I just discovered
www.thecouponclippers.com (via another thread in this very forum, LOL), and it is AWESOME.
Instead of paying $1.50 for the Sunday paper, and clipping out maybe three or four coupons out of the whole thing, I go to this site and order as many manufacturer's coupons as I want of any particular kind, usually paying five or ten cents for each one. (Considering that each coupon is worth more than that, it's a veritable steal-- especially if the store you use douples or triples your coupons).
For example, I just ordered 10 coupons for Eggland's Best eggs. Each coupon is worth 35 cents off a dozen. I paid 5 cents per coupon, for a grand total of 50 cents. Using just one coupon at Kroger more than paid for all of them, since they double my coupons-- with one coupon, I got 70 cents off.
Some caveats: they require a miminum order of $3 per order; for some coupons, you can only get a certain number (i.e. you're limited to buying, say, three); and conversely, for some coupons, you have to get a *minimum* amount of, say, three. (The numbers are different depending on what brand you pick-- I'm just using three as an example.)
But their administrative fee is just 50 cents (very reasonable IMO), and the shipping is simply what it costs to mail it, nothing more (I paid 58 cents). Also, my order arrived super quick. These are not internet coupons-- they're manufacturer's coupons that have been clipped from a Sunday paper insert, and they're mailed to you, not e-mailed. And no, I'm not associated with this site in any way-- I just really, really like it! (Uh, is it obvious?
)
