Thumbs down Please check database before you buy Sunday's paper!!

OK today's inserts really sucked. I get mine on Saturdays. I clipped less than 10 Qs, and maybe one I will actually use (.50/1 huggies wipes). Really, before you waste $1.50 or more per paper, check the couponmom database to view the coupons before you buy this Sunday's paper! You may save more not buying any papers.

This week is not a good week, I always look ahead to help me decide how many papers to buy. I'm hopeful that next week will be better, maybe a P&G insert, plus we will have an off week Thanksgiving weekend!

I got my 3 papers today and will get 1 more delivered tomorrow. I will use the Huggies wipes, plus the Suave coupons are ok, $0.50/1 deodorant will be free someplace that doubles, and I need the kids' product coupons too. 4 papers was worth it to me, but I would not buy more than that. On good coupon weeks I sometimes buy 8-10 papers. I paid with RR at Walgreens anyway, so no OOP cost to me (I spent $35 at Wags this week and had $60RR to spend). At least I know the papers will pay for themselves.

Yep. I always check mine out ahead of time & honestly I haven't bought extras in months & I haven't gone recycling in weeks. If I really want extras I either trade or just buy a lot on Ebay.

My paper is sitting outside right now & I'm debating whether or not to bother to get it until I leave the house again.

Well I only ever buy 2 papers, and I get them on Saturday for .50, so I guess I only wasted $1. I will probably use the wipes Qs though. But alot of my Qs expire 10/31, so my binder will be thinning out then I guess. I am waiting for a bisquick Q, cottonelle, etc. I cannot print Qs as my printer doesn't work. New printer isn't in my budget anytime soon.

I keep forgetting to check the database.
But even a bad week like this had some good Q's for me, like the Bayer meters and Suave. Those meters are a frequent MM at the drugstores and being unemployed I need all the help I can give myself.

I was not impressed with today's coupons. There is nothing I can really use or give away that will be free.
I guess I got spoiled the last few months with the free pet food, air fresheners, etc.
Does anyone know if the coupons get better towards the holidays?

Don't forget the Bayer meters are a mm at walgreens next, $5!
Heck if you all don't want that coupon, you can send it my way

I do think the coupons get better closer to holidays. Might start seeing ones for Stove Top, Butterball, oceanspray cranberries, to name a few. Wait & see, hopefully we get a few good coupon holidays
