Capri Coupons

So, we left the wonderful Williamsburg where awesome coupons were in abundance (and relatively affordable-$.75 per paper) and moved to the coupon wasteland of KY. I was quite discouraged for the first few months here as the coupons in the paper weren't nearly as good as the ones in Williamsburg (there are a lot of regional coupons) and a Sunday paper cost $2--more than twice what I was used to paying!!!! Oh the indignity! Well after some research, I found a coupon service that seemed to fit me well. I hated scouring eBay for individual coupons and then having to calculate what the actual cost was and if it was really worth it. I would like to introduce you to capriscoupons.com She sells whole inserts (in sets of 5) Then you can clip what you want/need. We decided to join her $50 a month plan. It gives us 5 sets of each insert and this includes shipping. So for roughly the same cost of newspapers, they are delivered right to our door, and the coupons are better than what I can get here. I hated going out on Sundays to the little boxes and stuffing in $10 in quarters to get my inserts, especially because most of the time the boxes woudl be empty by the time we got home from church. Furthermore, she sends out a preview every week of what the next week's inserts are going to have in them, so If there are some that I won't use at all, I just tell her not to send them to me for that week, or I can substitute in her region 2 inserts for the region 1 inserts (that come with the standard plan). By all means if you are couponing in The Burg, keep going on Saturdays to get the The Gazette, but once you leave, this site is a great tool to get coupons.
