Today’s question is about coupon inserts in newspapers…
Question:
“When I buy Sunday newspapers from a store, they sometimes do not have the coupon inserts inside. Why do people steal the coupons?”
Answer:
Coupon inserts do get stolen out of papers in stores sometimes. However, some of the papers sold in stores never get the coupon inserts in them. The newspaper has a limited number of inserts each week, and they always stuff the home delivered ones first. So, some of the papers purchased in stores may never have had inserts in them in the first place.
If you are purchasing a Sunday newspaper especially for the coupon inserts, it is best to get a home-delivery subscription or use a clipping service. Otherwise, you are just taking a gamble.
Home Delivered Newspaper Subscriptions
Clipping Service
If you are considering a clipping service, we recommend Insert Insanity. It’s about the same price as a newspaper, but you’ll never have to run around Sunday mornings tracking down your coupon inserts. You can pre-order your Coupon Inserts and even set up a recurring order that works much like a newspaper subscription (but you’ll ONLY get the inserts, not a whole newspaper). Your inserts will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
Here are some reasons to consider purchasing inserts from Insert Insanity:
- Sunday papers are really expensive in your area
- your local newspaper doesn’t offer the best coupon inserts
- you live in a place that doesn’t offer home delivery
- your local newspaper doesn’t allow you to order multiple newspapers
