I would suggest starting at weusecoupons.com and looking for the stores in your area. For the drug stores, iheartcvs.com, iheartwags.com, and iheartriteaid.com are all run by the same person and keep you up to date on what’s happening at those stores. You can also get the same info in the weusecoupons.com forums. Sometimes one will find a deal that others won’t.
Which one you’ll be more interested in depends on what stores are in your area.
Doesn't affect The Coupon Whisperer. I get my coffee FREE. However, my coffee stockpile is down to about a 2-month level so this might be a good time to look for more FREE coffee to put back in my stash.
I always thought coupons were more trouble than they were worth (just more scraps of paper to keep track of) but now I think they will fit in nicely with my already well established prepping skills and habits. Thanks!

what is BOGO?
i’m new to this
Buy One, Get One. And that is very important when buying expensive supplements. CoQ 10 is about $25. It helps with the leg cramps from cholesterol meds, memory, heart health. So are things like Move Free, now those I especially look for the $5 off coupons.
Try joining www.howtoshopforfree.com. Kathy also has a book she will sell you.
It costs $1/year and has many people that are willing to teach you.
They will also alert you to FREE deals every week.
I do visit www.iheartcvs.com and www.iheartwags.com to find out ahead of time to find out the items that will be free.
That way you can get the coupons to match with the sale items to make them free or very close.
In addition to those sites I also get a weekly email from www.couponmom.com that has links to the online printable sites(coupon.com, smartsource and redplum).
The other key is to aquire multiples of the same coupon. This can be done by a few differnet methods. The simplist is to buy them off EBAY from clipping services and pay someone $.08-$.25/q to clip them for you. This is how people buy a years worth of toilet paper. I have personally bought 350 Marcal coupons at one time for $.08/q. The person I bought them from had over 2000. Most of these people work for newspapers or the companies that actually print the inserts.
Another method is to get them at the front of your grocery store. My grocery store has the peel off coupons up by the service desk.
The other method is to go to your local recycling center and sort through the newspapers that people bring in. Lastly, you can buy multiple copies of your Sunday newspapers.
The way to get more than two of the online printable coupons is have multiple computers with different IP addresses. The printing program will only let you print two for each address. I will print them at my office and at home. I have also used other peoples computer in my office.
This method allowed me to print 10 coupons for Sylvania lightbulbs that were all free.
PJ,
I have never bought coffee for free. Can you be specific how this was obtained. The best I ever seem to do is get it reduced with a coupon.
WAGS RRs. Got them with the RRs when they were on sale. Folger's 11.3 oz. I think they were on sale for $2.79 so $3 RRs easily covered them.
Find the items that they pay you to take out of the store and then anything you get with the RRs is free.
