In this video, we teach you how to efficiently and effectively collect a ton of coupons.
Method 1:
Buy as many newspapers as possible. Collect the inserts inside. Recycle newspapers.
Method 2:
Buy 1 newspaper and ask the deli/grocery/bodega/newstand owner/employee if they are going to throw away any newspapers that night. It's best to buy your newspapers at night since they will be more inclined to let you have it. During the day it's still possible that they can make a sale. So spend your efforts in asking at night at the many 24/7 places. (or the ones that close really late).
Method: 3:
Do your best to establish a relationship with the deli/grocery/bodega/newstand owner/employee. They may be your ticket to a plethora of coupons. Be friendly and just ask how they are. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to establish rapport. The worst they can say is "no". And you lose nothing with asking.
Here's a tip if you're shy, like I was. I thought of it as helping them get rid of their old newspapers. I was doing them a service and a favor. If they said no, it was because they want to throw them out themselves. It's ok to be you and show your personality. Couponing is about enjoying the fact that you can keep your wallet a little thicker.
Happy Hunting!

@bayonne619 mostly our inserts come from sundays newspaper...best thing to do is establish a relationship with ur local mom and pop shop and any unused papers at the end of the night ask to donate them...must shops get their money if they only turn in the front page

@dmarti9876 there are 168 hrs in a week....if u can dedicate at least one more a day...wen u arent doing anything u can sneak in some time...in fact have ur family help you as well...it is a great way to show children how important it is to save a dollar...whether they are cutting the coupons or helping you sort them its a great help. i feel that because i also have a partner who helps out as well...the power of two people really helps out a lot
