Anybody else have theories as to how Missy Eby from "Extreme Couponing" collects 5000 coupon inserts per week? My bet is on having a friend at the newspaper office who turns the unused inserts over to her in maybe a barter deal in exchange for some goods. That sounds like a better barter deal than what I do in trading for jerk pork/chicken.

She took them from my Sunday paper last week.

I try to tell the hubby to make sure there are some in there before spending $2.00 for it. Doesn’t always work.

I don't know but I wish she'd send some my way.

I knew a woman who found out the location of the dumpster where the paper delivery person tossed all of the inserts that hadn’t been inserted. She would come home with stacks and stacks of inserts.

I’ve always been a “clipper” in moderation. How many bottles of any food can you use up before it goes bad. My main issue with couponing is that aside from cleaning or paper products, most are for foods that are not very healthy, full of sugar, salt and fat. No coupons for fresh fruits, vegies. I watched the program on TV about couponing and was shocked at the amount of really unhealthy food these people bought. Common sense says to shop the perimeter of the stores, stay away from bottles and cans of prepared food and it makes for a healthier diet.

At the risk of asking a silly question; where do you get the coupons? Just in the papers?

Can you add me to your ping list when you post these — I don't plan to be excessive compulsive about it (a personality issue of mine) but I absolutely need to be couponing. I'm waking up, and would really appreciate it!

I know Missy, and she gets a great amount of her inserts from a Lakeland Ledger rep who gives Missy the inserts from her papers in exchange for Missy getting subscriptions from all of her coupon classes so she the rep gets credit. It is not ethical according to the Ledger because I called and asked. I did not give any names, I just asked if this was allowed. Each one of the inserts has to be accounted for, and the people who end up with that paper get no inserts! I would be pretty confident in saying that is NOT how God works....Missy has a way of twisting things to get her way and make her self look good. She is helping a lot of people with her donations, BUT she is not doing it completely above board.
