I heard from someone earlier in the week that there would be five inserts in today's paper. Several other people as well told me and so this morning real early I got up to get the Sunday Paper. I got two copies and so I have ten inserts. I'll be clipping them soon.
I so need to buy the ez coupon clipper I saw on amazon as it would make it much easier.
I am waiting for couponcuttersco to send me coupons, it seems it's taking her a bit more time then usual as I would have though I'd have gotten it by now.
Well I need to start clipping, organizing them soon. I'll call my sister and tell her to come over and get the coupons I won't use. Not sure if she's done her shopping this week or not.
Did you get today's paper?

I think it is very smart of you to use coupons. My mom used to go to four stores and buy the deals they had at each one. Couponcuttersco must keep busy. I don't get the paper. I always forget to use the coupons even if I cut them. We get some sometimes from Albertson's that we can use within a certain amount of time.

the store's loyalty card. My store does it, we have coupons on the site that you load onto your card while you're making your list and checking the specials online.

I agree on some of it. Though I've put up tags for my store and so have seen first hand prices drop, I mean prices go down for things that aren't even on sale that week. Sometimes it's no more then 0.20 but it does go down.
My store caters to a lot of people. We have a lot of gluten free items, we have international items, we sale things that other stores don't. I've always said we are a step down from Whole Foods.

I like to get the Sunday paper and use the coupons if they have coupons I can use. Before I was shopping to the paper and the coupons. I don't do that anymore, because I am finding I save more money by making my own menu and shopping to that menu.
I wonder what inserts are in the paper. They have smartsource, redplum and proctor and gamble. Maybe I should go check out the paper today. Thank you for the great information.

They are all in a mess as I am in the process of cutting them but I know there was red plum and smart source, i think two smart source.
P&G was last week and that was the only insert that there was.
I want to try to follow the coupons as much as possible but I do have things I buy that would never have a coupon for.

My paper had 3 SmartSource and 2 RedPlum this morning. I heard that there is supposed to be a Target Johnson & Johnson insert out this week, too, but I didn't get that one.
I wish there were more coupons available for fruits and veggies, too. There's a printable out for $1 off fresh fruit, but you have to buy two packages of Frosted Mini Wheats to get the discount. I don't buy that cereal, so it's totally not worth it.

Often there are coupons in the paper for the local bakery, but you have to use the coupon on the same day, so unless you are going out and purposely going to that bakery, our nearest one is a bus ride away, so you'd spend money on the bus just to get the free danish, cup of coffee or whatever else they offer. Most of the coupons I get are through the post or when I use my loyalty card in the shops.

Definitely not worth it then. Though you do get coupons in the mail and when you go to the store? I don't understand why it's so different over there with coupons. The USA and Canada have many coupons.

Yes I got today's paper because we have it delivered to my house 7 days a week. I loved having so many inserts. I have already cut and sorted my coupons. I do that every Sunday.

how long did it take you to clip the coupons? I got two papers so ten inserts, that had me busy for like four hours just clipping.

I'm planning to get a blade I saw off of amazon to cut coupons with. It's safe and easy to use and not a bad price for it either. I think it's called "The Coupon Cutter" or something like that.

You can really save so much money doing that. It seems like the US and Canada has the best when it comes to coupons as even the UK, though they have them I've been told don't have very many good ones.

I remember when there would be a free coupon for a new product, wed get a few inserts from friends and family. A great way to save and get a few things free.

You are so organised with thisclipping of coupons. I envy you as we do not have anything like this on a large scale where I live.

I only have a small pouch, i am not completely organized but I wish I was.
from what I understand it's US and Canada that seem to have the best selection of coupons out there. I am not sure why manufacturer's in other countries don't seem to be big on couponing.

That is quite good naturally because you can use them all at one go and the benefits are unparallel which they give mainly sunday papers for amazon.happy shopping

I seldom use cupon in my town, and the newspaper seems have no cupon for us to clip. Perhaps it is the culture difference. I'd like to experience that " life with cupon", I assume you must be save a lot of money by using cupon.

I save money but as for your definition of a lot I am not sure. Let's just say I follow all couponing rules but also try to only use coupons for items I will use or a family member will. I've saved half of the cost of my order before though.

Your going to be on tv soon, with the extreme couponers. I used a few coupons today. Sadly the coupon system here is nothing like the US. Here they give 0.50 cents, or $1.00 off a $15.00 product. If I buy the prodcut anyways, I will use it. Such as today I got 4 cans of cat food for $2.xx. I wrote down a list of companies at work, to email them too.

Did you see the picture I posted on FB? It's a lot but some is going to my sister, some will be going to a co-worker and the rest will be going to one of my favorite coupon-ers.
I do need to get a coupon binder just to organize things though.
