Star News vs. News and Observer


Good morning! Sorry for the late report this morning. I had a workshop that I left at 9:00 p.m. last night and after a couple of stops home I didn't get in until 10 p.m., during which time I helped my hubby put the kids to bed, had some dinner and unwinded a bit. So, I did sleep in this morning.


I went to two stations to check both papers and I found one Red Plum insert in both the Raleigh News and Observer and the Wilmington Star News. Let's take a closer look and compare the two!


The Raleigh Paper had coupons for the following products:


Loreal, haircolor, Loreal Paris Skincare, Loreal Paris Youthcode, Loreal Paris Face Product, Meow Mix, Dial Lotion, Dermasilk, Tylenol Precise, Quaker Soft Baked Bars, Superpretzel, Nestle or Wonka Candies, Pop Secret, Krave Cereal, Keebler Cookies, Kelloggs All-Bran, Smart Start, RAisin Bran or Fiber Plus Cereals, Centrum, Advil Cold/Congestion, Advil Children's, Robitussin, ICool, Gain Detergents or Fabric Softener, Cheer Detergent, Covergirl, Swiffer Handle Duster, Swiffer Wetjet Refill, Gillette Mach 3 Cartridge or Razor, IFlex, Land O Frost Turkey Breast, Star Kist Selects, Star Kist Autentico, Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist, Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser, IHOP Breakfast Items, Beneful, Purina Friskies.


The Wilmington Paper had coupons for the following (blue items only):


Loreal, haircolor, Loreal Paris Skincare, Loreal Paris Youthcode, Loreal Paris Face Product, Meow Mix, Dial Lotion, Dermasilk, Tylenol Precise, Quaker Soft Baked Bars, Superpretzel, Nestle or Wonka Candies, Pop Secret, Krave Cereal, Keebler Cookies, Kelloggs All-Bran, Smart Start, RAisin Bran or Fiber Plus Cereals, Centrum, Advil Cold/Congestion, Advil Children's, Robitussin, ICool, Gain Detergents or Fabric Softener, Cheer Detergent, Covergirl, Swiffer Handle Duster, Swiffer Wetjet Refill, Gillette Mach 3 Cartridge or Razor, IFlex, Land O Frost Turkey Breast, Star Kist Selects, Star Kist Autentico, Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist, Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser, IHOP Breakfast Items, Beneful, Purina Friskies.

As you can see, the Raleigh paper had Kelloggs and Keebler coupons, Quaker soft bars, Tuna, and several additional coupons that were not in the Wilmington paper. So, as usual, Raleigh is a better bet.

However, given the weather today, I'd almost tell you to not bother getting out for the paper! I definitely wouldn't bother to get out for the Wilmington paper and I was not super excited about the Raleigh coupons, either. Remember that you can go online and order coupons from sites such as EBAY or Kuntry Klippers, so if you want a couple of specific coupons it might be more worth your time to just do that.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Until next week......
