No Coupon Inserts this Sunday

Just a reminder: on holiday weekends, there usually are not any coupon inserts (unless it happens to fall on the first weekend of the month and then sometimes P&G publishes theirs anyway). The manufacturers' thinking behind this? People tend to buy a lot of food/items leading up to a holiday, then they don't buy as much for a while because they have leftovers...therefore the coupons don't get noticed as much.

How Many Newspapers Should I Buy?

As you are getting into couponing, saving money, and being frugal, you may ask, "How many newspapers (coupon inserts) should I buy each week?" A general rule of thumb is to buy 1 set of inserts for each member of your family. I have four people in my family, so my base number of newspapers each week is 4.


Every once in a while, you may want to buy more coupon inserts when there will be a lot of coupons you'll use. So how do you know ahead of time how many newspapers you should buy? There are some blogs that post ahead of time what coupons to expect. I, however, use a great site called Sunday Coupon Preview. Usually by Thursday, they will post all of the coupons expected to be in each insert. You can also look at their list of the insert schedule (which coupon inserts will appear on which weeks).


If you begin to get into coupon trains, and other coupon trading, you may want to consider buying more papers. Be sure to take this expense into account when you're calculating your savings and creating a budget.


When I first started couponing seriously, I tended to over-buy newspapers and end up with a lot of coupons go to waste. Now, I usually buy between 4-6 newspapers depending on the quality of the coupons for that week.


One final thought: if you have several newspapers available in your area, investigate which paper has the best coupons. In my area, there is a local paper that only gets the Red Plum inserts and P&G on a monthly basis. It costs $2 for a Sunday paper. Then there is the Dallas Morning News. It always gets the Smartsource and Red Plum inserts, plus the P&G insert and the new Pepsico insert. It costs $3 for a Sunday paper. To me, it is worth the extra dollar to always get all of the inserts available each week.
