I love to read the Sunday newspaper, but I mainly buy it for the coupons. Our Sunday paper now cost $2. So I have to really make sure that the coupons are worth it.
I always check Taylor Town Preview Saturday night or Sunday morning before we leave for church. Unfortunately, coupons vary by region, so I don’t always get every coupon listed. I can still tell if it is worth it to buy the paper this week, though. I often buy more than one, it there are a lot of good coupons that week. I have been known to buy 5 at a time.
I always stand there and look through each paper that I’m going to buy and make sure they all have the same number of inserts that Taylor Town Preview said was going to be out that week. I hate it when I buy the paper for the coupons, then come home to find some of them missing.
You can also check out Sunday Coupon Preview. I just noticed they list the coupons that will be in the Parade magazine, also. That’s helpful, as they often have good coupons.
Of course, I then put them in my coupon binder. And don’t forget your electronic coupons!

I'm a big coupon clipper too. I found the best ones seem to come out the very first Sunday of the month. Is that true where you live too?
Yes, there are always more coupons the first Sunday of the month.
