So, what is couponing? Is this just cutting coupons out of the sunday paper and ad mailers?

It's gone beyond that. Nowadays you can even access coupons on your wireless mobile device and use them without even printing to paper.

And the next task for The Coupon Whisperer is to get a free/cheap wireless device via coupons. Hey, I "bought" the very laptop I am posting this with for FREE by using coupons. Coming up to the one year anniversary of my "purchase" in a few weeks.

No!

It's using that Sunday coupon and combining it with a 50% of sale and a store that offers register rewards (dollars applied to your next purchase).

Say an item retails normally at $5.00 and you have a $1.00 of coupon. The store has the product on sale for $3.00 and offers $1.00 in register rewards for every $5.00 purchase.. That brings the actual price down to a buck.
