where do you find your coupons?

i get asked many times where i find coupons. honestly, i find them everywhere. every thursday we receive flyers at our home. i go through each one to see what i could use and stock up. i check out whats good for the week and see if its worth it. i also go on www.brandsaver.com and pick out coupons that i would like them to send me and they get mailed within the next week. at my nearest grocery store they always have coupons near the entrance way. i scan the coupon wall and take multiples of what i need/want. my aunt also puts her flyers aside for me for when i go to her house. once i receive those, i scan them and clip any coupons i find that would be useful. one of the best ways i found to use coupons is at shoppers drug mart especially when they have their "spend $50.00 and get 20X the points. check out all the deals. always have your coupons on hand. you will score big when they have a sale on an item and you have a coupon for that item. when you check out you receive a massive amount of optimum points. optimum points add up quickly and you can redeem them anytime. another way that i get coupons is calling up the company. they will send you coupons if you tell them you would like to try their product. start saving with coupons because they help a whole lot. when you only use one, you don't really notice how much you save. once multiple of coupons are used, and points are redeemed to make your purchases, you will see how much you can get without spending a penny out of your pocket. 

my story

this is the story to the reason why i started to save and how i started to save. when i was in college with credit cards, i put everything on my credit cards such as all the books and any supplies i needed for school. although, i did work during the time i was in school, i would go out and have lunch at different places downtown. the worst part of all is that i would shop til i dropped and couldn't save a thing. after school was done, i have accumulated a large amount of debt not on just one credit card but i had 3 credit cards. its been a couple months now and i figured that i needed to grow the fuck up. i needed to start saving for my future. my relationship is getting pretty serious so if i plan for any future wedding bells or anything in that line, i don't want to be that girl who didn't save a dime and relied on her boyfriend. i have been using coupons like crazy, using points cards throughout different stores and stocking up with good deals. not only that but i have started budgeting all my expenses.
