Once you

And so

So let's start with talking about #1
Inserts. Inserts can be found in your Sunday paper (sometimes weekly papers
also). There are three different inserts that come out on a regular basis:
Smart Source (SS), Red Plum (RP) and Procter & Gamble (PG). I always
suggest buying 4 papers’ so that you have multiple coupons for awesome deals
like free deodorant, razors, toothpaste, etc.
You can always to subscribe to your
local paper. Locally I tend to prefer Bristol's paper, then Knoxville's. Click
here to locate where to pick up a Bristol paper (and good luck it's not an easy
task) Bristol Paper Locater
I have read many theories into what
makes one newspaper's inserts better... Some suggest its cost of living for the
area, hence why many extreme couponers tend to order West Coast Inserts while
living on the east coast. You can also order online from various insert
companies. One I have used is

the in newspaper magazines for coupons too)
2. Printable
coupons
Printing coupons
from your home computer is safe, free and easy! The first time you print from
any source, you’ll be required to download quick and safe software so that you
can print securely from home. After the software is installed, printing coupons
is just a click away! Most only allow you to print twice per IP address. I tend
to print what it will allow me too. (You’re saving up for a big sale) Some
sites to check out are:
(Safety chick Tips: Do not ever give
a coupon you printed to a stranger or leave it behind in a store (it has YOUR
IP address on it! Also never make copies of a coupon you have printed (illegal
and punishable by the law)
3. Peelies, Catalinas, Blinkies,
Tear pads:
Catalina: They are coupons that print out at the register after your
sale is complete. It is a separate machine that is just for printing out
coupons or dollars off. Sometimes abbreviated as “CAT”, Catalina coupon machines
located at register dispense long receipt-like coupons that may be used on a
future purchase. Catalina’s, refer to the coupons themselves which may be
manufacturer or store coupons. Some Catalina coupons are advertised and some
are generated based on consumer behavior.
To find out what Catalina's or
sometimes called "Your Bucks" are in your stores/area, go here:
Blinkie: (Red Smart Source machines in a lot of
stores).Manufacturer coupons dispensed by coupon machines found in grocery
aisles next to products. Recognize them by the blinking red light. Dispenses
coupons one at a time in intervals. Manufacturer blinkie coupons may be
redeemed at any store, not necessarily the store in which you found them.
Tearpad: Coupon pads located in stores to promote products. Tear pad
manufacturer coupons may be used at any store, not just the one where you found
the coupon.
Peelie: Adhesive manufacturer coupons found on products in the
store. Peelies are often good on a wider selection of products than the one it
is stuck to. Be sure to read the fine print on the peelie to discover if the
coupon may be used on a smaller size or different variety of the same product,
to allow you to maximize savings.
4. Facebook, texts, manufactures
sites, in store promotions, rebates:
If you haven't
noticed all the manufacturer's offering special deals and coupons on Facebook,
What Rock have you been hiding under? As I stated earlier you will start to
notice coupons everywhere. We post coupons like this as soon as we spot them on
our Facebook page. Manufacture sites also have coupons to print (we post these
too). P&G has a site where you can sign up to get coupons mailed to you
every quarter, with some great deals inside.

Another great way to get high value coupons is rebates, where you send in a receipt, and you get a coupon book back. Sometimes Stores have in store promos where you can taste a product and get a coupon.
