No Sunday Inserts

Remember---there will be NO SUNDAY INSERTS in the 7/5/09 paper because of the holiday. So, relax, enjoy your weekend and have a Happy 4th of July!

Junk Mail

My sister gets a junk mail "packet" (all the sale ads, restaurant coupons, etc.) in a Red Plum sleeve but doesn't get the Red Plum or P&G inserts with it. She has tried like crazy to get on that list. A couple of weeks ago I was at the post office buying stamps. I saw people getting mail from their post office boxes and each one had a junk mail packet in it. It got me thinking...what if we go directly to the post office ask about the junk mail. The next day I went back to the post office with my friend Suzanne. Each of us went in separately and asked if they had any extra junk mail packets. The lady I spoke to went and checked then brought me one. The man that Suzanne talked to wanted to know her address. He knew which postal worker had that route, told her she was scheduled to receive one and that she should check her mail when she got home. It was a good lesson for us...if you DON'T get Red Plum & P&G inserts I would definitely go directly to the post office and ask if they have an extra one or at least give them your address and say that you would like to get them. Maybe if there is enough requests for them someone will get the hint and make sure we ALL get the inserts in our junk mail. If I had my way, I would prefer to get all the inserts in my Sunday paper. That way I'd have 4 of each!!

NO Inserts Today

Just a friendly reminder there were NO inserts in your newspapers today due to the Easter holiday.

Inserts!

Whew! A whole week has passed and I have no great shopping trips to share. I do, however, have some great insert info. Sunday's Smart Source insert was thicker than usual which made me super excited to have 4 newspaper subscriptions with 4 inserts. Then today in the junk mail there were 3 yes, I repeat--3-- inserts! I'm still trying to get over the excitement from that. I've heard there should be 2 inserts in this Sunday's (4/5) paper. This is because Sunday 4/12 is Easter and there will be no inserts that day or in the junk mail next week. See...those coupon making people do care about us! I'm still scanning the sale ads to see what looks good and anxiously awaiting the new Grocery Smarts lists.

Red Plum-NO...P&G-YES!

Don't worry if you don't see a Red Plum in your junk mail this week. There won't be one. (see 2009 Coupon Insert Schedule) I did get a P&G Brandsaver in my junk mail yesterday along with the sale ads. It's dated 3/15 which is strange because we normally date them for the upcoming Sunday. I'm not complaining--I love P&G coupons. As a matter of fact on Monday I received my $120 P&G coupon booklet from the "Year of Savings" promo. (click HERE for post) It's a thick booklet with great coupons. Unfortunately the promo is over now but hopefully they'll have another for us again soon.

Sunday Paper COUPONS!

Sunday was an AWESOME day for those of us who subscribe to the RJ! Why? Two inserts: SmartSource and a P&G Brandsaver. It was seriously like Christmas for me with the P&G in my papers. These are much sought after coupons which usually show up in our junk mail so we are limited to one insert. (for those of us who are lucky enough to even get them in the mail) Now I have 4 P&G inserts!!! Yippee! The only other time I had a P&G insert in my RJ Sunday paper was back in November. Now we really need to use up those coupons and then maybe P&G will get the hint we really need their insert in our papers instead of the junk mail.
