Topic #1--Where can I buy/get coupons?

First things first, we can't go shopping with coupons if we don't have any, can we? So where can we buy/get them?

Coupons come in Sunday papers. You can buy them at 7-11, gas stations, Dollar Store, CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and newspaper stands. Newspapers are $2.00.

Other places you can get coupons are:

*From neighbors, family or friends - Ask people if they use their coupons. If they don't use them, just ask if it's okay if you can have them.

*Dumpster diving - I know this sounds gross, but it's actually not. It's just what we call it. Dumpster diving is just going to your nearest recycling center and asking them if it's okay that you look for coupons. They usually let you.

*Printable coupons - Websites that you can print coupons for free are at Coupons.com, Redplum.com and Smartsource.com.

*Magazines - Theres a magazine called "All You Magazine". They have $100+ worth of coupons every month.

*Peelies - You can find these one products.

If you have any questions or if you know where else to buy/get coupons, feel free to let us know. :-)

Using printable coupons--CVS

I am sorry that there won't be any coupon inserts in this and next weekends newspapers. I am pretty bummed. I wanted to help you all so you could test out the waters. We can still print off printable coupons so i'm going to post some of the deals using printable coupons.

It's always best to do seperate transactions to pay less out of pocket. Here is a breakdown that I would do for the best deals.

Transaction 1:

Depend Silhouette or Real Fit, 3 ct $3.99
Buy 1, Receive $2.00 ExtraBucks, Limit 1
Use $2.00/1 – Depend Absorbent Product – (depend.com) new sign-ups only
*Pay $1.99, Receive $2.00 ExtraBucks

After transaction 1, you will pay $1.99 out of pocket and then at the bottom of your receipt, you will get $2.00 ExtraBucks back.

Transaction 2:

Colgate Total Advanced, 5.8 OZ or Sensitive Pro-relief, 4 OZ - $3.99

Use your printable $0.75/1 printable coupon
and use your $2.00 ExtraBuck

Pay $1.24 Out of pocket, get back $3.00 ExtraBucks. (Essentially this will be a $1.76 money maker for you)

Transaction 3:

All Revlon Nail $4.99

Use your $3.00 ExtraBuck from your last transaction. Pay $1.99 out of pocket and get back $3.00 ExtraBuck. (Essentially this will be a $1.01 money maker for you)
--------------
For $12.97 worth of products, you will only be paying $5.22 out of pocket. You also have a $3.00 ExtraBuck from your last transaction, so essentially you only paid $2.00 out of pocket because you can use that $3.00 for next time. :-)

Those are the 3 transactions I recommend doing to get the best deals. If there are other products that you would rather have that I listed, I will be glad to make new transactions for you to help you guys get the best deals!
