I am really disappointed to see you encourage people to use the ecoupons with paper coupons. They are both manufacturer coupons, and even though it "will go through" the sites for these coupons explicitly state that you aren't supposed to use them together. I would love to see Christian couponers really taking a stand to ethically coupon and save. Even though the deals may not be quite as good I know that God will bless us for doing what is right, and not what we can get by with.

Crystal, from what I understand, the companies want you to use your coupons, even if it's along with a paper coupon. I've not seen the documentation you're referring to. If you read the article by Southern Savers, you'll see that she actually interviewed the companies. She posted the results of her interview, and from the information she got from the company, she realized that it's not unethical. Here's her post: http://www.southernsavers.com/2009/01/using-e-coupons-paper-coupons/

I do try to coupon ethically. If I know that something is against the rules, I don't do it. Christian or not, we all need to play by the rules. So you're right on that one.
