I love it when the last Sunday of the month does not mean the last day to use coupons. This month (April 2012), we are quite lucky to still have technically 2 more days to use coupons that expire on April 30 – mostly P&G coupons…look for May P&G coupons next weekend (also Kentucky derby weekend).
Pick up your weekend paper, cut, strategize with your April 30 coupons and go save!
I finally received my first issue to All You Magazine with a coupon (of course) in the mail yesterday. I couldn’t pass it up for only 1 dollar an issue. You can only buy this magazine at Walmart for about 2 dollars, or get a subscription.
Although there are plenty of coupons in the issue (April 27), I found the articles and recipes more interesting and helpful. This is a magazine for couponers, but it is definitely targeted toward women.
Pick up a copy or click on the AllYou link for a special deal of 30 issues for $25 – especially if you do not have a Saturday or Sunday paper with weekly coupons.

Happy Couponing!
Avid coupon clipper? I am clipping coupons every week from the newspaper and some online sites too; however, I don’t use every coupon from the circulars. I don’t like throwing them in the recycle pile…so what else can I do with them?
I have found 3 useful ways to recycle coupons without putting them in the paper recycling bin.
1. Cut out all coupons from your weekly circulars. Separate the ones you are most likely to use, then save the other ones to send with expired coupons to military families overseas. They will appreciate unexpired coupons as well.
2. Join a coupon swap group. Coupon swapping has become more popular in the last few years with the fluctuating economy. Local libraries often have coupon swap group meetings once a month or more often. I had to Google search “coupon swap group + city” to find something nearby. Keep your unused coupons for a coupon swap, hopefully you’ll be able to swap and find coupons that you’ll use.
3. Ask friends, neighbors and family. I save coupons for my mom and in-laws and friends who I know could utilize the coupons. Ask what family and friends what type of cat food or toilet paper they use most often and offer them those coupons that you find. You may just get them hooked on couponing too.
