No Coupon Inserts This Weekend

Well it is an official holiday weekend so there are no Red Plum, Smart Source or any other special coupon inserts on Sunday. Bummer! No new coupons... But then again, it gives all coupon collectors time to organize their collections.

Spread the word, especially to the coupon newbies...

Sunday inserts:

P&G = Procter & Gamble Sunday insert
RP = RedPlum Sunday insert
SS = SmartSource Sunday insert

When a coupon is from a Sunday insert and sometimes there is information where to find the coupon beside it in parentheses. For example, (SS 12/14/08) would indicate that a coupon came from a SmartSource insert that was distributed in the 12/14/08 Sunday newspaper.
