Coupon Clipping Services – When You Need/Want More Coupons!

Have you ever wished you had access to more coupons but you don’t know where to get them? You can always ask your friends or family for their coupon inserts; however, if they are using them and you want more you might want to check into coupon clipping services. I have used clipping services several times. These services are not charging for the coupons, but for the time it takes to clip the coupons, sorting, etc.

Here are a couple of my go-to favorites when it comes to Coupon Clipping Services:

Also – are you looking for a way to organize your coupons? You can get binder kits from Loaded Coupon Book starting at $19.99. These don’t include the binder itself, but all the contents you need to get you started plus a couple of coupon inserts from the newspaper. Check them out.

You can also purchase a binder with inserts at Mommy Saves Money – just click the picture below to go to her site!

Did You Know?

I originally posted this info back in April but I thought it might be worth sharing again!

Did you know that stores are reimbursed for the amount of a coupon plus $.08 for processing? You aren’t stealing from the store – they are getting their money back.

Did you know that if it’s illegal to make copies of coupons?

Did you know that if you use a coupon for one product but purchase a different product – the store may not be reimbursed? For example – say you are buying Nivea for Men body wash and you are using a Nivea for Women body wash coupon. The store however, doesn’t carry the Nivea for Women. The store may not be reimbursed for the coupon if they don’t stock the product!

Did you know that it’s illegal to purchase coupons? You can pay someone for their time and effort but you can’t pay someone for the coupons!

Did you know that at most stores, you can stack a STORE coupon and a MANUFACTURER coupon? Target, Walgreens, CVS, Kroger, Meijer & other stores often have STORE coupons that can be used in conjunction with a Manufacturer coupon. This is a terrific way to get savings on items!!

Did you know that if a coupon starts with a “5″ under the barcode, it is considered a manufacturer coupon.  It might say somewhere on the coupon “Don’t Double or Triple” or “Redeem at a certain store” – but you can redeem it anywhere. AND if the store doubles or triples coupons, they still wil be able to!

I’ve written this post to remind people that couponing can be fun AND save lots of money! However, we all need to be responsible couponers!! Let’s do the right thing!

Do you have any “Did you know” items you’d like to share???
