    I really don’t know where to put this Jenny. I just printed the yo crunch yogurt, link you provided. And it printed out 4 you crunch coupons. I am stumped, this never happens. They all have different bar codes and it’s 29 cents off each. Somebody help! 

    • tryn2sav

       I wonder if this has anything to do with the leap year today.

    • JenB33

      It says on the yocrunch website to click print once in order to receive four coupons. yay!

      • tryn2sav

         Thanks, I was scared they were counterfeit coupons or something lol! I’m just used to getting two printable coupons and that’s it.

  • Mom of six

    Do you know where I can find Sunday’s newspapers this late in the week?  We weren’t able to get them Sunday and my husband has been everywhere looking for them for me.  We live around Charlotte, NC.

    • tryn2sav

      I’m not from Charlotte but I know, sometimes the gas stations still have them.

    • Sharon

      Might try CVS or Wags.

    • Nurseamie

      My Publix keeps the Sunday papers all week…maybe yours would have a few left. Good luck, hope you’re able to find them :)

    • Kathrynmainer

      We go directly to the newspaper office and it does not cost extra.

    • Kim

       www.thecouponshipper.com has them for 99 cents each plus postage

    • sjgsjg

      In VA Dollar Tree is selling them.  Also, Wal-mart here always sells the Sunday paper all week long.

    • Alphillips

      I have 6 sets of Sunday paper inserts. They have both inserts in all of them. I buy them from a friend who is contracted with the Charlotte Observer. He awesome. I get them for $1 per set of inserts (a set is all the inserts from one paper). I live in the Steelecreek area of Charlotte. Shoot me an Amalie if you need them or any in the future. Alphillips@mac.com

    • Jmgregory_99

      Try contacting the paper directly.  In some areas they keep back editions that you can purchase.  You can check to make sure the inserts are there.

  • Rach3lbu11man

    I just wondered if there were any Charlotte Observer people out there who have not been getting the RP and SS inserts lately.  The lady at the paper said there weren’t any inserts for “my” area??  Really?  The national coupons!!?  My local paper had them!   I am canceling my subscription!  This is how I shop…. with coupons!…but I can’t waste the money to get papers that have no coupons!!  This is a very recent problem, but I have already wasted $10 to not get coupons.  Highly agitated and very upset!

    • Jenn S

      I pickup the Charlotte Observer every week at CVS and haven’t had any issues with missing inserts.

    • Guest

      I subscribe to the Charlotte Observer and Rock Hill Herald Sunday only and have only had an issue one Sunday where both papers were missing an insert. This was back in late 2011. I called and complained and they extended my subscription an additional week.They said they were short of inserts and yet I went to CVS and picked up the paper and it had all the inserts. The subscribers are supposed to get the inserts first. I think it depends who puts the papers together. I would call again and hopefully you’ll get a different customer service rep or ask for a manager and get a better answer. I would think anyone getting the Charlotte Observer would get the same number of inserts. I think with coupon popularity that the inserts are walking away….

    • pennywiseinasheville

      Same thing happened to me. I’m in Asheville, NC and I buy mine inside of an Ingles store, and I spent 8.00 for 4 papers…..only one Moments to Save out all 4. I called CO office and explained the situation. She told me she would send 4 SS and 1 Moments to save…..mailman brought one of each. Not happy with CO, gonna call back tommorrow and see what happens.

    • Crj975

      I understand that!! This past Sunday I did not receive a smart source. I live in Pitt County so I hope we get all of the inserts on the 4th.

      • Ecuchicky

        I got the daily reflector and did get a smart source as well as the kinston paper with an additional smart source…does anyone have suggestions on which is the best paper to get? Reflector News and Observer?

        • Jen153

          I always have the most luck with News and Observer

          • jazigirlnc

            ditto

    • Ladycham

      I picked up two copies of the Observer at Walmart… got them home and discovered that they only had the PepsiCo set in them.  Very disappointed, since the matchups I’ve been reading include coupons from the 2/26 ad.

      • Kim

         I have lots of leftovers from last weekend’s papers that I’m selling for 99 cents a set + shipping costs.  If your papers are less than 13 oz I can ship them first class, but otherwise they go priority for $5.25.

        • Kim

           Forgot to say you can find my website at the coupon shipper dot com.

    • Rach3lbu11man

      The thing is I have them delivered 4 papers!  But they are saying “my area” didn’t have a SS this week!  BULL

      • pamgam

         I live in Charlotte and purchased two papers and I always check to make sure that the coupons are in the paper that I am buying.  The Charlotte Observer in the stores had the Smart Source in them.  The coupons are the only reason why I purchase a Sunday paper.

      • scrpnvenom737

        I’ve had the same issue with the Birmingham News.  I sent them an email, and got a reply saying that they only have so many inserts, that they fill the papers in certain counties first, then split the rest up for the neighboring counties.  I started driving 15 minutes more to get all of the inserts. 

