You would use a coupon database, such as the one found here:
You can search by product name or brand. So, to take our example, I would enter 'Shout' - the coupon database tells me that there was a $0.55/1 coupon in the 7.10.11 Smart Source insert. Note, however, that the database doesn't list EVERY coupon in existence. If you get one with a product sample, it probably won't be in the database. It does, however, list All You coupons and Internet printables. Hope that helps!
Okay ~ here it comes! It has been suuuuuper crazy here because the landlords are finally fixing some things. I've had all kinds of maintenance men and contractors tromping in and out of here, and it's been a mess! I did want, however, to give you a breakdown on my Sunday trip. Also, I had a great trip yesterday. The breakdown on that one will be coming this afternoon or tomorrow morning! Ready? Here we go!
