For some people the concept of buying coupons sounds crazy because your wanting to get products for FREE. When you buy a coupon then essentially the product is not FREE unless overage is involved. There's different reasons to buy coupons. First, your an extreme couponer and 238 tubes of toothpaste is just not enough! Second, your donating to charity. Third, you do not get a paper and choose to buy all coupons and not collect or dumpster dive for them. And lastly, your ordering coupons you did not get in your local paper! DING DING DING! That one fits me and a little bit of number 2 as well.
There is a strategy to buying coupons also if you want to get the best ones that sell out quick. For example, all the coupon buying websites were sold out of the Iams $3 coupon before Sunday morning even came. This is because the company that sells the coupons gets them around Friday and may even list them up for sale on Friday. I'm sure you have seen the comic/ad section of the paper sitting in the gas station on Saturday and you drool over wanting to take a peek. These websites are just the same. They order 2,000 newspapers and literally cut out each coupon to sell. You can usually find out what coupons will be in the paper by Wednesday or Thursday by going
HERE. A seasoned couponer can look at the list and know what coupons will go fast which are usually any coupon that will equal a FREE product. It's kind of like bidding on eBay where you need to sit at your computer waiting for the sites to list the coupon and be one of the first to get yours.
Below is a list of all the different coupon buying sites that I know of. I've made some notes of which ones I've used and my experience with them as well. Check the very bottom of this post for all my "beware of" when buying coupons as well. Also, please note that each of these sites may have different coupons because they are located in different areas of the country. You may have to shop around to find a company that has the coupon you want or the higher value coupon. Sometimes I order coupons from 2 different companies in the same week.

I have used this company for years. Recently is seems that it takes almost 7 days to get my coupons which is too long for me so I've switched to a different company now. But this company does let you buy all you want, no limits.

This site has pretty quick shipping. The draw back is that she does limit you to a quantity of 10 but this also helps at times too because she will often have stock left where other sites have sold out.

This is my new favorite site. They have quick shipping, great prices and no limits. They also sell whole inserts.

I love her site and she has great prices. She bundles coupons in 20 though so you can't buy just 4 or 10. But her prices are good and she ships quick.

Now to the "BEWARE OF" section when it comes to buying coupons. I always advise people to not buy internet printed coupons because of how much fraud there is with it. You don't know if the person who printed the coupon has committed fraud by making photo copies or some other means. Also, eBay is a popular place to buy coupons and is usually the most expensive place as well. You may pay twice there what you would at one of the sites above. I have never bought coupons on eBay because of that but there are hundreds of listings including that $3 off Iams coupon. I'm just going to go dumpster dive for mine!
