Weekend of 5/19/2013

OPINION:  Well this weekend is definitely screwy in the coupon world.
There is the La Voz Version of the 2 Smart Source inserts which in my opinion is better since it contains
Huggies $1.50/1 diapers (6/15)
Huggies $2/1 Little Movers Slip-On diapers (6/15)
Pillsbury $1/2 refrigerated baked goods products (7/13)
Kimberly Clark Pull up Save $2 (6/15)
Kimberly Clark Clening Cloth Save $.50 (6/16
Kimberly Clark Littlle Swimmers Save $1.50 (6/16
Bisquick $.50/1 40oz+ Original or Heart Smart baking mix (7/13)
and those coupons are not in the Smart Source (2 inserts) found in the papers at the grocery store, convenience
stores (rack papers) the yellow paper ( the free chronicle that is thrown in your yard) But the HOME
Delivery version of the Smart Source does have the Huggies & pull up coupons and these coupons are not in any other
version of the 2 smart sources.
Colgate $1/1 mouthwash 8oz+ (6/16)
Coppertone/Coca-Cola $3 off 1 Coppertone 4oz+ product and 2 Coca-Cola 12pks or 1 Coca Cola 20/24pk (6/30)
Dr. Scholl’s $3/1 Active Series insoles (7/13) 
Dr. Scholl’s $3/1 For Her insoles (7/13)
Dr. Scholl’s $3/1 Freeze Away wart products (7/13)
Dr. Scholl’s $3/1 Massaging Gel insoles or pain relief orthotic inserts (7/13)
Goodnites $2/1 bed mats jumbo pk+ (6/15)
Hidden Valley $1/1 Farmhouse Originals dressing (8/19)
Irish Spring $.50/1 multi-bar pack 6pk+ (6/8)
Irish Spring $1/1 body wash excludes 2.5oz (6/8)
Kleenex $.50/1 hand towels (6/29)
La Victoria $1/1 tortillas (7/28)
La Victoria $1/2 products 12oz+ (7/28)
Palmolive $.50/1 dish liquid 14oz+ (6/8)
Scotch-Brite $.75/2 scrub sponge or dishwands (6/30)
Vlasic $.75/1 regular or Farmer’s Garden pickle variety (7/31)
Dole Save $65 on 2 canned Juices (7/31)
Finish Save #25/1 (6/1/)

Are you confused yet....I am....

So my advice this weekend, is collect the inserts you can, and if you are missing a coupon you desperately
need either trade with a friend of go buy it on ebay.  OR you could call the Chronicle as they publish
ALL these papers and talk  to advertising or circulation depts  and complain. Just remember when you call them, that
they don't care about couponers, don't understand us, won't sympathise with your plight and then probably
tell you that different zip codes get different coupons....Giggle....Now wouldn't that be the pits.

OH and one other thing.  The following coupons, the Houston area received and they are not listed in the Sunday
Coupon Preview or any other database...
Heluva Good Sour Cream Dips Save $.75/1 (7/21)
Chinet Save $1 /1baking pans (7/28)

Sorry I am so late posting this but I had trouble securing  a copy of the La Voz  All the normal places that i stop to pick up a copy didn't have them. I don't know what is going on with the chroncile on my side of town (west side) but they used to be totally dependable in their delivery of the La Voz to my local convenience store....but my Valero has not had them in over three weeks and several of the delivery guys i stopped and talked to said they were not in the Kempwood warehouse any more.  So I don't know who is delivering them anymore....Hope the mess on my side of town is not affecting your side  of town

The Elusive Smart Source


I was finally able to borrow the 2 smart source inserts that the Houston Chronicle put out last weekend in their AT HOME DELIVERY SUNDAY PAPERS. If you bought your paper from the grocery store, a convenience store,the gas station or one of the sidewalk vendors you did not get the 2 smart Source Inserts.  I called and complained, DID you?


opinion: For avid coupon collectors ( and aren't we all ?) this weekend was a nightmare. If you didn't get a copy of the Spanish Smart Source you missed some great q's....if you bought your paper at the grocery store like I do, you missed some great q's. IF you only got the La Voz Smart Source you missed some great q's. IF you only get the yellow paper thrown in your yard you missed some great q's. There were so many verisons of the Smart Source and the Red Plum this weekend I lost count of the varaiations  I called the Chronicle to complain  ( and that was a waste of time).The Chronicle publishes the La Voz also and 2 weeks ago they changed the way they distribute or  should I say the way they don't distribute.  I always pick up my copy at the gas station and they have not had a copy delivered to them in 2 weeks. Their new system of delivery for the La Voz is not working in my area, hope the rest of you had better luck.  If it doesn't get better this week, I think we all need to call and complain. Maybe soon they will get their act together.

Weekend May5.2013


Well ladies this weekend is crazy for coupons.

There is a new Spanish Smart Source out. Has great coupons not mentioned in any of the other blogs or websites about what we are getting as for as smart source coupons.  I found my copy in La Voz I understand it is also in another spanish newspaper

I do not speak spanish so I guessed a lot on this list, if you find errors please let me know

Spanish Smart Source 5/5/13


The Red Plum this week.  I have seen three different versions, the one mailed to apartments, the one in the La Voz and the one coming out in the Chronicle. IF you don't want a $1 BAyer coupon and an  All detergent coupon, then the La Voz is exactly the same as the Chronicle

HOUSTON CHRONICLE


I picked up a Chronicle this morning at my local convenience store and to my shock I found that there was not a Smart Source in it. Only the Red plum.  I do not know if this is true of Home delivery. If you get one in your paper at home please let me know.
