Star News vs. News and Observer

Good morning!


I was very happy with the selections of coupons in today's paper, particularly the Raleigh News and Observer. My Raleigh paper had three inserts- 2 Smart Source and one Red Plum, while my Wilmington paper only had one Red Plum. As we've all seen, this can vary from store to store, even within a city, so let me know if you saw something different.

Wow! As you can see, you would miss out on quite a few of the coupons if you only get the Wilmington paper. The Ball Park coupons are awesome, particularly if you use them with this week's Meal Deal. It would bring the cost down to only $4.89 for the entire meal! Also, Nutrigrain Bars are on sale this week EVIC for $1.97, so if you use the coupon above you would get them for $1.47 each. 

Let's move on to the Smart Source inserts, which for me were only in the Raleigh papers.
