{What is a coupon? What is a Manufacture Coupon? What is a Store Coupon?}
A coupon is a ticket or document that can be exchanged for a financial discount or rebate when purchasing a product. They are distributed through the mail, coupon envelopes (Value Pak), magazines (All You, Food, Ebony, Better Homes and Gardens, etc.), newspapers (Sunday’s newspaper) and the internet (online coupon codes).
Manufacture Coupons
*Released
by the company/brand that makes a particular product. Mostly found in your Sunday newspaper inserts
(Smart Source, RedPlum, General Mills,
Proctor & Gamble and sometimes Pepsi-co.).
It will say Manufacture coupon at the top and have a redemption address
and instructions to retailers on where to send the coupon for reimbursement.

Question: How many different types of coupons have you seen or familiar with? Which coupon do you use the most? Were you aware of store and internet coupons?
Happy Couponing,

P.P.S. We are getting close to a great giveway! Stay tuned.
I've used all different types of coupons. I don't really like having to print ones out from online. My biggest problem is forgetting to use them once I get to the store!
The only place that I know of around here that doubles coupons is Harris Teeter. I have gotten some really good deals there doing that, but overall their prices are quite a bit higher so you really have to make sure it will BE a deal

I have used both kinds. I love Target because I can use both coupons at the same time. I use Kroger for my groceries and the one by me still doubles and triples coupons so I save so much.
Target definitely has some great deals when you can use both their store coupon + a manufacture coupon. I wish my Kroger triple the coupons {I probably would never leave the store} lol! Thanks Kathy ~ Quida
I feel like I miss out on a lot of coupons because I don't have a printer…. so I am saving up Amazon codes until I can afford to get one. My mom and my Grandma pass along their coupon inserts to me after they look through them, and neither of them cuts out many, so I get all of those

Hopefully you will have one soon Sherri and you never know what you may find here in one of my giveaways!
It is good that you are getting some free coupons from your mother and grandmother. That is a savings and you may consider asking in your neighborhood to individuals who are not using their coupons. ~ Quida
You are the one I learned about peelies and store coupon books from!
I use store coupons and internet, load your store card coupons mostly. Sunday paper ones when I can afford to buy the paper!
Thanks for this series! I am loving it!
Wonderful Terri! I am glad that you are learning some great savings tips from SSFAM.
I'm aware of those types of coupons. I just came across Kroger's digital coupons about a month ago and absolutely love them! In the past when i've tried coupons, i would always forget them at home and would be so mad that i would have to pay full price, but with the digital coupons all you need is your kroger card, which i keep in my wallet or keychain, so they're always there! The only bad thing is not having them to look at right in front of your eyes, but it's well worth it!
The digital coupons on Kroger.com are great to use also. A great way to remember your coupons Jennifer is to consider gathering all the ones you want and place them in either an envelope in your purse or a hand held coupon organizer but place your grocery store card inside. This way when you get to the grocery store you will have to remember where you have your card and bam – it will be with your coupons.

I am aware of both types of coupons and use manufacture coupons the most. The grocery store I use most often is Meijer. They use catalina's more often than a store coupon. Although they also participate in MPerks, which are digital coupons.
Great and thanks for sharing Janelle. I have heard of Meijer's but I have not seen one here in Atlanta.
