Star News vs. News and Observer Round Five!


Well, it really isn't even a competition at this point, but for lack of a better title, I decided to do a round five against the Star News and News and Observer papers. The Raleigh paper did have more coupons, although there were a few different ones in the Wilmington paper that were not in the Raleigh paper. I personally bought two of the Raleigh and one Wilmington this morning. If you need help finding the Raleigh paper, see Where to find the Raleigh News and Observer in Southeastern NC to help you.

Below is a list of the coupons that came in each paper this morning!

Total Value of Raleigh Coupons: $203.25

Total Value of Wilmington Paper Coupons: $99.10


Well, again the Raleigh Newspaper had way more dollar value than the Wilmington Star Newspaper coupons today! There were $104.15 more dollar value in coupons in the Raleigh paper than the Wilmington paper, so dollar-for-dollar it is the best value.

I will say that if you want the variety you might want to buy both newspapers. For example, all the Betty Crocker, Yoplait and General Mills coupons and Pillsbury coupons were only in the Wilmington paper today, not the Raleigh paper.


We will meet again next week for another battle of the papers!

  1. Hi Delly,
    I must say I am quite impressed that you sit down each week to type out ALL the coupons in your post! Quick question: I'm thinking I could use that 55 cent off Smuckers coupon on the 2/$4.00 grape Jelly that is on sale at HT this week? Which would make the jelly under $1.00! Correct me if I'm not right on this.
