In my last post about being frugal I told you to start getting your Sunday paper and saving the coupons, if you didn’t already.
Have you done it??
I’ll give you one more chance, and I’ll even tell you some other places to find those beloved coupons!
The #1 place to get coupons is you Sunday paper.
The #2 place to get coupons are friends and family, just ask…if they get the Sunday paper, I am sure they won’t mind saving the coupons for you, if they don’t use them first!
The #3 place to get coupons is from magazines, a great one is ALL YOU, which is sold only at Walmart. LOTS of coupons monthly.
The #4 place to get coupons is at stores. Sometimes different stores have beauty books, or other types of publications that come out randomly. Also the automatic ones on the shelves (Psst…take them when they are there you can use them at later dates or other stores!)
The #5 place to get coupons is on manufacturer websites, pillsbury.com, bettycrocker.com. Just print them out. (some stores don’t accept internet printed coupons, check your store policy)
These are the main places. I am sure there are many other place to get coupons.
Some stores even have it so you can load coupons right onto your grocery card.
Start seeking out coupons and USE them!!
Keep track of all your coupon savings somewhere…it ADDS up.

Girl, just call me Bargain Betty. I’m forever clipping coupons. I put them in a small plastic container that I keep in my car. I always had a habit of leaving them home, this way, they are always with me.

That’s a great idea! I always forget mine at home too.

I love using coupons, I used to freak out when I spent 200 dollars at the grocery store for 1 week of food. Now I freak out when I spend 75. I try to keep it under 50. That way we only spend 200 or less a month on food for a family of four

When I sit down with my grocery list, I go through my coupon pile. If there is something that I know I need that is brand specific, I usually google it (e.g. “Mitchum coupon”). It doesn’t always result in a coupon, but sometimes I get lucky!
