Back to Basics – Basic Couponing

Every now and then we get an email or two asking fairly basic and simple questions. So I thought I would put up a Back to Basics post every now and then to help with the details of this new way of couponing. You can read this in its entirety on the top of our site under the link of COUPON 101.

Where to find coupons:

Blinkies– These are the little black boxes with the red blinking light that spits out coupons. You can find these little units on the selves in some stores, like Albertsons and WalGreens to name a few. Go ahead and take a few and save them for your coupon stash. But only take a few, remember to play nice and leave some for the next coupon hunter.

Ask around– you would be surprised how many people just throw them away. I have 2 very sweet little old ladies that share their papers with me every week. My husbands work gets Sunday papers. And they just toss them come Monday morning. So he grabs the inserts for me. Once your friends, family, co-works and neighbors know you like coupons they are normally happy to help save them for you.
