You can go through bins!! Once they put them to the curb you are allowed to!!! I do it everyweek and find the greatest coupons that way. I found 4 sets of the allbran box coupons today. good for me because I don't eat the stuff. I always find cereal box coupons, inserts, pins. If you don't feel right about going try going with a buddy. It helps with the nerves lol.
