Places to get coupons??

Have gotten a couple of messages asking me where to get coupons. 


First off, it is illegal to "buy" coupons.  However, it is NOT illegal to pay someone for their time to cut, sort, gather, and clip coupons for you. 


I "sell" potluck envelopes of coupons myself and I am charging you for the postage, the envie to put them in and the time I sit and clip and sort them.


I "purchase" mine from an individual I met on A Full Cup you can go on there and click on the FSOT (for sale or trade) forum and click on "Full inserts".  There you can always find someone to get the full inserts from.


There are also places online that "sell" coupons.  I have personally used the following 2 and have been very pleased with their service!  (There are others that I'm sure are just as good, but I don't have personal dealings with them, therefore don't feel as though I can honestly endorse them)


The Coupon Clippers was the first one I ever used.  I used them for a long time.  Then I started using Coupons and Things by Dede and was very pleased with her service as well.  I will say that I prefer Coupons and Things because she sells full inserts and her individual coupon prices tend to be lower (though it's only by a cent or two , because individual coupons aren't costly anyway)  Shipping is the same at either place.


I truly think once you get "into" the savings and the things you can get for free (though this last week or two isn't a good example of the awesome deals out there, because the awesome deals tend to cycle.. so in a few more weeks should be some AMAZING deals) you'll be more apt to want to continue to invest a little time in this.


My biggest suggestion to those with kids that wonder how they can spare anytime away from their kids to do this is to get them to help you!  Kids love to cut and sort and things like that.  Make it family fun time! 


Put in the effort and you will be rewarded!


As always if you want to learn in a bit more detail all of the different stores (I simply post the scenarios to the ones I use) then please please please check out A Full Cup.  I am not an owner, moderator or anything like that.  Just a die-hard fan!


Till next time...
