Coupons without Newspapers

[annagirl]

Hello all!

I'm looking for a good source or 10 for coupons without getting the local paper. First, getting the newspaper is an expense I don't want to have and second, I think it's a terrible waste of paper and environmentally unfriendly, so we stopped getting a paper nearly 2 years ago.

But I would still like coupons. Suggestions???

This has some ideas, some strange, some doable: http://www.thethriftymama.com/2009/01/are-you-really-saving-money-buying-coupons.html

Our Walmart will no longer take printed coupons. Target was thinking about it, but have just limited it to one coupon per item.

Have you tried looking for them at your local library? All of the libraries in my hometown have a plastic bin that you can go though. You can leave the ones you don't want and take the ones you can use. I go there once a week and always come home with a handful!
Don't forget you can print them from the internet.
And there are sites that will load them to your shoppers club grocery store card , with no printing involved, just like upromise does.

Ask friends and neighbors who get the paper. In my old neighborhood the neighbors would leave the coupons on their porch for me after they went through them. I would usually take a walk and pick them up on either a sunday or monday evening. Now I just visit my local library. My mom gives me her coupons I take what I want and put the rest in the box at the library. If your library does not do this maybe you could suggest it. Also, if you work ask co workers for their left over coupons.

The ones I want multiples of to stock up on things, I buy extras either on Ebay or through a clipping service. Here are some of the clipping services I have used in the past (hot coupons get gone fast)

Send me a PM. It is illegal to sell coupons but I have a friend who is set up to do coupons in exchange for a donation to the American Cancer Society if you're interested. You tell her exactly what you want and get them.
