Does anyone know if Smart Source or Red Plum will provide/sell inserts in bulk after the Sunday insertion date?
They actually arne’t allowed to sell the inserts. However, many newspapers will allow stores to give away the inserts after the newspaper sell dates. Just ask your store what their policy is. I’ve heard gas stations/convenience markets often allow the inserts to be removed by consumers late Sunday or early Monday before the newspaper reps arrive to collect the unsold papers, but I haven’t done it myself. Also, several Dollar Tree type stores sell Sunday papers later in the week, inserts included, for $1 each, which might be a deal if there are great coupons that week.
Are there any rules for coupons? Is It one per family?
I work for Walgreens and I find too many people using coupons to no end. Take as much as you can. The abuse is tremendous . There are people buying million of papers just for the coupons not for the need of the merchandise.
Please put some rules or control for the out of control people.
Sincerely,
Patricia Fadoul
How can I not receive the mailer in my mailbox. It’s a waste to me as I do not even use it nor look at it and just throw it away.
