The Savannah Morning News has a new section in it's Sunday paper. (Click here to view.) It is attached to the comics, and it is all about coupons and how to use them more effectively. There are some great tips found here, and although some of the ideas would TOTALLY not fit my way of doing things, they are helpful to many I am sure.
It annoys me though, that they are now offering multiple copies of the Sunday paper at a "reduced" rate. The idea if for people to be able to get more copies of the coupons. But with so many coupons readily available to print at home via www.coupons.com, www.smartsource.com, www.redplum.com, www.cellfire.com, etc, is it really worth the extra money every month? And what about the waste of the extra newspapers/ Are people recycling them? Five extra Sunday papers is a lot of waste!
What are your thoughts here? Do you get more than one paper? Do you use printable coupons?

Coupons in unexpected places
This week, our Sunday paper had three coupon inserts. I also found coupons in some unexpected places this week. Inside the USA Weekend insert, there are 3 coupons on the last page for Scott paper products. I purchased two packs of Scott Natural wipes last week, and found a coupon in the most interesting (and a bit annoying) place....tucked inside of the back of the package inside of a sealed little envelope that I had to cut along the sides of to retrieve the coupon. It was a good one though, 75 cents off of one pack of wipes. :)
Lastly, I have found that many companies are catching on to teh appeal and convenience of Facebook. You can go to www.facebook.com/nabiscocookies on the first Monday of every month to download a coupon for a FREE package of Nabisco cookies when you buy one package plus a gallon of milk. The applet will allow you to print two coupons per month. Since I shop twice a month, this gives a little treat at an affordable price! Last month, Publix had the Chips Ahoy BOGO, and I used my coupon, which gave me two packs of Nabisco cookies and a gallon of milk for under $5. This will be a great way to have a little something special to snack on when the kids are out of school this summer and ALWAYS hungry!
