10/02/11 Inserts

Well, I'm really disappointed. I bought 2 papers, same paper, from 2 different stores. I ended up getting just the pepsi and the P&G in both. Nothing else. Almost seems like I just wasted over $4. UGH!

I've had that happen to me before too. It sucks!! That's why I always check the inserts before I buy them now.

I always open them up and see what they have inside. I might get looked at funny, but atleast I know what I'm getting. Sometimes they are missing inserts and there have been times where I've found 3 of the same insert in the paper. It's not uncommon that I get 2 SS in the same paper on any given sunday.

I bought two different regional papers and our local paper had all the inserts listed except GM, but the one out of Dallas only had PepsiCo, P&G, and SS (and cost $1 more than the local papers... d'oh!). The one in Dallas seals up their inserts and the bag was unopened, so it looked like they just didn't get that much.

I was also a little unhappy that in several of the local papers, some of the Qs were mangled like they got caught on a sorting machine. Thankfully they only hit junk Qs, but it is still kind of frustrating.

I always check to make sure that the coupons are in the paper before I purchase it. I look at what inserts should come out and most of the time I get them all. I get our local paper and it only had a very few coupons in it yesterday. I looked at the larger city paper and all of them were in there. It is worth it to me to purchase the paper with all inserts for .75 more than the one with hardly nothing.

What is the 8/2 good on? I know it says face products but what are the face products?

I think there's supposed to be some face product varieties at Walmart for $3.xx. I haven't checked yet, I just read it at a couple of blogs and I don't remember the details.

I've never bought the packets, I usually go to Costco or BJ's and get the vacuum sealed 1 lb bags (look like a brick of coffee) and they come two to a pack. I've never frozen them, just kept them (unopened) in the pantry. When I do open one, I pour some in a jar, keep it in the fridge, and the remainder of the bag I close up and also put in the fridge. I've had them last close to two years without any failure.

So, I guess if you seal up the yeast packets well to keep moisture from forming, they could be frozen without any issues.

if you need more qs for the yeast or any of the other baking qs let me know i have 9 and i dont bake other than box cakes and such. i hate to just throw them in the trash.
