As soon as you start looking, you will find that coupons are everywhere! You will find 2-3 inserts in the Sunday paper. Usually there is one by Valassi, one by Smart Source and often one by Proctor and Gamble. But dont stop there! There are often a few in the Parade section, and a good Ralphs ad with a few coupons in the A section.

You will need more than one of each, so ask mom and Grandma to start saving for you. Ask the neighbors (if you have not got them hooked on deals yet!), Ask you delivery person to give you extras (bribe him with some of your free stuff!), if you have a safe place to do it and permission, go "dumpster diving" at a local recycle center.

Coupons will come in the mail. Sign up at several websites and you will start seeing coupons and samples showing up on your doorstep.

If a good coupon is mass mailed to your neighborhood, go to the post office. There will be a garbage can full of them by the p.o. boxes. Most people throw out the "junk" mail as they leave.
