Where do I get all my coupons?

I have recently been asked by several people where do I get all my coupons.  Now realize that I have been doing coupons for several years and find coupons almost any where.  ( I even found some when we where in Hawaii last year)

First off, the Sunday paper.  I have the Oregonian delivered and send my son over to Walmart and he picks me up a couple Statesman Journals ( they are only a $1 each).  This is a great place to get coupons.  Some I use that week but others I save until there is a really good sale.

Next I have several printable sites that I print coupons off of.  They are
coupons.com,
smartsource.com
and redplum.com
There are also the manufacturers sites that many times have coupons and facebook has increasingly become a really good place for coupons.

There are also lots of coupons at the stores.  The stores have coupons on the product( many couponers call them peelies, there are coupons on the shelves that are called blinkies or tearpads and then there are coupon booklets that are put out by the store.  These are really good ways to get lots of good value coupons.  I will pick up a few almost anytime that I go to the store.  Now with these kind of coupons there are ethical issues that many times arise.  Everyone wants the good deals, it is not fair to take all the coupons ( unless there are only a couple left) or peel off coupons that are on specific items( these are meant for whomever is buying that product).  Many times I will pick up coupons at the store and not use them until a couple of weeks down the road when the items goes on sale.

Last but not least I will trade with friends that have coupons for items that I use and give them coupons for items that I won't use. 

This is how I get a stockpile of coupons so that I am able to buy things for the lowest price.
