Finding Coupons

I can remember when I started couponing and how frustrated I was reading about all the great deals other gals got, but I didn't have those coupons!

In order to build up my stash, I started buying extra papers and hubby volunteered to snag extras at the recycling center. In no time, I have built a very nice coupon binder.

One thing I've noticed, if you ever need to buy extra papers to get good coupons, buy a paper from a bigger city. For example, in today's Kansas City Star (which I buy at Dillon's for $2) they had 3 inserts: P&G, Red Plum and Smart Source. Often, the coupons are the same, but the values are a little higher (example, Campbell's Chunky soups $.75/4 instead of $.50/4).

Here is a list of coupons they have that the Wichita Eagle didn't have:
