I see a coupon clipping business in your future! LOL
I am in an apartment, and we don't even have a paper delivery! The best I can do is buy the Sunday paper (or any other day of the week) at the $1 store for, well, $1.

Drive around to some neighborhoods close to you...I'm sure they are getting the FREE paper (most biz get them). What I did before I spoke to the delivery guy, was I walked around the neighborhood at night and those that left their paper in the driveway, I took the inserts out. Then I left a message on peoples door asking if they didn't want their inserts to please leave on porch for me (most of the time people trash teh paper, I DID FOR 3 YEARS TILL I STARTED TO COUPON AND REALIZE THAT IT'S COUPON INSERTS IN THAT FREE PAPER) LOL Then I waited and watch so see what time the guy came and when I saw him flying around the corner throwing papers out, I ran outside and asked him if I could have extra's and he said that he throws away stacks of them each Thursday cause he has too many and didn't know anyone who may wanted them...so I yelled...I DO!!! And from that day, he leaves me 3 bundles of newspapers on my porch and I go through and take the inserts out and then take the newspaper to a recycling bin.

I donate majority of my items. 90 coupon inserts...that's alot of things I get and I can't dear keep all that in my house..lol

Yes I know, but I'm so brand new to coupons and didn't realize it till I saw the -12. Darn I could've gotten some more Ground Turkey with that overage...lol

Well, I still have a few more BOGO and ton's of $2/1 so I'll go back later today and try it again..but this time have other items for the overage.

kroger it is always best to toss something else in your cart for that just in case....and watch your total...during a mega i had to scurry and grab two pepsi's to cover....i try not to take perishables (cold, frozen) as some stores have the rule not to put it back and make it waste...like someone said they put a case of water in the cart....i use dog food alot as my overage "incase"

My guy leaves me the extras too. I make sure to give him a big box of freebies every couple of months.

Okay, I just moved to Georgia, so what free paper are you referring to?

[mumof3boys]

I am in Ga, and there is no free paper ever delivered to my subdivision. There is a local free paper, but it comes in the mailbox and there aren't any coupons. There is one day where some random ads in plastic are thrown in driveways- not every week, maybe twice/month (maybe the delivery person is throwing them away instead of delivering them all!) but there is only the smartsource, no redplum.

I'm also shocked your store even HAD that many BW's!! I went to 3 stores, just to fulfill my measly 12 or so!!

be glad you can get it for $1. I'm in a rural area and the best I can do is $2!

What part of GA are you in?? Holy moley!

[wolfangel]

In my neck of the Metro ATL part of GA, we get the East Cobb Neighbor for free. My inserts are in there it seems only one day of the week. GOing to be moving soon, and then will be nailing down that delivery person if I can to see about getting some extras!!

I live in a gated apartment complex and we also receive the inserts in our mailbox each week. Luckily there is a trash can next to the mailboxes that everyone throws their papers into so I go through it and get tons of inserts that way.
