Important Note

So today I learned something important.

After I finally bought a Sunday newspaper because I was so frustrated that my GOOD circular did not come in. (I grab one at home and 1 at a friends house. My friends house is the actually GOOD one as it has all the inserts, mine is the BAD one because it doesn’t contain all of them.) I learned not only do the coupons in circular packets vary neighborhood by neighborhood but the actual inserts also vary between circular and newspaper.

By far, newspapers are your best best for all coupons. My Smart Source insert in the circular packet had LESS coupons than the equivalent news paper insert and it was even different by the pages too!

Remember Manufacturers have the right to vary the coupons that arrive in your circular packet based on neighborhoods and also vary the coupons that come in newspapers vs circulars too. So don’t think that you were really only supposed to get 1 insert this week. It was actually 3!

To keep track of how many inserts you should have, here’s a guide (it’s subject to change):
