No matter what, you can always count on your local Sunday paper for coupons, but that is by far not the only coupon source. Lucky for us, there is the internet. That is probably the place where you will find the mot coupons. Using the Internet, there are so many different places you can find coupons. You can join a coupon site. My favorite is www.afullcup.com. From this site, you can trade with other members, you can bid on coupon auctions, and you can join coupon trains. All of these are great ways to find more coupons. Especially if you can trade with someone who lives in a different region from you, most of the times they will have different coupons.

You can also check out the many, many sites online where you can print coupons. You can find coupons on the manufactures website, ebay or craigslist. Coupons.com has lots of coupons you can print right at home. Contacting the manufacture will often result in them sending you coupons and even sample items.

Magazines are a great place to find coupons and most of us would not even think to check there! Wal-Mart has a magazine called All You. You would never know it was a Wal-Mart magazine and it has tons of manufactures coupons that are not the same as the ones from the Sunday paper. I know Redbook often has coupons as well. Also look at special inserts in your daily newspapers, like Parade, Senior Living and any other inserts you may get.

Stores are another great way to find coupons. They often have a Catalina machine that will print out coupons for you at the register. There are so many tearpads, winetags, and blinkies (those little boxes on shelves that spit out the coupons) to be found in you store. How many times have you seen an end-cap with a new product on it to try. There are probably coupons on that end-captoo. Also store demonstrations will have coupons to hand out too. Products often have a Save Now peelie coupon on them. I find the drinks coolers have the most. Even at convenient stores, you can find those tearpads on the drinks coolers.

Store flyers are another great place for coupons. Walgreens always have some kind of coupon in their flyers. And since they are a store coupon, you can use them in combination with a manufacturers coupons to save even more! Many drug stores now have free flyers with coupons in them.

Keep your eyes open, you never know where you might find a coupon for a good deal.
