Problems when printing coupons?

I have received quite a few comments & emails with readers having issues printing their coupons.  I personally have not had any issues printing, but I asked some of my blogging friends and looked around at other sites for help.  Here are their suggestions:

Trouble installing the coupon activator?

Download the coupon printer. Be sure to “save” it to your desktop and not to a local directory. Do not directly “run” the installer after it is downloaded. Instead, once you have the file saved to your desktop- close each and every window you have open. You should not have any open applications at all. Now try double clicking on installer file on your desktop and going from there.

Trouble printing Bricks coupons?

This is from the site GiveMeNeither:
Sometimes I’ve had problems printing bricks coupons and it just says “please wait” or “please install the coupon printer” when it’s already installed. So frustrating!

I just read a great post on A Full Cup about how to remedy coupons not printing. The problem arises because someone copies a link in Firefox and then when you try to use Internet Explorer to open it the code doesn’t work and vice versa. It’s just a matter of switching a couple lettters in the url code.
Here’s the example given:

This is a Firefox link that gives “please install the coupon printer” message when tried in Internet Explorer.

hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wg&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

Notice the “wg” in the URL.

To make this link work in IE simply change “wg” to “wi” or “vi”
Sometimes they both work. Other times you have to try both to find the one that works. The opposite is true if you want to change a IE link to work in Firefox. Change the 2 letters to “wg”

To print a Bricks coupon in Safari you have to change it to “xs”.
If you want to print a Safari link in IE or Firefox, switch the two letters to “vi” or “wi” for IE or “wg” for Firefox.

IE ~ hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wi&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

IE ~ hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=vi&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

Firefox ~ hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wg&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

Safari ~ hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=xs&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

Once you replace the letters, make sure to hit the return key before hitting print.

Organizing your Coupons

There are many ways to organize your coupons. Here is an explanation of the system I use:

I do NOT cut out all my coupons from the newspaper because I get MULTIPLE papers each week. Instead, I file my coupon inserts by date! Did you know that the date is typed on the spine of the insert? I didn't realize this for months! So, each week, I buy my papers, remove the inserts, and file them in hanging files, by date & insert name. For example, my labels for the paper I get on September 27th would read:

9/27 SS
9/27 RP

I have one folder full of 9/27 Smart Source and another for 9/27 Red Plum inserts.

I also have 2 Coupon Binders. One for FOOD items, one for NON-FOOD items. In my coupon binders, I keep any coupons that have been cut out, blinkies, peelies, printables etc. I use baseball card holders to hold all of my coupons and separate each section with a separator page and label. *tip-always be sure your expiration date is showing so it is easy to remove them as they expire*
You can categorize them however you like, whatever is easiest for you (example: beverages, dairy, breakfast foods, pasta & rice etc)

If you prefer, you could also check out Amazon's coupon organizer section HERE. There are lots of different organizers available to purchase there (or just browse and get ideas)

All about coupons

Where can I find MULTIPLE coupons?

*newspaper delivery, call and see what deals they offer for multiple copies of your paper
*ask friends, family, and neighbors for their coupon inserts
*check recycle bins
*some areas offer discounted Sunday papers midweek (tues or wed)
*coffee shops
*auto repair waiting areas
*bagel or other similar restaurants
*trade with friends, or find a place online to trade

Types of coupons:

*Newspaper Inserts
*Booklets found inside stores
*Peelie Coupons found on products
*Tear pads with coupons - grocery stores & gas stations
*hang tags / wine tags - found on the neck of products
*email manufacturers and ASK for coupons
*internet printables (check the coupon section on my sidebar)
*coupons can be found inside packages after you purchase them

How many papers should I buy?

This would really depend on your goal. How many people are in your family? Are you building a stockpile or are you maintaining one? How much storage space do you have? All of these factors will help you decide how many papers you need.
I have a family of 6 and I usually get 10 papers per week. You can get a preview of what is coming in your Sunday paper HERE. This will help you decide if there are coupons coming that you NEED!
