That is an awesome trip!
I always like to find out where people get soooo many of the same coupons – did she share that? I only use the internet & my 2 Sunday papers for coupons, so I’m usually only able to get a few of each deal. If you could shed some light on this, that would be great!
Way to go, Mellisa! 😉
You can buy coupons off of ebay for fairly cheap plus you get what you want instead of a whole bunch of stuff you won’t use. I’ve never done that, I just check http://www.sundaycouponpreview.com and if there are alot of good coupons I know I’ll use I buy a bunch of papers. I bought 5 papers on 4/17 when there were 4 inserts in each. I spent $5 but I’ve saved so much more then that and have “bought” a ton of free items! Plus as an added bonus some of the papers had doubled inserts 🙂 so I was thrilled 🙂
I have a subscription for 10 papers every Sunday. I made a deal with the newspaper to get each paper for .35!!
Caitlin, I can call my local newspaper, and ask for a deal for multiple Sunday papers?
Great job Mellisa!!!
Jenni, a lot of people buy extra coupons from clipping services or ebay. I have many times especially when I know I can get the item free. The little bit I pay for the coupons is so worth it! HTH! 🙂
Robin:
can you pls share who you purchase from on eBay? I dont know who to trust, & know that you would lead me in the rt direction…thanks in advance! 🙂
Hi MzWndrfl,
I just look at how much positive feedback they have and where they are located. If someone has sold xxx amount of items and have a 85% feedback I don’t buy from them. I have bought from many different sellers on ebay. HTH’s
In my city I recycle my paper in a huge paper only recycle bin, and one day I decided to nose around and I found hundreds of uncirculated free community papers that had smartsource inserts inside. So now once a week I go and collect the inserts! I just wish I could find that many redplum inserts, those coupons are usually better! I do go through recycled papers too, and I usually find around 5 whole paper inserts. No shame in my game!
It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one going through the recycle bins! 🙂
Robin:
I would like to know who you purchase from on ebay also 🙂 thanks!!!
Hi Barbara,
Please see response to MzWndrfl. Thanks!
on Ebay I would suggest reading the reviews about each seller before purchasing. I sell some coupons on Ebay and I make darn sure my feedback is 100% positive:)
I would look for a seller’s ratings to say something about fast shipping too as coupons sometimes expire fast.
Great job Melissa!!! My savings on trips are still only like 50 or 60% savings but hey better then I used to be…. You’re one of them now, lol! good job keep it up….
When I want a large amount of a certain coupon I use the site thecouponclippers dot com – they are reasonable and ship VERY fast! Love them!
I noticed recently that man.. coup’s., have fine red print on them, stateing how many of the product you can get. Is that in total or per coupon, or that many coupons for the same item? I’m confused.
