Is it a worthy investment About This Page:

to get the Sunday paper for the coupons? Would it be better for me to just stop at the store on the way home from the gym each Sunday and buy a copy?? Or subscribe? At the moment I don't get the paper at all.

Our Sunday paper goes on sale for $1 on Monday, so if I need coupons, I just pick up a late copy. It's definitely worth the $1 most of the time.

I don't have the paper delivered, Terri. I guess if you use lots of coupons it might be worth it. I don't use coupons either. I use to try, but it seems like they offer coupons for all the stuff I don't buy.

A lot of the coupons in the paper are completely worthless to me, so I would have to say that the Sunday paper isn't worth the investment for just the coupons. I like the coupons that the store gives me at checkout time. These items I usually buy. Those bonus cards are good for something I guess.

I just signed up for the Grocery Game (Coupons, Grocery Coupons - TheGroceryGame.com). They are having a $1 four week trial and then it's $10 for 8 weeks. They had several printable coupons on their website, too ($7 worth for things I needed). It gives you a spreadsheet of items on sale and which coupons (including the date/circular) to use for the best deal. I'll be getting free toothbrush, toothpaste, and cider vinegar tablets this week as well as saving at least 50% off on 12 other items I need. I think it will make it worth the $1.25 per week, plus $1 for my "day old" newspaper!

I like having the Sunday paper deliverd- in the summer its ok to go out and buy it but when its cold and snowy I love having it on my doorstep when I get up.

We get the Sunday paper delivered and you can usually bargain a good subscription price with them. Our paper is $1.50/week but we pay .80 by paying 26 weeks at a time. That said, some weeks there are no coupons in our paper at all, other weeks there are some - but not for anything we use. So, it's kind of hit or miss. If you're going to get it for the coupons only, I'd say forget it - not worth it.

Here's an alternate idea. Do you know someone who gets the paper who doesn't use the coupons? I won't buy our paper for 1.75. We get it at work. I "steal" the coupons which most of them are like 1.00 off nowadays. That way you are not paying for a paper and still getting the coupons!

I subscribe to the paper because I enjoy reading the newspaper on Sunday Mornings. But in our local paper there is usually a $5.00 off coupon to restaurants when you buy two dinners. I know alot of people are trying to save money by not going out at all. But I like to eat out on occasion and those coupons actually come in handy when you have 4 people in the family that eat adults dinners now.

It's cheaper to subsribe to the Sunday paper than to buy it from the stands - now whether or not you'd use enough coupons out of it to justify the cost at all, I'm not sure. We get the paper daily, and we do use a lot of the coupons.
