View Full Version : No Coupons in Sunday Paper?

My Sunday paper has always had at least one section of coupons in it. Usually two, but sometimes three. In the past month, I've had two Sunday papers with no coupons in them at all. I'm wondering what's up with that. Anyone else have this happen?

Haven't bought a paper in weeks, though at times certain store inserts had been missing when they were supposed to be there.
A certain local paper seems to always forget to put the Michael's insert inside.

I just borrow my parents' paper since they're rightnext door; I don't know about Sundays. But, while we do get weekly mailings of coupons (advos, as my dad called them in th post office), they're not all that great, and just for one grocer - the other chains just haven't given out coupons for a while, nor have we seen manufacturer's ones.
I can recall my mom have dozens of coupons when younger, and with my parents both retired now, i know they'd use them if they were there.
The store we shop at does have some stuff on special, though, every week if you go in, and 2 for a certain price specials.

No, the St. Louis Post Dispatch has had all the regular coupons the last few weeks.
In fact, bought an extra Sunday paper 2 weeks ago at the gas station to get more coupons as there were a ton of goodies!
Call your carrier and ask where they are at.
We used to have a lazy daily delivery guy that didn't want to wait for the Sunday final edition, delivered to him at 2 AM, (been done this way forever), instead he got the 3 star edition at 9 PM on SATURDAY night and started deliverying it. Also, no coupons, because it was a cheaper edition! :(
That didn't last long as many people, including me started calling and complaining and threatening him with a torch and pitchfork! :)
2 weeks later, and back to normal. :)

There were two inserts in this weeks paper, so you should call your carrier and complain.
The only time there are no coupon inserts in the paper is when there is a holiday weekend. There is always an extra insert (Proctor & Gamble) on the first Sunday of the month.
Here is a link to the 2008 coupon insert schedule:

Taylortown also has a list of coupons in each schedule, just go to her homepage.
Hope this helps!

I hope this isn't a trend. I noticed last week's paper only had 1 insert and I usually get 3! I use coupons all the time...

our Milwaukee Journel Sentinel Sunday paper had coupons. I believe I had 2 inserts in my paper.

Lots of coupons here in the Dallas Morning News. I always buy the Sunday newspaper on Monday because I get two for the price of one. :)
