Let’s not forget about double and triple coupons as well! I’m new to the site so I’m sure there is plenty to be said about that, but I know I’ve saved a ton that way.

Jon,
Please do not copy or scan any coupon you either get from a paper or the internet. When coupons are copied, scanned or reproduced in any way it is considered fraud even if they are printed from the computer. I know you would not do so knowingly. You can print online coupons multiple times if the sites allow. Just press your back button or go back into the website and print more. Usually the limit is two though.
Happy Shopping-
Shauntell

Hi Ladies,
This is a late post since i am new to coupons.
Go to your news rack on sunday and by all the papers you need. Don’t drop in one coin and grab 10 papers. I used to have a company that sold these single copies and lost a lot of Sundays because of this.
This is cheaper than a ful subscription.
I also scan my e-coupons and keep the original copy if i need more.
This fun

Hmmm, my paper had only one insert this last week, not five. This has happened a lot lately. I’m getting a tad suspicious. I have had a couple weeks with no inserts and they weren’t holiday weeks either. Next time I will call and ask about it if it happens again. Very frustrating! Thanks for your help!

That is 8 dear children + 2 parents = 10 of us:)
I think I might try your idea of starting with fewer and work my way up if/as needed. I really look forward to learning more of your system:) thanks so much

Ellie,
You totally can use them at the same time. If you have 5 coupons and they say something like 50 cents of 1 of this or that. And if they are something your family uses get 5 items and use all 5 coupons! Its awesome. I never knew you could do that either. You can even buy them all at the same time.
Good luck and great question!

When you have 5 coupons for the same item, can you use them all at the same time? It’s totally not worth it to me if I have to go back to the store 5 times!

Natalie,
If you have a family of 8 then you only need to get 8 papers. Yes, I beleive it is worth it. I’ve tried it with less and what happened was we were using things faster then we could replace them because we did not buy enough in the first place. Because I use so many coupons while shopping, last week alone I saved over $124! I average that amount each month, that is a $496 saving per month! If you are skeptical start with what you have and expiriment on how many papers gets you enough.

PS BEFORE you get the paper make sure they actually do have coupons on Sunday! Call the paper and ask them what brands and the deliver schedule of those coupon packets.

Katie,
If you don’;t have your inserts please call the paper and ask them why the are missing. Let me just tell you this to keep in mind before you call. Red Plum and Smart Source are weekly publications and Proctor & Gamble is monthly. ALSO on holiday weekends there will not be any Red Plum or Smart Source. You have to keep an eye on the paper AFTER a holiday because they usually put two or more in. Since I know where you live this past Sunday’s paper actually had 5 different booklets.
