Newspaper Inserts
Magazines
Supermarket Blinkies
Printable Internet Coupons
Peelies
Tear Pads
Mail
Recycling Bins
Brochures
Friends and Families
Manufactures
Inside Packages
Ebay
Clipping Services

Facebook
Newspaper inserts are the one that come in the paper on Sundays. These inserts are called Smart Source and Red Plum and once a month there is one that is called Proctor & Gamble. Sometimes it is best to get a bigger city if you live in a small town like I do. Now my local paper does not print a paper on the weekends so I pick up the Friday paper and it has the coupons in it and it is only the Smart Source insert. Not only do I get my local paper I pick up the Raleigh News Observer on Sunday. I have subscribed to the News Observer for Sunday only delivery to my house. So you might want to see if your paper does a Sunday only delivery.
Magazine also have coupons in them as well. One magazine is know for their coupons and it is All You. You can pick it up Walmart or subscribe to it. Other magazines will have coupons in them just not as much. So if you get a parenting magazine you are going to get baby coupons. Fitness magazines will have sports drinks and protein bar coupons. So it will depend on what type of magazine you get to what coupons that you will get.
Supermarket Blinkies are those coupons that you find on the grocery store aisle in those little machines. They will be with the product is for. You can take a couple of them you can either use them in the store you found them or another store. I always try to get me two of them when I see them to use then or later or to send to a friend I know that uses that product.
Printable Internet Coupons are the coupons that you print from the Internet. Coupons.com is the most popular one to use but Smart Source and Red Plum both have a site that you can print from. Now if you have a rewards site that you use see if you can print from them. Swagbucks lets you print coupons that are from Coupons.com and when you redeem those coupons you get 10 Swagbucks into your account. Several other reward sites do the same thing such as Mypoints, Inbox Dollars, and Send Earnings. Now you are limited to two printings of each coupon per computer. Now also some stores have there own printable coupons that you can use at their stores. Rite Aid is one of them they have Video Value coupons that when watch a short video you get a coupon for that item to use at Rite Aid.
Peelies are coupons that you find on a product that you peel off to use at the register. So when you are in the grocery store look for product that have these on them. Now you should not pull a peelie off a product that you did not purchase it is not fair to the person who buys it after you took the coupon off of the product.
Tear Pads are those pads that you find in the stores on the shelves in front of the products or on displays. It is fine to take two coupons from the pads. You can use them in the store you find or another store. You can also pass them on to a friend who would also use that product. It is not consider nice to take all of the coupons from a pad.
You can get coupons in the mail. I usually get these little fliers in the mail about local restraunts and other businesses. Sometimes they have coupons for products mixed in them. Also save those restraunt coupons to use when you go out to eat sometimes they are buy one get one free items in those coupons.
Recycling Bins are another source for coupons. If your community offer recycling check with your local recycling center to see if you can pick through the bin to get the coupons out. Or if your community is like mine that have curbside recycling on pick up day walk your neighborhood and pull the coupons out your neighbor bins. Make sure to bring a bag with you to pick them up and bring them home in.
Brochures in you stores can have coupons in them also. Some grocery stores will have a booklet at the front of the store that will have coupons in them for you to use in the store. Drugstores will also have these brochures in them but some of them will be for a specific topic and those coupons will be geared to those items. So if you pick up a Diabetes booklet it will have coupons that are for products that are geared to people with diabetes.
Friends and family are another great source. Ask them to save you their coupon inserts if they do not use them. If they do use them ask them can they give you the ones that they are not going to use. If you have group of friend who can use coupons you can share coupons you are not going to use with each other. Even if you have a pen pal or family members who do not live near you ask them to send their coupons to you as well.
Manufacturers are another great source for coupons. If you go to their web sites they might have coupons for you print off to use on their products. You can also send them a message asking for coupons. You can also mail them saying how you like their product and sometimes they will send you a coupon. Also if you have a complaint about their product let them know sometimes they will send you a free product coupon to replace it.
You can find coupons inside of packages as well. Sometimes when you a product it will say if it has coupons in it for you to use next time. Some of coupons will be printed right on the box on the inside or enclosed in a plastic wrapper. I have brought items that do not say that there is a coupon inside but find one anyway. So it is best to check every package you buy including cans since there can be a coupon on the inside of the label.
EBay is another great way to get coupons. There is sellers on EBay who sell coupons to you for a small fee for their time and shipping. You can get a potluck, which is a mix of coupons; a whole insert of coupons or coupons for a specific product.
Clipping Services are services that clip the coupons for you for a small fee. Most time that fee is 10% of the face value of the coupon so a $1.00 coupons is for $0.10. Most sites have minimum order amount. I use The Coupon Masters for my coupons. The require a $3.00 minimum order and you have to order at least 3 of each coupon. There is also an administration and shipping fee as well. There are several other clipping service sites online so find one that you like to use.
Hang Tags are another source of coupons. These are usually found on bottles of drinks, wines, and condiments. You should not remove these as well as peelies unless you are buying the product. Wines have lots of hang tags and those are usually for other items that are not wine like meats, milk, produce and other items in the store.
Facebook has now became a great source of coupons. Most companies now have a Facebook page and when you like them they allow you to print out coupons for their products. Sometimes these coupons are short lived or for so many prints and then they take it down. They are always adding new coupons or offering special offers for their products so check them.
I hope that these items will help you find more coupons out there to use in your everyday life. There is usually a coupon for everything these days and finding them takes the know how of finding them to use.
