If you’ve watched TLC’s Extreme Couponing show, you have seen extreme couponers use coupon clipping services to get additional coupons to score a massive stockpile of products.

What is a coupon clipping service?

A coupon clipping service clips coupons for you so that you can get multiples of the same coupon easily. So if you want 10 coupons for $1 off dishwashing liquid, you won’t have to look for or buy 10 Sunday papers to get it.

Then they mail the coupons for you within a few days. You pay for the service, not the coupon.

Reasons to use a coupon clipping service:

• You don’t want to buy more Sunday papers to get more coupons on a particular product. And for this reason alone, coupon clipping services can be cheaper than buying additional papers.
• Not all areas have the same coupons and you want the coupons with the best deal. (I’ve seen a $1 off dishwashing liquid coupon offered in another area, which made the product free with a store sale. But in my area, the coupon in the Sunday paper was only for 50 cents off!)
• You don’t want to spend money on expensive ink cartridges to print coupons.
• There’s a limit on the amount of coupons you can print online, usually only 2 copies of each coupon.
• You live in a small town that doesn’t accept printable coupons.
• You don’t have time to look through the paper and clip coupons.
• You want to get more coupons easily.

How does a coupon clipping service work?

Choose from a selection of recent coupons, laid out in shopping cart style. The coupons will have a handling fee of 5 cents and up per coupon, depending on the value of the coupon.

Coupon clipping services can’t charge you for the coupon itself, just the service of clipping the coupons and maintaining the website.

A shipping fee is added to your order. Then they will mail it to you within a few days, depending on how far away you are and which shipping option you choose.

If you don’t want to choose coupons every week, then try a coupon subscription service, listed at the end of this list.

Tips on choosing the best coupon clipping service:

• Beware of the coupon expiration date.
• Go with a coupon clipping service closest to you for faster shipping.
• Decide on how many coupons you want to order. If you tend to order a lot, then maybe the subscription option may work better for you.
