Coupons........

With so many deals this week at Jewel I thought I would write a post about coupons. There are many ways to get coupons. The easiest being the inserts that come in the Sunday paper. In this area, Chicago Tribune has the best coupons - many times there are ones that do not show up in my Daily Herald. You can subscribe to the Tribune for .50/week for Sunday only delivery using this code 09JE at http://www.chicagotribune.com/. I just tried it for our zip code and it still worked. I get 2 papers delivered, one in Doug's name Wed./Fri./Sun. delivery that we have had delivered for years and I just added a subscription in my name for Sunday only. It did take almost 2 months to start getting my second paper delivered but we just kept calling.

Menards and Dollar Tree also have the early edition paper available on Sat. for $1. I will go and get 1 or 2 (depending on the inserts that week) on Saturday.

Now, I usually try to do the coupon match-ups but there are tons this time and I have not had time to sit down and do that so I am going to give you a few resources to use to find your coupons.
I use both http://www.coupontom.com/ and http://www.hotcouponworld.com/ - they both are great. If you sign up with Coupon Tom, you will be able to see expired coupons as well as current coupons. Dominick's takes expired coupons so this comes in handy. When I am matching up my Jewel ad though, I do not sign in because they do not take expired coupons, it makes it a bit easier not having to look at the expiration date as I go along.
Hot Coupon World is an extremely jam-packed site! It takes some time to navigate through it in the beginning but once you get it, it is very valuable! Sign up for an account (it's free) and click on the coupon database. You can search using expired coupons or not. They have TONS of coupons listed - from inserts, hangtags, tearpads, homemailers, etc. The nice thing about this site is that if there is an IP (internet printable) available, you will be able to print it right there!

If there is a product you are wanting to buy, go to the company website. Many times, you will find coupons under a promotions tab.
