If you want to get "serious" about the "couponing thing" - there is more to it than just the coupons from your Sunday paper. First of all, you should be buying more than 1 Sunday paper. I buy 3 and could probably stand to buy more on some weeks. My girlfriend buys 6 - but she has 6 children - so I guess a rule of thumb would be 1 paper per child, but no less than 3. Our local Walmart sells the Sunday paper for 75 cents. Try to find the cheapest place in town to buy your paper from. If you shop at Walgreens and earn register rewards, you can use those to buy your Sunday papers.
You should also be buying or subscribing to "All You Magazine". They also have printable coupons online, but each magazine has between 50 to 1oo dollars in coupons. This magazine is available only by subscription or at your local Walmart store, and usually comes out around the 20th of each month. I just grabbed my new issue yesterday. They retail for 2.49, but there is a $1 coupon inside each issue to use on your next purchase, so after the first month the issue will only cost you 1.49. Definitely worth it in my opinion.
I print a lot of coupons off of the internet. If you visit http://www.coupondivas.com/ they have links to the four main internet coupon databases that are available. New coupons usually come out on the first of the month, so that is always a good time to check out the new coupons that are available.
I also suggest signing up for coupons via e-mail from the products that you prefer to use such as Kelloggs, Proctor and Gamble, Betty Crocker, etc. They all have great coupons available on a regular basis. Some companies such as P & G also have quarterly sample packages that you can sign up for that are usually loaded with coupons as well. I will try to put up links to these as they become available.
More to come...but here's another great coupon link for you...http://www.coupons.com/couponweb/localoffers.aspx?pid=15493&zid=yn07&nid=10&bid=102212104306bf671207216&cid=16389163
This is for a brand new Kraft product, Kraft parmesan seasoning packets.
Enjoy!
