Star News vs. News and Observer

Good morning! It may be cloudy in Southeastern NC this morning but I hope you can make it out of bed for your newspaper! There were FOUR inserts in the paper today, totaling hundreds of dollars in coupons (and this number doesn't even count the coupons that may double).

Raleigh's News and Observer usually has more coupons; let's take a look to see if that's the case again this weekend!

There were also 2 additional inserts- a Proctor and Gamble and a Pepsi Moments to Save. They were in both newspapers so I won't list all the products as a comparison since you'll get them regardless of which paper you buy.

As usual, the Raleigh paper had many more coupons (see all the black letters). The Blue letters represent coupons that were in both papers and the red are coupons that are only in the Wilmington paper. As you can see there is only one product- Mrs. Snith's Pies, that were only in the Wilmington paper. So unless you specifically want that coupon, you'd be better off getting the Raleigh paper which will net you WAY more coupons for your money.

Until next week.............
