If you want to shop and save with local coupons, you are not alone. These coupons can save you a lot of money at stores in your area. Here are 6 of the best places to find them:

1) Newspaper inserts
Obviously, everyone knows there are inserts with local coupons in the Sunday paper from large chains in your area. However, a lot of people do not realize that many newspapers provide the same coupons during the week as well. Most include a 2nd copy of the Sunday coupons during a select day, often during the middle of the week. Be certain you go through the ads and sales papers of your local paper, and see what you can find.

2) Online coupon sites
Internet printable coupons are very popular today. There are plenty of sites with a database of free coupons to print, and you can find 1,000s of listings at these sites.
In many instances, you can search based on your zip code and the specific company(s) you want. These sites can help you find plenty of great free printable coupons that will save you money.

3) eBay
eBay is another excellent source of coupons. However, be careful when buying coupons here. Many times sellers will have a huge amount of coupons for particular stores. Also, make sure you check the expiration date for the coupons. If you find 100 coupons for your favourite store, do not buy them unless you are sure the expiration date is a long time in the future. Otherwise, you could waste a lot of money on a huge amount of coupons you never get to use.

4) Follow a coupon blog
Many companies will provide coupons for their products in email newsletters. However, in a lot of cases, you will end up with so many emails that it can be hard to keep track of them all. If you have signed up for the newsletters of the companies you are interested in but are getting too many emails to keep up with, then one thing you might want to do is follow a coupon blog.

There are some blogs online that will post the coupons for you, so you do not have to sort through 100s of different emails. You just go to one location and print out the coupons you want. This will save you time.

5) Magazines
Industry-specific magazines are a great place to search for coupons. Therefore, going through these magazines is often a great way to find coupons that will save you money.

6) Local coupons in coupon-specific magazines
Often times local coupon magazines are the best places to search for various coupons in your area. These magazines provide coupons for a variety of different places, and if you find enough of them then the investment in these magazines are definitely worth it.
