Were you frantically looking for your coupon inserts over the Holiday weekend thinking certainly someone took them before you got to your paper?
No, no...hopefully you've found out by now that the Holiday weekend meant there were no coupon inserts.
We had a lot of questions and e-mails about them and it occurred to me that we might need to mention this!
To stay up to date on the coupon insert schedule print or save this schedule for the year!
If you DO happen to miss a week (happens to me more than I'd like to admit), you can always get what you need by purchasing the services of one of the wonderful coupon clipping websites we have linked on our site (and listed below).
Here's a little bit about how they work and why this might be a good answer for you!
They charge a % of the coupon value for handling fees. They do not sell coupons, but rather, they sell their time to clip, sort and store them until you need them. Then they ship them out to you.
A little cash goes a long way when you are purchasing the services of coupon clippers! You can expect to pay about 10% of the coupon's face value in handling fees. Most services have a minimum order of $3-$5 and charge shipping on top of that (very low since you are getting small, lightweight paper)!
We recommend the three linked at the bottom of this post as reputable services and have never had issues ordering or receiving our orders from them.
You might wonder why you would want to order from a clipping service...
Here's an example of one of many instances when I've been able to benefit from these services:
My parents were in town a couple of weeks ago (over a weekend) and I forgot to go out on Sunday to buy extra newspapers...(besides which, the insert selection in my local paper purchased at the store pales in comparison to those in the subscribers papers each week!). On Monday, I logged into my account at one of the clipping services and ordered all of the inserts I missed. It was efficient (I never had to leave the house!) and I got 13 complete inserts for $16 (that included shipping). I would have spent $14 + taxes at the store and had to drive there to get them!
