How do Extreme Couponers Get so Many Coupons

Are you a beginner or relatively new to couponing and wonder how the extreme couponers accumulate loads of coupons? Extreme couponers actively search for coupons on products that they regularly use either daily, weekly and some monthly, depending on the time they have allotted for saving money.


Here are some tips to help you find coupons and build your coupon stock:

1. Order coupons from the sites of the products you use, many manufacturers offer periodic or ongoing printable coupons or coupons by mail and you should also check their social networking pages such as Facebook and Twitter as well as their blogs
2. Order coupons from sites such as Brandsaver.ca, GoCoupons.ca, Save.ca, Websaver.ca, LifeMadeDelicious.ca, LiveWellSaveWell.ca and Right@Home.ca
3. Look in newspapers and magazines that you have access to reading
4. Subscribe to several newspapers which carry the coupon circulars
5. Subscribe to the magazines that have periodic coupon flyer
6. Local and National newspapers have coupon inserts called SmartSource and RedPlum, they are published usually on a monthly basis
7. Ask family, friends and neighbours to keep coupons for you that they don't use
8. Look in the recycling bins on garbage day, you can find many coupon circulars there that were unwanted by the dwellers of the homes
9. Check the lunchroom at your place of employment
