Coupon Clipping Sites

[smiley]

Has anyone used a clipping site rather than buying the newspaper? which site did you use? and any other details you are willing to share!

My parents bought me a subscription to the Sunday paper for my birthday so I will still have access to it, but I am curious if a clipping site would be better.

In addition to the sites ashley&scott posted, I like to visit the sites of brands I really like. They often have coupons for products that are not otherwise found online, especially for new products. Just make a list of brands you use and like and start searching those websites!

I meant a site like this...

www.thecouponclippers.com/coupons/home.php

there are hundreds of coupons in the data base that you choose from and then they are mailed to you preclipped.

I haven't used one yet, but I'm considering it. My local papers only come with 1 insert when the papers in my previous town came with 2. I think those clipping sites are good for people who want to buy in bulk & with room to make a stockpile. I live in a small apartment, so I don't have the space to store much.

I didn't realize this at first, I did some searching around the website I posted and they require you to purchase a minimum of 5 coupons for each item I believe.

Not all. Some places sell sets of 5 or 10. Others let you buy individual. Some have $ minimums (like $5 minimum order...), others don't. I looked at about 5 and even the per coupon handling fee can vary. $0.08 seems to be the most common, but some do $0.10. The one thing that bothers me is that high value coupons, like $3/1, are priced higher (i.e. $0.24). The price you pay is a handling fee and to reimburse the couponer for the time it took them to clip & organize it. As far as I know, it doesn't take any more effort to clip a $3 coupon than a $0.30 coupon. I just spent about $2 (+$1 shipping) for $17.5 in coupons (after store doubling) on Klip2Save. That's how much I spend every Sun on a newspaper.

I use hip2save.com for all my coupons. She posts deals all the time, including coupon matchups for each week so you can see what stuff is on sale where.
