Do you have friends/family save the coupon inserts for you? If you get multiple copies of the Sunday paper to get multiple coupons, where do you get the second copy? I've seen the Sunday paper available at Dollar Stores on Mondays, too. Where do you get your second set of inserts?

Well, I work at a retirement home. The ladies put their papers in the recycling bin at the end of the day, and I grab all the inserts if I work that day. If I don't my mom will grab some for me, but only one or two. I dig through the whole box. Of course, they don't always put them in there before I am done with my shift, so sometimes I only get one or 2 sets. I hit the jackpot last time and got at leat 4. I am quitting though, so it is all up to my mom now.

I get at least three sets with no effort. We subscribe to a local daily paper (I can't live without my paper) so I get one there. We also get a free daily paper delivered (whether we want it or not) and another set comes in there. I live outside of a major city but don't subscribe to that paper, but once a week we get all the ads from their paper in our driveway. Our local paper doesn the same thing with their ads (for non-subscribers) but sometimes if there is someone new delivering them we get that one, too.

My mom gives me her insert from their Saturday paper - it's not as many but it helps.

I just buy two papers. the only cost .50 each. I am going to have my mil start clipping coupons for me. She is out of state, but I figure if she can mail them to me every two weeks, than I will still get them long before they expire.

If there are coupons I know I will use in the Sunday paper than I go to a nearby drugstore on Monday when the Sunday paper is 1/2 off. Once in awhile my grandma saves for me as well.

to really make good use of all your coupons and knowing that you can pick up even more, join one our trains here at MS!
