Default 2 questions in one post Re coupons & multiple cards

Okay, so as not to post to many questions, I thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone
1) How do some of ya'll get so many coupons! I'm talking about 10 or more of the same coupon. The only sources I know of are A) Sunday paper, but buying lots of those gets expensive B) Family/friends, but that doesn't get you 10 or 20 of the same coupons C) Recycle bin, but that is a lot of work, and I have never had much luck with that method.

2) Is there an official answer (yeah I know, each CS rep gives a different answer lol) on how many cards one person can have. I would love to apply for another card, but don't want to be shady if it's not allowed.

1) I trade for mine through various other groups. There are also clipping sites where you can pay a handling fee for coupons.

2) I think most of us have cards for husbands, etc. No one has ever given me a hard time about the 2 cards I have. I have a hard time managing all the ecbs though, especially with all the issues with the new system.

HTH!

There is no limit to how many cards one person can have. Just dont confuse your Extrabucks.. each extabuck/coupon is linked to one card. Also you can only use one card per transaction.

I get my coupons by buying multiples of the Sunday paper. I just count the cost as part of my food budget. I pay $1.65 per paper, but get at least $10 out of every one, so it makes sense to me. I also trade for other coupons I might not have gotten in my own inserts.
