When I started couponing, I would mainly use printable coupons from the internet since they were easy to access. Then last month I began transitioning into using newspaper coupons. This way I didn't waste all my printer ink because that stuff is expensive!!
Since the big snow storm Nemo came and gave my area nearly 3 feet of snow, there was no way I could get to the store on Sunday to buy the paper. I was sad I missed out on the coupons so I visited a few coupon clipping sites (they're kind of pricey!). I checked out Ebay and they sell some coupons in bundle sets for only $1 or so shipped!
I ordered 3 sets of coupons for items I plan on buying in the next few weeks and paid less than $4 for all of them. The coupon value for the 3 sets total to $143! That is a lot of savings!
Here's a quick breakdown on coupon prices on Ebay (based on my purchases).
15 Nivea lip coupons $1.55 +free shipping!
each coupon is only $0.10 each!
20 Schick hydro coupons $1.00 +free shipping!
Each coupon is only $.05 each!
I noticed that coupon clipping sites were about priced about $.10-$.50 PER coupon + shipping fees! Some even required a minimum purchase amount. Ebay is definitely the way to go (at least for me!) This is better deal to me since I look at the upcoming weeks sales ad and can pick out which specific Qs I need and have multiples without spending $3 per newspaper! Now I spend about $3 and get multiples of coupons I actually use!
