The best place to get coupons is the Sunday Newspaper. The Dallas Morning News (DMN) now costs $3 – that $3 will save you a LOT! You can also buy a double pack of newspapers bundled together for $5 – save 50¢ per paper and you get twice as many coupons! I usually buy 2-4 newspapers per week in order to have multiples of coupons. If I need more copies I can always order them from a clipping site for a small handling fee or trade for them on a coupon trading site.
Coupons are everywhere if you start looking for them. Here are all the varieties of coupons and where to find them:
Inserts: Coupons found in your Sunday newspaper in the section with the store weekly ads
Be sure to check out the Sunday Coupon Preview each week to see which coupons will be in the paper.
Blinkies: Pull these coupons from the “blinking” machines at the grocery store
Peelies: Coupons that are stuck to the actual product
Tearpads: Pads of coupons typically found on special displays at the store, tear off one or two or three…
Winetags: Coupons that hang on the neck of a bottle of wine, they may or may not require a purchase of wine to use the coupon
Home Mailers: Coupons that are sent directly to your mailbox
Internet Printables (IPs): Coupons that are printed from the internet – not all stores accept these
You can also find coupons in magazines. All You is a magazine sold only at Walmart and it almost always has great coupons in it.

Can u.use more than one coupon on one ideam?
It is a limit of one manufacturer's coupon per item purchased.
Very excited about saving money with my husband being out of work right now
As I'm learning about couponing and reading up on ideas as to how I can obtain coupons, I made a visit to my local post office to find out what they do with all the extra circulars as we get redplum via mail every week. They informed me that the circulars come on Wednesday and they issue them on Thursdays. They said they cannot hold them for anyone, but that I was able to take as many as I wanted as people that had post office boxes would just throw them away. Yes, that means taking them from the trash bin, but since most people are only in the post office for 2-5 minutes it's just mail in the bins. So if you don't mind taking some off the top of the bin it's a great source for circulars.
I bought a year's subscription for the Seattle Times Sunday paper for $30 on Groupon. I don't know if it's a common thing but it's definately worth looking into, it was such a good deal.
Hi I'm trying to become a coupon shopper but I don't know what stores to go to and what sites to start from I live in Chicago and it seem like it's a lot of stores they don't take coupons so can somebody please help me:-(....
thank you
is there any way for me to buy the dallas paper i dont live there but would like to have that paper
As an additional source to get coupons, besides dumpster diving, you can try two things that worked for me. One I went to a local apartment complex and left a manila envelope for unwanted coupons. I ran into a few people while I was setting them up and asked people if they could please put their unwanted coupon inserts in the envelop on sundays, its actually worked quite well, just make sure you check with the renting office too. Also the majority of CVS and Rite Aid stores, possibly some other small drug stores, just buy packages of the papers and any they don't sell by the end of the day they toss. So if you can talk to the manager they may be willing to hold on to any leftovers for you, or sell them for a nominal fee as opposed to the full sunday paper price.
I was recently at the local Dollar Store and was shocked to see that they had the Sunday newspaper for $1. The coupons that I used from it saved me $34.
Hi,
Im fairly new to couponing, but so far love it. I have a question, I watch extreme couponing and often see people buying like 200 of the same item. Where do the people get the 200 coupons? I would like to start saving like thembut of course cannot afford to but 200 newspapers. Please advise.
Thanks so much,
Marci
man oh man, i am only 16, and i just started couponing. I have noticed it is harder then it looks. But this sunday i went and bought 3 newspapers and cut out all the coupons i know i would use and coupons as back ups. But my problem is finding the sales that are going on and the grocerie prices at my grocerie stores. I am also pregnant and my dad is always gone because of the military sending him away. Plus i am new to this area and dont have access to a car cause we only have one. I do need major help. and i am needing this fast because i am getting frusterated. i would love some help. and everytime i try a new website, it doesnt work cause you have to install, or sign up. Please redirect me
Unfortunately, most coupon sites are going to require you to sign up or install something. :/ If you're store isn't covered here on couponing 101, you might want to learn how to find sales and do coupon matchups yourself: https://www.couponing101.com/2010/04/teach-a-woman-how-to-fish-for-grocery-store-deals.html
