Star News vs. News and Observer!


 The time has come once again to compare the two newspapers to see which offers more coupons! Already it is the first of the month, so for couponers first of the month means one thing- The Proctor and Gamble Insert is out!


This is a particularly important week to buy the Sunday paper because next week is Labor Day, which means no coupons. No coupon inserts come out on holidays, so you don't want to miss out today. Let's see what coupons are available in each paper and determine which is more worth your money this week!

Total Value of Raleigh News and Observer Coupons: 232.35

Once again, the Raleigh News and Observer is the best bang for your buck this month! The Star News had some pretty good coupons, including some from Walgreens that can only be used there. Those can also be combined with manufacturer's coupons for additional savings. Even so, I would still opt for the Raleigh paper since it contained most of the ones from the Wilmington paper and more. Personally, I bought one of the Wilmington and two of the Raleigh papers this week. 

One last tip- if you like the coupons that are in the Raleigh paper, this is a great week to get multiple copies of it since next week you will not be buying any newspapers due to the holiday coming up next weekend. 


The battle of the papers will resume in two weeks!
