I've never used coupons and recently moved on base. I have no idea what's allowed at the AAFES stores and whether all manufacturer coupons are accepted, printed coupons, and so on.<BR/><BR/>=)<BR/><BR/>Your site is a great resource!Halahbluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07608414474680648426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-42570379720039147142008-12-23T19:58:00.000-05:002008-12-23T19:58:00.000-05:00The originator of the coupon binder method of organization.<BR/> <BR/>http://laurawilliamsmusings.blogspot.com/2007/07/lauras-couponing-and-refunding-hints.html<BR/> <BR/>and<BR/> <BR/>http://laurawilliamsmusings.blogspot.com/2008/09/comment-from-reader-coupon-binder-and.htmlLaura @ Laura Williams' Musingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16781137925835442742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-75443496064348944312008-11-07T12:54:00.000-05:002008-11-07T12:54:00.000-05:00Great series Marcy! I can't wait to learn more tips from you on your future "All About Couponing" posts. I linked to you on my blog to send some more visitors your way to learn from your great advice.The Deal Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09489686450948138192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-40354098514312607682008-11-06T17:14:00.000-05:002008-11-06T17:14:00.000-05:00Everyone - thanks so much for your comments and tips! I didn't realize that some Walgreens sell papers for $0.99 or that subscribers sometimes get better inserts! I love your comments and just wanted to let you all know that I appreciate them!Marcyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18265483075223570536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-91968721461516524162008-11-06T17:11:00.000-05:002008-11-06T17:11:00.000-05:00vantagepoint - I know that some people file their coupons by expiration date and then by category (dairy, dry goods, toietries etc...). I file my coupons in a binder and pull out the ones that expire at the end of each month. I will share my method for organizing my coupons (and will hopefully link to a few others) in a post next week or the week after. Hopefully that info will help!Marcyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18265483075223570536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-69775144445032035462008-11-05T12:39:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:39:00.000-05:00Hey Marcy, another thing I learned is that people who subscribe typically always get all inserts. I often purchase additional papers at the store and noticed some would be missing. <BR/><BR/>Well, a reporter told me that those coupons are left out intentionally because the newspaper companies are paid for the advertisements/coupons only for subscribers. It is a roundabout way to *encourage* us to subscribe.<BR/><BR/>I guess it's just another reason to have more papers delivered :-)Andrea @ Mommy Snackshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11038851025691438482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-50038067551949427572008-11-05T12:36:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:36:00.000-05:00I buy my Sunday papers at Walgreen's which sells them here for .99 each. I try to go earlier in the week to buy something that produces a Register Reward to use toward the newspapers so it's like getting them for cheap or free.Dr. Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06762890987425770251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-22073925729295624832008-11-05T12:27:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:27:00.000-05:00Marcy, great idea for a post.

I am trying to learn the tricks of this trade. One problem I face, I often forget when a coupon expires, is there a good filing/organizing method that you can suggest for me.vantagepointhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18269510502453916299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-23385216402884738102008-11-05T09:22:00.000-05:002008-11-05T09:22:00.000-05:00Marcy<BR/><BR/>One thing I do so I know what date the insert were in the paper, I just write the month and day real big in black permanent marker on the front of the insert, it is right there in your face!!<BR/><BR/>But I am so glad I know about the date on the edge too=)Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02575070690254630205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167249566593331659.post-30213155704919654512008-11-05T08:50:00.000-05:002008-11-05T08:50:00.000-05:00Hey thanks!

Some thing I have found recently is to keep my eye on the paper itself too. I've found a lot of coupons for restaurants, dry cleaners, nail salons, etc. <BR/><BR/>I also just recently contacted my neighbor and asked for her inserts. They look at the ads, bu never clip coupons. I'm hoping she'll remember to save them an I can double my savings.<BR/><BR/>Love the blog! Looking forward to the rest of the series.TA-TAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02172627904639676958noreply@blogger.com
