Just Found This Neat Little Treasure...

I just found this great website where yo can buy whole or individual coupon inserts. You can also buy jumbo packs for $30. I guess you would have to weigh your options whether to buy newspapers or use a coupon clipping service or this particular insert service. http://www.wholecouponinserts.com/
Happy Couponing!!! :)

Some Stores Are Changing Coupon Policies

I have been seeing on several news broadcasts that some of the larger chains such as Target, Walmart,and some other larger grocery and retail stores may be changing their coupon policies because of the "extreme couponing" that is sweeping the US. In these difficult times many households depend on saving with coupons and the extreme savers could be jeopardizing the standard consumers who use coupons weekly just to provide for their families and don't stockpile hundreds or even thousands of items in their homes. Please click on the following link to see one of the news reports. http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/coupon-shopping-food-market-save-customers-retailers-13609257

On a good note, our local stores such as County Pride, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Reeds Pharmacy, Rite Aid and CVS still have their same coupon policies in place. Even though only County Pride doubles their coupons up to $.49, to me it makes perfect sense to stay in our immediate area to save instead of driving a half an hour to an hour somewhere else and paying close to $4.00 a gallon of gas. To me that is not saving...

In my next entry I will hopefully have complete coupon policies for each store in our community....try to stay cool in this heat!! :)
