- Ask your friends and neighbors. Ask people you know at church--that's a great spot because you can get in the habit of collecting fresh inserts!
- Sunday advertisers--ask neighbors who do not get the Sunday paper, but do get the YES! inserts delivered if they would let you pick them up off their driveway Sunday morning.
- Recycle center: yes, dumpster diving. It's really not gross since you are only going thru newspapers. Most recycling places want you to ask first. Just wear gloves!
- Coupon trains. What is a coupon train?
A coupon train is an envelope filled with non-expired coupons that is sent between riders. When you receive the "train", take which coupons you will use and replace those with coupons for your fellow passengers. You then mail it to the next address on the list. check out http://www.mommysavers.com/c/ - Just plain old trading with other Moms, co-workers, etc. Make a deal to give cat food coupons for diapers and wipes. Yogurt for organic items, etc. Keep things simple.
- Computers: you can print out coupons-but they have limits. Use more than one computer to get additional coupons.
- Let people know you coupon at Boy Scouts, American Heritage Girls, soccer, etc. let them know you are always looking for new coupons and to bring them to you or call you so you can arrange a pick up. Have calling cards. Calling cards just have your name and phone number on them. Very simple and cheap at Vista print or little prints (thru Costco.)
- Library--does your library get several papers? Would they be willing to let you have the inserts? Usually these things get tossed out.
- Newspaper carrier, sometimes they have left overs. Be prepared sometimes they keep a certain insert for themselves or give you too many, but the deal is you take it off their hands to save them a trip to the recycle center. Tip generously!
- Trading websites, you will need to pay postage. Find me at http://couponspare.com/profile/thutson
