Now that I am couponing and seeing some pretty awesome savings from it (50%-85%), the question I get asked most often is: where can I get coupons?
Here are my favorite places to get coupons:
Sunday Paper
Your Sunday paper is still the #1 source of coupons. In it you will find not only coupon inserts, but all of the weekly circulars for sales at your major retailers and drugstores, many of which include their own coupons which can be stacked with manufacturer coupons.
Local Paper
Don’t overlook your local town paper if you have one. My town has a small weekly newspaper that is free and includes all of the major coupon inserts. This paper is a goldmine of coupons!
Coupon Clipping Services
If you don’t have the time to clip coupons or want to supplement your coupon inventory, coupon clipping services may be a good alternative for you. Coupon clipping services carry a large inventory of print coupons you would find in the coupon inserts in your Sunday paper. They offer them to you for a small clipping service fee per coupon ordered and will ship them to you quickly in time to use during the current sales cycle. Some of the more popular services are:
Online Printable Coupons
You can also print free coupons online from the following sites. You will need to download their software before printing coupons but these are reputable sites and their software is safe.
Only print coupons you will definitely use and to save on ink print in black and white.
Retailers
Large retail stores will often offer their own coupons which can be stacked with manufacturer coupons. These coupons can be found in their weekly circulars and also on their websites. Some store offering coupons are Target, Walgreens, CVS and Safeway, to name just a few. Always check the stores coupon policy before using coupons.
Manufacturers
Companies will often offer coupons directly to consumers for signing up for their newsletter, liking them on Facebook or following them on Twitter. If you have a favorite brand, check out their website and like them on Facebook to get the inside track on saving opportunities.

This is a great resource. I don’t use coupons enough because of the hassle, but may have to consider it now that I don’t have an excuse. I don’t get the paper, but there are still online options as you pointed out. Thanks!