        • Chenaultann

          hey do you remember what counties ? I live in Cullman .

          • scrpnvenom737

            I believe it was just Jefferson and St Clair. I drive to the outskirts of Pell City to get my papers.

    • dsmith

      I live down at Lake Wylie and I usually pick up my papers inside one of the gas stations or at CVS or Walgreens. I tell them that I’m going to check each paper for the inserts before I buy them and that’s alright with them. I no longer buy ANY papers from the outside machines. They are ALWAYS missing the inserts.

    • Doodlebugs38

      I did not get any coupons in my Charlotte paper this past Sunday either and was very disappointed!!! I did get my local paper though and  it did have the smart source. I don’t know what is up with the Charlotte Observer. I was told a few weeks ago that their was a “coupon insert shortage”….. seems to me it is just one excuse after another with them!! Grrrr 

      • Alphillips

        I live in South West Charlotte. I have a friend who is contracted for the Charlotte Observer. He sells them to me for $1.00 per set of inserts (a set is all the coupon inserts in one paper). If you guys are having issues getting coupons shoot me an email alphillips@mac.com

    • http://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.cheek Elizabeth Cheek

      Last weekend I got both the SS and Moments to save and I live in Huntersville and I subscribe to 4 papers. As a matter of fact I went to CVS at 3 AM on Monday and the clerk offered my 13 sets of inserts for free because they hadn’t sold all the papers. So I am NOT buying what they are telling you. I have never had a problem with missing coupons but I would flip out.

      • Rach3lbu11man

        totally flippin!

    • Davisword

      I used to work in circulation as a manager.   The ads and coupons are zoned, so it is possible that they were not zoned for your area.  National coupons do not always run at the same time in the same place.  Have no idea why, but I do know this happens all the time.   Also, the coupons are supposed to go to home delivery papers first then to street sales.  If they run out of coupons it is supposed to affect street sales first.   

  • 302799

    I absolutely love the “Clayton Neighbor”.  Got the RP, SS, P&G and the Moments to Save.  I will be walking the dog to pick up the “extras” in my brothers’ culdesac. ( * smile * )

    • Davisword

      Do you mean steal the coupons from other papers?  If so, that is not a good idea.

  • Motherof7

    Is there any Delaware Southern Savers? If so, Just wanted to know where to get “extra” Sunday papers.  Thanks.    

  • Kim

    This is a great weekend to try my shipping service, as I sell the coupons per paper set, not per insert.  The cost is $2.50 per paper and they ship out priority mail on Monday.  If you want extra of a particular insert I can usually work that out as well. I’m at thecouponshipper dot com!

    • Tamwl

      Where are you located and how long is the shipping period? Also will you have all the coupon inserts

      • Jamie

        I just used her service last week.  They arrived in a few days and even included Publix yellow advantage flyers and a few other extras.  Great service.

  • Lynda

    does anyone know of a clipping service where I can buy coupons? everyone i have found only do large orders sorry but I don’t need 6 or more sets of coupons. thanks.

    • Altmansgirl247

      I use couponthingsbydede.com
      She doesn’t have a minimum order, and you don’t have to buy multiples of the same coupon if you only need 1….The ship out the same day you place the order, and they have a points system, where each coupon you buy has a point value on her site….your points add up each time, and when you have enough points saved, you get money off your next purchase.  Hope this helps :)

    • Kelly
    • Julie A.

      Hot Coupon World has a list of clipping services. http://www.hotcouponworld.com/resources/coupon-clipping-services/

      i personally used 4U2coupon.com.
      they charge $1 for shipping but there is no minimum order requirement. I ordered some coupons from them not too long ago. there handling fees were reasonable and cheaper than ebay and some of the bigger clipping services. 

    • Waltershell53

      try couponbeat

    • Jmgregory_99

      I’ve used coupon dede with good results.  Minimum $5.00 order and you can order whatever qty you want with some exceptions limited to 5 or 10 within 7 days.

    • Gmcouponer

       carryoutcoupons.com is a great place to get them. You don’t have to order large amounts they actually cater to the people who need only a few coupons here and there. And the delivery is fast…

    • ireneY

       taylortownpreview dot com in Florida doesn’t have minimums and ships within the week. She adds extras, too!

    • Joy

      you can use thecouponshipper.com, Kim is awesome!!! No mnimums to her orders, she has the AJC coupons too! High Dollar and LOTS AND LOTS of coupons!

  • Suzann

    Try lorihas3kids,coupondede,weclipusave–I have not bought a Sunday paper in years..Read the paper online. 

    • wendyc33

      i like koupon-kash dot com. She is out of atlanta and has the best coupons. ships within 2 to 3 days. and she often puts in publix flyers as extra inserts with your order. Coupon beat is also pretty good and sometimes i notice on some inserts its free shipping.

      • Dwise27613

        Thanks, really appreciate it!!

    • Dwise27613
