Have you ever forgotten to buy your newspapers for the coupon inserts on Sunday Morning? Or, you have gone to your favorite grocery store to snag yourself a couple and they were all out? Or WORSE, bought your newspaper only to find out when you got home that someone has taken the inserts out of your newspapers….UGH!!!

I have had all of these things happen to me.

If you want to spend a little more money (for shipping) you can always order your inserts. Sometimes the coupons are higher value coupons than the ones you are getting in your local newspaper, or in my case, even when I purchase the larger city newspaper.

Today, when I got home from work, I found this package on my front porch. 

A couple of weeks ago I could not get out to get my newspapers. My daughter (who coupons too) could not either. We just decided to order them. We do not do this every week, because the purpose of couponing is to save money, and the shipping does add up. But, when you need them and you do not have another resource, you can always order them.

When you order your coupons, you get charged per insert. So, if that week has 3 inserts, and you want to order all 3 inserts it will cost more money plus the shipping. On the flip side, it is nice to just have them come in the mail. You don’t have to have the hassle of running to the store in your pj bottoms, hair clip and dark sun glasses, hoping not to see anyone you know. (but you usually do)

In this order we recieved a Red Plum, and two Smart Source.

 I ordered 5 of each insert and my daughter did too. This might be too many coupons for you. Sometimes, it is a lot to keep control over but when I can get 5 items free from my 5 coupons it is worth it.

In the meantime, I will be bribing my daughter to cut out my coupons.

Where’s the scissors?
