economy going bad a few years ago, the term couponing became a very familiar term. Couponing is simply using the advantage of a paper that says "save xx cents on xx product" as a way to lower your grocery bill.


Coupons can be found for a number of items, most often though they are used for groceries.

Where can coupons be found?

~Newspaper-- on sunday's check your paper for coupons but keep in mind that the week of a holiday there will be no coupon inserts in the sunday paper.

~Friends and Relatives whom don't use their coupons from the sunday paper is a great way to build your coupon stash

~Online-- there are a number of sites that you can print your coupons from. I most often use http://www.coupon.com/ but you can google and find a number of sites.

~By using a Coupon Clipping Service-- I do not take advantage of these, however you can pay a fee for the coupons to be pre clipped and sent to you.

~In Store-- in the store you will find blinkies, peelies, tearpads, and store coupons. Please see the post on terminology to find out more about each of these types of coupons.

In an effort to keep these entries short and sweet, I will end this now and my next entry will be a nice one for most of you. It will help with organization of your coupons.

Have a great day!!!
