They showed dumpster diving for coupon inserts, and going door to door asking for them. Here I will tell you where to locate coupons without digging through the garbage.
1) Magazines If you subscribe to any magazines be sure to flip through them and see what coupons you can find.
Recommendation: Purchase All You Magazine monthly found in Walmart and other stores. All You Magazine is $2.49 an issue and are loaded with coupons each month. The magazine pays for itself, a million times over in my opinion, just because of the coupons , advice, recipes and more.
You can purchase a 6 month subscription for $10 or 1 year subscription for $20 ($1.66 an issue) here
Generally there are anywhere from $50 - $120 of coupons in each issue. I highly recommend this magazine.
2) Coupon inserts found in Weekend Newspapers. I suggest buying 5, depending on the number of inserts in that weekend's newspaper (Redplum, SmartSource, P&G) and the cost of the newspaper. I will post a link each week where you can preview what coupons will be included in the upcoming newspapers, and how many inserts there will be to see if it is worth for you to buy multiple inserts that week. Also to see if the coupons are on items you will buy. But if there are coupons, great coupons and say 3 inserts in the paper that weekend, you buy 5 papers that's 15 coupon inserts full of coupons. Great way to stockpile coupons quickly and build your stash.
3) Ask your family and friends. Just tell them that you are trying your hand at couponing and if they would save them for you. You will be surprised how many will save them for you.
4) Blinkies - usually they are red found in grocery aisles. They dispense coupons. If you find a coupon you will use, grab multiples. Plus you can use them at any store for they are manufacturer coupons.
5) Tear Pads- Generally found on end caps or displays. You tear off the coupon. You can also find rebates on tear pads. So pay attention when you go shopping next time. You would be surprised the amount of coupons up for grabs right there at the stores you shop at. So Look Around.
6) Join Coupon Exchange Trading Boards - I will be doing a tutorial on this, but I am trying to get one started found in discussions tab on my Facebook page. This is when you are looking for particular coupons on items you buy and trade or share with others.
7) Request coupons online from the manufacturers websites. Tutorial coming soon.
8) Requesting Free Samples. Generally they will send a coupon or coupons with the free sample
9) Peelie - Found stuck to a product that is removed to use at checkout.
10) Coupons from Coupon Clipping Services Online - Tutorial coming soon. You don't buy the coupons, the coupons are free you pay them for a service, their time finding, sorting, cutting and packaging them. I will have a tutorial on what coupons are worth getting this way. I will list only services I have used and purchased from that ship to you within 3 days, that I used when I was a Powerseller coupon clipping service on eBay. I will also be opening a store on this blog that you will be able to get them from that will only have the coupons that will get you as close to free in stores using them. It is inexpensive and a great way to score great deals on the products you buy plus you don't have to sort and clip them. They are done for you.
11) Printing Coupons- There are many places online to get printable coupons. Will have a tutorial on Internet coupons called Is it worth printing coupons, how to print them inexpensively, where to find them online. Most of you know of the big ones SmartSource, Redplum, Coupons.com, Target, Rite Aid Video Values, and more. Of course you have to find out if you store accepts printable internet coupons. Some do, some don't. Also I will tell you how to get an inexpensive printer and printer cartridges.
