Coupon Sources

The biggest source of coupons is the Indianapolis Star. Recently RedPlum, the publisher of one of the two weekly coupon circulars, pulled out of the Indy Star, but it's still well worth it to subscribe. The best price I've seen is at http://www.subscription-offers.com/newspapers/indianapolis-star/ where you get a 6 month intro rate of $6.50/month for Thursday and Sunday delivery. After that I believe the current rate is $9.35/month.

As I said, Redplum pulled out of the Sunday paper and is direct mailing their circular. So far I've gotten mine without asking for it on Wednesdays, but you can ask to be put on their mailing list to help ensure you get it. The place to do so is here: http://www.valassis.com/1024/Contact/MailingListAddition.aspx. I'm not sure what their official policy is, but I signed up for myself, LT, the cat, both dogs and one of the parakeets... I'll let you know how many I get in 6-8 weeks.

MyPoints is a "get points for reading emails" type of organization. I've been a member since 1998 and have received a number of gift cards for reading emails and taking part in offers that interest me. Right now MyPoints has teamed up with 2 coupon publishers to offer members their coupons. For every coupon I print through them and redeem, I get 10 points. Redeem 10 coupons in a month and get a bonus 25 points. I'm working on getting a referral link on here so you can click and join (and I get a bonus of 10% of your earned points). Until then, shoot me an email, coupon.rat@gmail.com, and I can send you a referral email.

If you don't want to hassle with MyPoints, you can just go direct to the coupon publishers:

Printing coupons online generally requires you to install a small coupon printer app on your computer. Once you're up and running you can generally print 2 copies of each coupon per computer. And don't bother printing coupons you might use. Go for the ones you will definitely use. Huge paper saver. Coupons are generally available on those sites for the entire month, though it doesn't hurt to check back occasionally. Sometimes new coupons are added during the month. And some of the really good coupons have a limited number of prints, so they get pulled after it's been printed X number of times. Always check at the beginning of the month for the uber-Qs.
