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 what coupons there are this week.  There are 2 inserts:  a SmartSource and a RedPlum

Coupons of Note

A1 Steak Sauce or Marinade $2:  I can’t remember the last time I saw this high of a value coupon on A1!

Claussen Pickles $.75:  these go BOGO and at a drastically reduced price fairly often and should be on sale more often now that it is getting close to “cookout season”

French’s Mustard $.50:  these go on sale for $1 all the time, making them free after doubling

Kraft Salad Dressing $1.50:  use this to get the smaller size bottles free or close-to-free

Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs $1/2:  hold on to this for a BOGO sale.  There was also a Target coupon for OM hot dogs that came out in the inserts a few weeks ago that can be stacked with this

Ronzoni Bistro Item $1:  I see these 3 for $5 all the time

Sweet Baby Ray’s $1:  last summer these went on sale for $1-$1.25 very regularly

Harvest Selections Microwaveable Meal $1 and $3/5:  these are fairly new and should be part of some good sales

Nivea Body Wash FREE wyb Nivea My Silhouette or Sun-Kissed Beautiful Legs (2 coupons):  these will probably be part of some good deals at CVS/RiteAid/Wags

SuperPretzel $.75:  these go on sale for $2 all the time, making them $.50 after doubling

So how many copies of the paper would I buy?

If I were building a stockpile:  4-6

Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode:  3-4
