If you are new to the wonderful world of couponing, chances are you’re wondering where to find them! In order to see the full benefit of using coupons, you must have a variety and a healthy supply to maximize your savings.
You can start collecting coupons by knowing where to find them. Here are the 3 best places to start:
1. The Sunday Paper: Each week, there are coupon inserts included in the Sunday paper. If you are not a subscriber, it is worth a trip to the store to pick one up. Often, the inserts include hundreds of dollars worth of savings. The cost of the paper is more than absorbed by utilizing those coupons. If you are wondering what coupons to expect each week, be sure to check out my weekly coupon preview every Saturday.
2. Online: The internet is a fantastic resource for free printable coupons, if you know where to look. I have compiled a list of my favorite online coupon resources on my site, Keeping the Kingdom First. All you need is a good printer, some paper and plenty of ink and you are on your way!
3. Your Mailbox: I often receive coupons in my mailbox that I have requested online. Many store and manufacturer websites have mailing lists that are worth signing up for. For example, all major diaper manufacturers regularly send out coupons to those registered through their website. Many money-saving blogs, including my own, will post offers for free coupon booklets by mail.
Once you have a good supply of coupons, you are ready to put them to good use! I will be sharing lots of ways to use coupons effectively right here on Lifetime Moms. If you need an easy way to organize your coupons, I recommend The Couponizer.
