Where do you find most of your coupons now a days? I know they have loads of online sites where you can print them off now. Do you feel you can get more there or do you still get most of yours out of the paper?

My paper is never dependable so I get more online. I even order some off e-bay! I would say I get them from all kinds of places, no one place more than another.

I tend to print more online then I get from papers. I have bought coupons from E-Bay too (actually paying for them clipping, not the coupons). I even swap with other people. I love coupons so I try to get as many as I can.

I get very few coupons from store circulars in the paper. Most of the coupons I use are those I find on coupon websites. I'm doing more shopping online, too, so that's part of the reason.

I used to get them mostly from the paper, however I am transitioning more and more into the online sites to get my coupons. I say that I currently do 50% from paper and 50% online.

I am about 50/50. For things I can order online of course I use the internet, for most other things I am a clipper for sure. It is very handy now to be able to load rewards cards with coupons as well, such a time saver.

It really depends. As others have said, it is 50/50. I try to pay attention to stuff that comes in the mail and also look around for online deals. The thing with online deals and coupons is that you have to pay attention to them, because they seem to go quite quick!

I usually find them in papers. However I am noticing the coupon expiration dates are becoming shorter and shorter. Now they are good for like a month and a half instead of 3 months.
Also there is less bulk coupons coming in the mail. I don't know whether its because of the online groupon kind of market. Or if its because of the extreme coupon show.

I definitely get more coupons online. The local paper and even magazines seem to be cutting down on coupons which is really horrible considering we all need help cutting corners as much as possible....Thank goodness for the internet

My wife does a lot of her couponing online, and prints them out, and takes them to the store. On the other hand the paper has a lot of them and can be a good resource for saving money all on its own. So, i think most of it is preference.
