Where's the Coupons??

Road trip to my parent's house today and we stop on the way and pick up the Sunday paper since I will have plenty of people to preoccupy the girls so I can do my couponing.

We get to my parent's house and the girls are enthralled with the toys they have there and showing them all the new things they can do and say. I get my coupon book out... go through them and take out all the expired ones. I'm inspired cause I get so much done and so quickly compared to normal Sundays. I then get the paper and section by section go through and take out the ads and am searching for the coupons... Smart Source, Red Plum, P&G... whatever they choose to put in their this particular week and I keep thumbing through... and through... and through. Uh... where are the glorious coupons that I have been so looking forward to. They're not there. None in sight. Nothing!

Now, I'm upset. I call my mother in law to see if there were any in her paper since she gets hers delivered and I picked mine up at the store. I figured maybe someone took them out of the paper I'd chosen. NOPE! She didn't have any coupons in her paper either. I'm seriously upset. Who would have ever thought I would be upset over coupons?? Not me, but I am.

So, now that I'm free of clipping and sorting coupons this week I am even more distraught because you KNOW that since there were no coupons that someone is going to have a super awesome coupon deal this week! It's inevitable. That's just how the punches roll, so now what to do?

There are many websites you can go to in order to search for coupons. Here are the deals that I've found for now.

Healthy Choice has a great coupon here where you can print two different coupons both are $2.00 off coupon of a frozen meal and the other is for the fresh mixers. Click on "Get your Coupon" and then choose the one(s) you want. You cannot hit the back button to print these twice. You actually have to go back to the home page and click to print your coupon again. You don't have to put in your email address or sign up for anything. You can, but that's up to you. These things are regularly price about $2.00 so you can get these for extremely cheap or even free. What could be better?

Coupons.com always has a slew of coupons that you will use. From cereal, toiletries, snacks, frozen stuff, and just everything! You should check it out here. For this site you can't hit the back button to reprint them twice. You have to go back through and check the coupons you want and it will print whichever you choose.

You can also check out Red Plum's website. They are one of the ones that has coupons in the paper as well. They have a lot to choose from. Make sure you choose your location and then pick and choose which coupons you want. You don't have to print all of them.

If you have a Target near you they have coupons on their website that you can pair with manufacturer coupons. This is always a great money saver because you can stack a Target coupon with a manufacturer coupon for each item. This has equaled out to a lot of free and/or cheap stuff for me!

Just looking at the coupons on the Target website and the deals that I saw on coupons.com...

Hamburger Helper
.50/2 cpns from Target
.75/3 cpn manufacturer
$1.25 off three boxes.

Cheerios
$1/2 Target cpn
.75/1 manufacturer cpn (use two of these)
$2.50 off two boxes

I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that caught my eye.

There are tons of options when it comes to missing coupons. Luckily if someone does end up with triple coupons this week then I will just have to go this weekend once I get the Sunday paper. I just hate going then because they are out of stock of everything by then.
