Coupon Insert Rant

  • Posted on July 12, 2011 at 3:23 AM

I’m late in posting a “preview” of LAST Sunday’s coupon inserts. Yesterday was the first day I felt better. Anyway.. I’m still going to post them, because I need input.  I half understand the premise behind regions getting different coupons. I have a Target.  A friend of mine doesn’t have one close by. I understand some values are different. Different regions have different costs of living. What I don’t understand is out of 40 coupons (yes, I counted them) I got 13 from SmartSource. Out of 40 Redplum I got ten.

No pet coupons. (We have pets in Montana) Only a few cereal coupons. (Who doesn’t eat cereal, I mean really?) No L’Oreal coupons. (We must all be bald and faceless) I could go on and on. It’s bad enough this is my second rant on the subject.

Here is the inserts from Sunday. The ones with * by them and that are bold, are the coupons I got. Next to the expiration date I put what the value was on my coupon. (Redplum was the only one that had differences in value.)

Does anyone know if there is a preview of upcoming coupons per region? It’s frustrating when I see the preview and plan on getting X amount of papers only to be crooked.

PLEASE comment if you have the same issue or if you have suggestions.
