Where do you get all those coupons?

I get this one a lot. There are so many places to get coupons but you do have to be careful. There are counterfeit coupons and spoof sites on the internet that attack your computer with viruses. So to protect yourself you need updated virus software on your computer and common sense to know that if the coupon is to good to be true, it probably is.

Here are a list of places to get coupons. Both paper and electronic.

Paper Coupons

• Sunday paper- but the weekly paper sometimes has coupons for local stores and activities
• Store- a lot of stores have booklets that have coupons in the back. I pick up any ad in the grocery store and the drug store
• Company- if there is a product that you love contact the company. Most of the time they have coupons they can send you.
• Product Panels- Some companies have panels you can join to try their new products. Jergins sent me a full size bottle of lotion and 5 coupons. Ex. First Taste and Pssst
  
• Magazines- I have noticed that several magazines have coupons in them now. All You normally has lots and really good ones.
• Receipts- some stores have coupons on the back of the receipt or print out with it.
  

Internet Coupons

• Coupon sites- there are several sites just for coupons.
  
• Company site- most companies have coupons for their products on their site. If they don't email them and see if they have any.
• Store site- several store sites have coupons that can be used with a manufacturers coupon. Ex. Target and Walgreen
• Email- Join sites. You will probably need an email address just for this but you do get coupons this way.
  
• Search engine- if there is something on sale and I don't have a coupon I type it in the search engine to see if there are any out there. BE CAREFUL I have been lucky (knock on wood) so far but remember if the coupon is to good to be true it probably is and make sure your virus protection is up to date. But this is a way to find coupons you may have missed and make a good deal better.
• Download coupons- there are a great way to triple your coupon. These coupons can be used with a store coupon and a manufacture coupons. You go to the site and download them to your store card. Ex. Kroger and Cellfire

Don't forget to ask friends and family. No one else in my family coupons so when they get them in the mail they send them to me.

Protect yourself- passing off a counterfeit coupon is a punishable offense with a fine and possible jail time. Several people have been prosecuted for selling illegal coupons on Ebay and other sites. So don't pay for anything the company gives away for free.
