2 coupon inserts this week

This week there will be 2 coupon inserts in Sunday’s paper.  The Red Plum and the Smart Source.  I am always asked how I know what coupons will be in the paper in advance.  I answered that question here.  Please remember that not all areas get both inserts, and the insert will vary from area to area.  So check your local paper to see which inserts they carry.

If you are local to Idaho ( Boise/ Caldwell area) and want to get the best price on the paper check out my “A Thrifty Mom Paper Deal”  you will be able to get multiple Sunday papers for only .60 cents each.  To read all the details click here.  Also if you want in on the deal before Sunday, you have to call Greg (870-2784) before 1:00 today (Thursday).  They are branching out, and trying to deliver to more areas.  If your area is not in there delivery map, you can still call Greg and let him know you want the Idaho Press Tribune in your area.  With enough calls they will be able to serve a larger area!

Babies “R” Us $5 coupon

A new coupon came out today good at Babies “R” Us.  It is  for $5 off a $25 purchase.  If you shop there, this a a great coupon to take along with you!  To print yours click here.

 

No coupons in Sundays Paper

On most Holiday weekends there are no coupon inserts.  I know how sad!  I just wanted to give you a heads up.   So go find some Easter eggs, spend time with you family, and take the day off from clipping those Sunday coupons!

COUPON POLICY – Local Stores UPDATE 3/11

I get a lot of questions about coupons, and company policy.  So this week I called around, and talked to the Customer Service in each store asking them what their coupon policy’s are.  I must warn you most cashier have no idea what the coupon policy is in their store.  It is so important to be informed, and be an educated coupon shopper.  Some stores are a little more coupon friendly than others.  If you get a crabby cashier that acts like you are robbing the store, for using coupons.  Remember the store DOES get paid back for your coupons from the manufacturer. A coupon is just like paying with cash.  It just comes from the manufacturer, not you.
