The Coupons Are Always The Same

[Mrs.O]

It's the same coupons in the papers all the time!!!! I've gotten to where I haven't bought papers in about 4 weeks cuz it's all junk I won't use or already have the previous week's coupons for the same items!!

I don't want to stop couponing but it is getting frustrating! I've recently changed the way I eat (not calling it a diet!!) and there will hardly ever be coupons for the things I'm allowed to eat. I give away probably 90% of the coupons in every paper..

Ok, I just needed to vent a little.

If you'd like different Q's than what your area gets, have you considered maybe having a cross country trading buddy, or using a coupon service and just getting what you can use through them instead of buying papers?

Sorry you're getting frustrated. Sometimes I do too when we don't get a Q I really needed. Hope my suggestions can help.

I haven't bought a newspaper in awhile....I've done really well searching the web for the brands I use often. Also, signing up and getting samples gets alot of coupons. I get the redplum in the mail, Publix/Kroger both send me store coupons. When I do rebates that's when I get on their mailing list and get some really good coupons. I may break down and buy one next week if it's a good week for coupons. Google your favorite products and you would be amazed at what you come across. I love when people post bricks coupons for what I'm search and sometimes I notice the value of the IP is alittle higher than the one in the paper. Good luck!

i agree about the same old boring coupons. but in my case, i think i will be giving up couponing. it's just not worth the trouble anymore. i'm just spending money on newspapers, stamps, & envelopes to mail away coupons i'm not going to use. yes, it's nice to help others, but it's starting to cost me quite a bit, & i am always behind now because of school, so it's not really any fun for me anymore. it's just stressful.

I seem to always be a week or two behind since I started back to college this semester. I just keep telling myself, just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

I can't give this up, it's like a disease it has gotten in my blood in these few months!

I totally agree!! You will want to throw up if you pay full retail. Don't give yourself an ulcer!
