We're not getting Red Plum inserts anymore!!??

[jodikay1]

I am not sure where the origional conversation started - so maybe this is the subject, maybe not. Pitt Post Gazette and no coupons. I buy at Giant Eagle, I am by Youngstown. I bought three papers without looking, only to get them home and found NO coupons in them, even though the front page has a coupon price value on it.
I emailed the paper explaining the situation and wanting to know what happened. They wrote me back and they said that they do not choose what coupons are in the paper, that it is the coupon companies decition - I wrote them back again referring to the coupon value on the front. I havent gotten a response. I did take the papers back to GE who gave me a refund with no problems.

The conversation started over in the 1/29 deals thread. Bascially, last week's paper (1/25) should have had both inserts. This coming weekend's paper (2/1) will only have the SS insert - no RP. They will only be mailing the RP in this area. So that's why the concern - we'll only get 1 in the mail and not be able to purchase more in the Sunday papers.

Someone mentioned their post office having a spot for leftovers - that's a good idea, but the closest post office for me is too far away to be running down there once a week. Maybe in the summer, but definitely not in this weather! The post master there is really cool, so I'm sure she wouldn't mind me taking some...it's just getting there!

Thank you for posting these!

The links did not work for me. Did anyone else have problems? I emailed Quaker, and plan on emailing the above companies to say I buy enough papers for each person in my household, plus to donate to the food pantries if there are good coupons.
Didn't know if it was my computer not allowing the links to work?

If Pgh is a test market, people need to SCREAM for Redplum to put them back! We have to email them repeatedly! And their companies paying Redplum to advertise!

If you click on the links Sanprak posted, after you get the error message, erase everything before the main htt:// link in the browser address bar. For some reason it added some stuff before it (has *** in the beginning)

And, unless we have multiple addresses, that's the only copy we'll get now that they are mailing it to us instead of allowing us to buy them.

I am going to look at the Observer Reporter (Washington County paper) - they are still on the list as having the RP. I don't like having to pay $1.50 for the paper but, as long as the q's are the same and they have the RP, I'll probably be buying a couple of them.

Otherwise, I'm going to have my friend in VA buy papers for me and mail me the q's - she has some papers that sell for .50 that carry all the inserts (hopefully, they won't change)

I subscribe to the Observer-Reporter and can tell you that the q's are not as good as the PG. They don't include the higher dollar value q's and they contain a lot more "junk ads" for filler. Of course that does explain why I didn't get a RP mailed to me this week, since I am in Observer territory. Interesting. Thanks for the info. I didn't check on this because I don't usually consider this paper as my reliable coupon supplier.

Kellogg's - Consumer Service Here is Kellogg's contact us form. They seem to use both SS and RP. but seem to be using RP more often lately.

http://www.lorealparisusa.com/ Here is L'Oreal's page, the contact us link is at the bottom. They only allow 400 characters...not very much room to voice your concern LOL

I'm not in Pittsburgh, but it looks like they are sticking it to Cleveland too! We are listed as direct mail. Maybe if we all joined together and emailed EVERYONE we can, maybe we can do something about this. I'd rather they just put everything in Smart Source if we aren't going to be getting RP in the papers anymore. Glad my mom and MIL and aunt don't coupon... I will also be speaking to the mailman (he's been delivering for 20 years and prefers to be called that, lol), he likes cookies and I like coupons...
