I’ve received many, many e-mails from readers that they have purchased papers that didn’t have all of the coupon inserts or someone has STOLEN all of the coupon inserts from the newspaper…. First rule: Check your paper before you leave the store.
Be sure to purchase a newspaper that subscribes to all of the coupon inserts. Some papers only subscribe to Smart Source or Red Plum and not both. If you did not receive all of your coupons or they are damaged call the newspaper and request a replacement.
If you are not sure what you are looking for then click on the Sunday Coupon Preview on this blog each week to find out what you can expect in your paper. I generally do an UPDATE again on Saturday.
Order multiple subscriptions so you don’t have to go out and buy papers. If your paper gives you a hard time, put the subscriptions in other peoples names in your home. They don’t need to know that you want them for coupons – it isn’t their business! Most papers will allow a subscription to weekend only editions and if you’re calling the paper be sure to ask about special sign up offers!

I KNOW exactly how she feels & when you are anxiously awaiting your paper only to have the disappointment of NO COUPONS!! Just this past weekend someone “stole” all of the coupons out of all of the papers @ Walgreens & Publix!!! This lady is my new best friend because she got it on tape!!!!
