These are different from the sites that sell coupons; they are strictly barter. You simply join the forum and post a message saying what you’re looking for and what you have to offer. I got tons of great coupons this way. I used to feel bad throwing out all the coupons I never used, and this was a great way to avoid that while also gaining coupons I did use! Lately I’ve gotten too busy to do coupon trading anymore, but if you are organized with your coupons, it’s a fantastic addition to your frugal living techniques.

Online coupon clipping services are a bit of a gray area in my opinion, so I don't use them or encourage them. It's against the law to sell coupons, so the coupon clipping sites slide around the law by saying they are selling the actually clipping work rather than the coupons themselves. I guess I have a hard time with that reasoning since I would also be receiving the actual coupons that I didn't own before too. And those coupons are the very thing I would want/need, not someone to clip them out for me. <br /><br />I know people have different opinions on whether these services are legit or not. But since I'm just a bit uncomfortable with them personally, I don't participate. It can be tempting though since buying coupons could save you loads of money in the long run.<br /><br />Dana Anon- Good questions!

Is this a good value considering you don't have to pay for the newspaper? If so, which of the sites do you recommend?
