Get some coupons!

If you were at our coupon class on Friday, you know that the first step to saving money by "couponing" is to get coupons! And one of the best places to get coupons is in the Sunday paper. Getting the coupons from a Sunday paper is a must if you're going to be able to do a lot of the deals we post here!

We've found that the Chicago Tribune is the best around for coupons - it has more coupons than the Rockford Register Star. Plus, if you subscribe to it with the codes below, you can get the Sunday paper delivered to your house for only $0.50 a week! So take the plunge and get the paper! You'll save that $0.50 a week more than 5 to 10 times over with all the coupons you'll use!

Go to the Chicago Tribune subscription site here

Enter your zip code

Enter the code 084J or 081B

Choose the Wed, Fri, Sun delivery for $0.50 (yes, for some reason it's cheaper to get 3 papers a week than just the Sunday one. Recycle the rest, or read it!)

Subscribe! This is for new subscribers only (see fine print at bottom).


Here is the fine print:
Price good for a minimum of 26 weeks. Delivery will continue after the introductory period, for all subsequent terms at our regular low rate unless the Chicago Tribune is otherwise notified. Not valid with any other discounts. For new subscribers only those who have not received home delivery in the past 30 days. Where home delivery is not available, e-Edition subscriptions will be available at the current e-Edition rate.

I'm so bummed! The Tribune doesn't deliver to MC - not even to our local gas stations. We'll have to remember to pick it up before we leave Rockford next Sunday. The Register Star was such a bust this week!

I feel like I'm hitting a wall at almost every turn. I want to get better and learn all the tricks of saving money, but I just have to remember that it can't all be done at once. Baby steps, right?!

I will check it with Jason, but I would love to have the extra coupons and not the ads. I would discontinue the RRstar and get the Tribune. Can't beat 50 cents for three days a week.
