What a difference a day makes

So, you know how I said that coupons aren't exactly my thing. Well, that was before Fry's Foods started valuing all manufacturer's coupons as $1. So that piddly little $0.25 coupon you barely thought was worth the time to get up, find the scissors and cut out, is now worth a buck! Well at least for a limited time or at least a week, whichever ends first.

Now, if you, like me, do not have a large stockpile of coupons just waiting for an opportunity like this, don't fret. I have some suggestions. First off, you can go directly to many manufacturers' websites and find printable coupons, but an even better solution is to hop on over to Teri's website, The Grocery Game. At that page, she's got links to a ton of places where you can get printable coupons.

If you live in the East Valley (Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert, Chandler), you may have found yourself the unsuspecting recipient of free copies of the East Valley Tribune thrown willy-nilly on to your driveway. Well, don't throw it out. Or at least, don't throw it out before you check to see if there are any coupon inserts in there. Coupons without having to subscribe to the newspaper? Sweet.
