1. The prin...Good question and it has two answers:<br /><br />1. The printable coupons are almost ALWAYS higher value than in the Sunday inserts. They can save you much more money in the long run. This is the biggest reason I use mostly printables, a few from the inserts, and a few from All You.<br /><br />2. I live in a smaller city, so my inserts often don't have the same coupons or the same values as I see listed on other blogs. I got WAY too frustrated after coupon-matching at other blogs--they'd say to look for a coupon in "X" SmartSource or RedPlum insert to match with some great deal--I'd go to my inserts and it seemed like 90% of the time the coupon wasn't there or was a lower value. <br /><br />Because of this, I decided to simplify things and just go with listing printables. Then people who don't even have a coupon stash can come and print off some coupons and still save money that day at the store. Others can go through their coupon stash and find more matches, but they might be different than mine. Make sense?<br /><br />Hope that helps explain my reasoning! :-)Jessica-MomForHimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872767634799916253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001737528167065961.post-87076653618418261882010-02-03T22:55:47.741-06:002010-02-03T22:55:47.741-06:00Thanks for all your hard work on this site.

When listing the deals at the stores why don't you ever match with the coupons that come in the sunday inserts? I hate printing coupons since I almost always have some problem with the computer and I have a ton of coupons from the papers.<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001737528167065961.post-8892770716109149122010-02-02T13:34:14.799-06:002010-02-02T13:34:14.799-06:00Katie-

The short answer is you can verify each coupon by going to the website listed on the coupon. <br /><br />Of course you'd have to be willing to politely ask the manager to do this, and I guess it is his/hers prerogative to refuse--however I would (politely) make it clear that if they were willing to accuse me of coupon fraud and yet weren't willing to verify that my coupon WAS indeed legit, they'd be losing my business.Jessica-MomForHimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872767634799916253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001737528167065961.post-72325735930790757532010-02-02T12:55:26.834-06:002010-02-02T12:55:26.834-06:00I bought a used laser printer through Amazon for $...I bought a used laser printer through Amazon for $50, with the toner cartridge being $30. The toner cartridge prints about 10,000black and white copies. That should pretty much last me forever:)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241765493227321581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001737528167065961.post-27637622609225139632010-02-02T11:45:27.910-06:002010-02-02T11:45:27.910-06:00Hey Jessica -

I print mine in B&W, too, and last week they wouldn't accept one because the manager (who happened to be bagging) said it looked too much like a photocopy. Has this ever happened to you? Is there any way to prove that they are real and not copied?<br /><br />Thanks for your help!<br />KatieHome Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919965258290570982noreply@blogger.com
