As a reminder, when I list the number of newspapers that I will be buying, I take in to account that I am able to get them at the Dollar Tree for only $1/copy. To find a Dollar Tree near you, click here. Don’t have a Dollar Tree? Check out your local dollar store. Many supermarkets even discount the Sunday paper. I also live in an area where all of the stores double up to $.99 (so a $.75 coupon is actually worth $1.50). If your newspapers are more expensive or you live where they don’t double coupons, you may not find the inserts of the same value as I do! In addition, the value of the coupons vary by area, but I hope that this will serve as a good guideline!
Click here to see the coupons this week. There are 2 inserts: a SmartSource and a RedPlum
Coupons of Note
Arm & Hammer Essentials Laundry Detergent $1/2: A&H Laundry detergent is already less expensive and goes on sale BOGO every few weeks
Banana Nut Cheerios $.75: General Mills has been pretty stingy with the single-box-coupons lately. Hold this for when the stores have GM cereals for $2-$2.50 (which is very often)
Bic Coupons (2 for $2): it is coupons like these combined with ECB deals at CVS that are the reason that I can’t see myself ever paying for razors again!
Capri Sun Sunrise Product $1: I haven’t seen this yet in the stores, but stores have the “regular” Capri Suns on sale for as low as $1.67 often (with Walmart having it at this price most often). However, this could be a product similar to their 100% juice packs which go on sale less frequently.
Fiber One Toaster Pastries $.50: these go on sale 3 for $5 all the time, making them $.66 after doubling.
Finish/Electrasol $2.50: this is a FABULOUS coupon. Target has this on sale for $2.99 very often and some WalMarts have the regular price at $2.97. Electrasol has quite a long shelf life (with the tablets lasting much longer than the gel packs, but even the gel packs will last at least a year!).
Good Earth Premium Coffee $1: this coffee is a little pricier than other “higher-end grocery store coffees”, but it does go BOGO fairly frequently
Huggies Coupons: plenty of higher-value coupons, including the first ones of the year for Little Swimmers items (that I have seen)
Kraft Bagel-fuls $.75: I see these for $2-$2.50 all the time
Ortega Products $.75/2: I save these for when the seasoning packets (taco, fajita, chili) are on sale for under $1 and get them practically free
Reynolds Wrap Foil from 100% Recycled Aluminum $.55: this is a new product and Reynolds seems to be really pushing it. Should make for some good sales!
Right Guard, Dry Idea or Soft & Dry $1: CVS has been having really good deals on this lately that should make it free or even a moneymaker
Sensodyne $.75 (2 coupons): if you need this kind of toothpaste (which I do), you will appreciate this coupon! I see this on sale for about $2 all the time.
Steamfresh Vegetable or Rice $1/2: this goes 10 for $10 all the time
Target coupons: all of these are pretty good and you can stack them with a manufacturers coupon!
V8 V-Frusion Juice $1: there is a great deal at Acme this week that, using this coupon as well as the in-ad coupon, will get it for you for only $.99 (note: Acme is part of the Albertson’s Family of stores, so look for a similar deal at Albertsons, Shaw’s, Jewel-Osco, Save-a-lot & Cub in the next week)
Yoplait Coupons: the multipacks go on sale for $2 all the time and I have seen a ton of sales where the single cups are as low as $.50 each lately
Clairol Natural Instincts haircolor $4: Rite Aid has been having Single Check Rebate deals on this fairly frequently
Herbal Essences Shampoos, Conditioners or Stylers $2/2: Rite Aid has a deal starting Sunday that will get these for $1 each after SCR and this coupon. CVS often has better deals on this (but nothing right now). Worst case scenario, you hold on to this until a 50% off or BOGO sale
HillShire Farms Coupons $1/2: It seems like these are BOGO every other week!
McCormick Grill Mates Blend $1/2: we just had our first “neighborhood barbeque” of the season last night. Barbeque Season is here, so look for some great sales!
Pedigree Treats for Dogs $1: I see these 3 for $5 or even 10 for $10 all the time
So how many copies of the paper would I buy?
If I were building a stockpile: 8-10
Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode: 6-10
Why so many? The Electrasol coupon is a great one (and pays for the cost of the newspaper alone). I am still well-stocked on it, but considering the extraordinary long shelf-life of the tablets, I don’t see any reason not to continue to stockpile it as long as they are practically giving it away. My children LOVE Capri Suns and coupons for those are VERY rare. As for the Herbal Essences coupon: there is not one time that they have had this coupon that I haven’t been able to turn it in to free shampoo!

There is a Target coupon online for Capri Sun ($1 off) that could be stacked w/the manufacturers coupon- assuming Target will carry that new kind!
I have seen the CapriSun Sunrise at Giant. :)
Mindi, I did not realize Dollar Tree sells Sunday papers! There happens to be one I can hit on the way home from church.
My Sunday morning coin purse thanks you!
I would love to know what region you are in for these coupons…My paper did have two inserts, but I didn’t have a single Huggies coupon, nor did I have the Electrasol coupon. I’m bummed! I really need to stock up on dishwasher detergent.
Duh, I just see that you are Philly area, too…Now I am extra bummed that my paper was missing these :/
Bay – if you can get the Philadelphia Inquirer, they usually have the full list of coupons. The inserts will vary a bit for the smaller papers…..even “larger smaller papers”….The Times Herald (Norristown) and The Mercury (Pottstown) are two of my choices here, and they don’t always get all the coupons!
