How to Get More Coupons

By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

More coupons equals more savings. It's simple enough math, but how exactly do you get your hand on more coupons? Read on for several winning strategies to try:

Sign Up for Newsletters

Devoted to a particular product or brand? Check the company's website to see if they offer a free e-newsletter. Subscribers are often rewarded with special coupons and promotions.

Buy an Extra Paper

There's no rule that says you can only buy one newspaper, so pick up an extra one (or five) whenever you find good coupons inside.

Call Companies

More coupons could be just a phone call away. Dial the toll-free number on the back of your favorite products and ask if they have coupons that they can send you.

Upromise

Get more coupons and increase your college savings at the same time with Upromise's new eCoupons program. Each month they feature up to $25 worth of coupons on their website that you can load onto your grocery and drug store rewards cards.

Just keep in mind: eCoupons work a bit differently than regular coupons. You'll get your savings in the form of a deposit to your Upromise account, rather than as a deduction on your grocery bill.

PGesaver.com

Load even more coupons directly to your grocery store rewards cards with the P&G eSaver program. It's as simple as registering on the site, choosing a participating grocery store, and then checking in from time to time to select the coupons that you'd like to use.

Smartsource.com

If you're lucky enough to shop at a grocery store that accepts online coupons, smartsource.com is a great tool to add to your coupon arsenal. It features page after page of coupons that you can print off and use.
