Where do I get coupons?!

As I see it, there are 2 main sources of coupons: newspaper inserts and the internet.

Newspaper Inserts
There are 3 main coupon inserts that come in the Sunday newspaper:

Redplum (RP)
Proctor and Gamble (PG)
SmartSource (SS)

Obviously, these all have websites as well. You can usually get on the websites and print off coupons that can be different or the same as the ones printed in the newspaper.

How do you get the Sunday paper? Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is to subscribe. Many newspapers (including the Columbus Dispatch) offer Sunday-only subscriptions so you can have it delivered right to your front door! (Or, in our case, to the parking lot outside of our apartment complex or somewhere in the grass... but that's a story for another time!) Most stores and gas stations also sell Sunday newspapers for under $2. I usually stop at the gas station on Sundays and grab a second newspaper, especially if there are great coupons! (Tip: instead of just picking up the newspaper at the top of the stack, I look through several papers. Sometimes you can find one that has multiple copies of the same insert!)

Internet
Oh, the internet. With all of the information floating around out there, I'm sure that there are thousands of websites that you can use to look at and/or print coupons. Printing coupons from your home computer is quick and safe. You may have to install to install the coupon printer application, but it will only happen once per website. There are 4 websites that I frequent that have helped me save a lot of money (and, just as importantly, time)!

Coupons.com is a website that allows you to view and print pages and pages of coupons. It is a great source of coupons for cereal and other food staples. Currently, there is over $400 in savings available to print. You can usually print 2 of the same coupons per computer.

CouponMom is a handy little website that lays out the best coupon deals for you! It shows current deals (by store and by state) what current coupons match up with those sales, allowing for maximum savings! This site has saved me a bunch of time. Instead of studying each individual store's weekly ad and sifting through my coupon caddy, I just go to this website and see what the best deals are. (Tip: after you create your [free] account, click on "How to Coupon" to learn how the website works!)

The Krazy Coupon Lady is a great site that has tons of information! It has links to help for beginners, but my two favorite parts are the Extreme Couponing link (which shows super deals) and the Brag Lounge, which never fails to inspire me. The Brag Lounge also frequently shows deals that I would have otherwise missed.

Kroger Krazy is a website dedicated to showing you how to save the most money at (you guessed it!) Kroger! This website is amazing. It allowed me to buy 15 packs of Pampers baby wipes for less than $1!
