Star News vs. News and Observer

Good morning! Today I found two inserts in each newspaper- a Red Plum and a Smart Source. I also found what appeared to be an additional bonus insert in my Raleigh paper. It was a Smart Source insert with lots of General Mills product coupons. My Wilmington inserts appeared to be thinner so let's take a look and see exactly which coupons were in each paper.

Need to organize all those coupons?

Wilmington's Red Plum insert today was awful! I could count the number of coupons on one hand. Raleigh Red Plum was very nice.

On the other hand, Wilmington's Smart Source, although still thinner than the Raleigh Smart Source, did have a couple of coupons that were not in Raleigh at all- Celestial Seasonings Tea, Wondermop, Pledge, Tylenol Cold and Sinus Products and the Schick Disposable Razor Coupons.

Until next week......
