Where To Get Your Coupons

I get asked this question often. I get my coupons from several different places. My single best source is the Sunday edition of the Mpls. Star Tribune. I know, pretty old fashioned, huh? Most people don't get the paper any more, but guess what? This is the best place to get the bulk of your coupons.
Another source of coupons is junk mail. Watch for a small supplement in Wednesday's junk mail. Typically there are a couple of coupons for Rainbow that are good starting the next day (Thursday).
Online coupons are great! My experience is that these coupons, printed on your home printer, are accepted just like a coupon clipped from the newspaper. You can print computer generated coupons in color or black/white. Either way, they are accepted locally.
Buying coupons is another good option for getting the ones that you really want and use on a regular basis. Do a Google search for the various sites that are available. NOTE: IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL COUPONS. WHEN YOU PURCHASE COUPONS FROM SOMEONE YOU ARE PAYING THEM FOR THEIR TIME.
Another source to look for are the coupon dispensers in the store. These are stocked periodically and placed at various places around the store. You'll find them mostly at eye-level. You can easily stand at the end of the aisle and look down the aisle to see if there are any dispensers. These are also found in the frozen food aisle secured to the outside of the glass doors.







  • Magazines are also a great place to find good coupons! The best magazine that I have come across is "all you". It's published by the same folks that publish PEOPLE, but this is a much more down-to-earth version! This month's edition has over $69 in coupons for things like health & beauty products, paper products, beverages, vitamins, and a wide assortment of food items. I often find several BOGO coupons as well as $1 coupons in this magazine. Another feature is that this magazine offers a lot of user-friendly tips on all sorts of Mommy things (buying groceries, cleaning house, staying organized, buying clothes just to name a few). They offer realistic suggestions and show real people in their ads and stories. I highly recommend this magazine if you're looking for something that is useful and has great offers! http://www.allyou.com/
