Have you gone Coupon Shopping today?

I am always asked where I find all of the coupons that I have. The answer is very simple, I go coupon shopping!

Now I am sure you are wondering what this means. What I mean by coupon shopping is that I never leave a store without looking down every aisle to see whether there are any coupons available for products that I buy. You would be amazed how many coupons you will find if you just look for them. They are everywhere!

You do not only have to look at grocery stores, but any retailer that you are shopping at. Walmart, Zellers, you name it, they will probably have coupons available for you to "buy".

Also, if you have friends or family that also are coupon junkies, you can have them look for coupons for you, and you will do the same for them.

Another way to expand your coupon collection is to participate in a coupon train. The concept is very simple, a group of individuals agree to participate in a coupon train, the first person sends out an envelope filled with coupons that they are willing to give away to the first person in the train. When that person receives the envelope, they take the coupons that they would like and replace them with other coupons. Then that person mails the envelope to the next person on the list, and so on and so on. You may receive the envelope and not find a lot of coupons that you need, but you may hit the jackpot. All this cost you is the amount of a stamp, that's not bad.

Just keep looking, it is very exciting when you find that coupon that you really want. It's exhilarating!
