Where to Find Coupons

There are several places that I find my coupons.
1. Sunday Paper-This is where I get most of the coupons I use. There are 3 types of coupons that come in the paper. SmartSource(SS), RedPlum(RP) and P&G(these come once a month). They are all basically the same but you will see other bloggers mention them as "SS" or "RP". I get the paper here in Columbus for .99 cents delivered. Well worth it!
2. Internet- There are several websites that offer printable coupons. Typically you can print 2 of each coupon. Most sites update their coupons once a month. Here are a few of my favorite coupons sites.

3. Store Coupons- I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger and Meijer. Kroger mails me coupons(10-15) once a quarter and they typically send coupons for items I purchased. Actually, the past two times they have sent me coupons for FREE items. If you have a store loyalty card make sure your information is up to date-this is often how they send you extra savings! Meijer has coupons on their website here. You have to click on the "special" tab in the box on the right hand side of the page and the current printable coupons will show up. CVS and Walgreens also offer store coupons. Walgreens issues an Easysaver book every month and it is packed with moneysaving coupons. They are located at the front of the store. CVS has been issuing coupons in a special quarterly magazine called Reinventing Beauty and costs .99cents. They also send coupons out through email.
4. In Store/On Display- You will often see coupons in stores either stuck to the product or on a display nearby.

There are some other places to find coupons but these are the basics! If you are totally new to coupons I would start with the Sunday Paper.
