I am not in your area, but usually the highest circulated paper has the best coupons. If you aren't sure, I would just buy a few different papers and compare coupons. I don't subscribe to the paper, I just buy what I want each week.

As far as IP's, I know Walmart usually takes them. At least I haven't had any troubles recently.

HTH.
Welcome to the boards!

Kristine is right. The biggest paper for your area... like Birmingham.

I certainly hope you didn't go ahead and pay for your purchases after they told you that they would not take your IPs. I would have said... Ok then... I'll let you put this back... I'll have to go to your competitor so I can use my coupons... Thanks! Buh Bye, now!

A few times of people doing that to them.. I bet they start using printables.

The best thing I can think of...is to ask customer service if they accept IP coupons before you start shopping. All the stores I shop at take IP coupons except for Dollar General. They take manufacturer coupons, but not the IP coupons...but this could vary in your area. Don't give up, it gets easier once you figure out what the coupon policies are at your stores. Best of luck to you and happy couponing.

I know here in TX ,my wal-mart takes ips.As far as a papers start with the big one and see.As you get your coupons going, you can also trade with others on this site.Just let us know what you need.And try and find a store that double and triples.Do you have a Kroger close by?What about a cvs?Great place to get shampoo,razors,etc...and get extra cash bucks back to use on your next trip.

Do you have a Kmart? They take IP coupons.... and occassionally they have days when they double them.

My Walmart and Super One store have also taken my IP coupons.
