So last week I talked about how you can get an idea of what coupons will be in the Sunday paper by checking out Sunday Coupon Preview. I stated how this site isn't totally accurate for our area and that I would share with you how you could use this to your advantage...
When you check out Sunday Coupon Preview you are able to see what other coupons are out there. Our area may or may not receive the coupons on the list.
For example, a while back I saw that some areas were going to be receiving a $1.00/2 Kraft Cheese coupon. Unfortunately our area did not receive that coupon. BUT what I did was went on a few coupon clipping sites and checked to see if they had this coupon available. It was sold out on a couple of the sites and was not even able to find it on the one. So I went to ebay! I was able to buy 15 of these coupons for $1.99! I was able to use almost all of them! By using 12 of them, paired up with a good deal, I ended up with 18 packages of FREE Cheese! The $1.99 that I spent on these coupons was WELL SPENT!
Ebay and the clipping sites cannot charge you for the coupon itself, but they can charge you a fee for the service of clipping and also for shipping & handling. Some of the sites "sell" whole inserts &/or individually clipped coupons. I believe that most of the clipping sites have minimum dollar amount requirements before an order can be placed.

When you are purchasing anything from ebay please make sure you are buying from a reputable seller!
Ordering coupons from ebay or a clipping service is not something that I do regularly but have on occasion when I find something that we use a lot of or I know I can get a good deal on. Like I mentioned in the post about buying multiple inserts, I make sure that purchasing coupons from these sites is worth my money!
