As a reminder, the value of the coupons that you find in your newspaper may vary from the value in the provided link! In addition, all of the stores in my area double coupons up to $.99 (so a $.75 coupon has a value of $1.50). If the stores in your area don’t double or your paper is more expensive, you may not find the coupons as valuable as I do!
Check out Sunday Coupon Preview for the complete listing of coupons. There should be 2 inserts this week: a SmartSource and a RedPlum
Local Readers: please remember that the Philadelphia Inquirer has stopped carrying the RedPlum insert. Check the RedPlum websiteto see if there are other newspapers in your area that contain the RedPlum insert!

Edy’s $1/1: goes on sale for $2 to $2.50 all the time (and they have the best Butter Pecan!)

House Foods Tofu Shirataki $0.25/1: this is the first time I have ever seen a coupon for these. They are priced at about $1.99 at most stores and are a staple in Hungry Girl Recipes. They aren’t for everyone, but I absolutely LOVE them
John Morrel Off The Bone lunchmeats B3G1F: these go BOGO all the time (and frankly, right now my head is spinning trying to think how this would work….but I think at most stores a BOGO sale with this coupon means that you would get 4 for the price of 1?)

Pop Secret $.50/1: these go as low as $1.25 (but more frequently $1.66), making them super-cheap after doubling
Smithfield Bacon $.55/1: these go on sale BOGO all the time

Dove coupons: should be able to combine these coupons with a good deal at Walgreens or CVS!
Hot Pockets Sideshots $0.75/1: I’m not sure if these will be priced and follow the same sales as the “regular” Hot Pockets, but Hot Pockets go on sale for $2 or less every few weeks
Knorr Rice & Pasta Side Dishes $1/3: we have had these coupons for a while! The go on sale for $1 all the time
Lipton Tea Bags $0.60/1: goes on sale for about $2.50

So how many copies of the paper would I buy?
If I were building a stockpile: 4-5
Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode: 4-5
It’s not a bad week for coupons. Not thrilling, but not bad. There are a bunch of coupons that haven’t been released since before Thanksgiving, so it is nice to see them return. On the whole, it’s a “1 paper per family member” week for us!
Carefully look at your coupons. Several of the coupons now say do not double, such as the colgate and soft soap.
This weekly preview is one of my favorite features on your site. Thanks again.
I listed Moms Need to Know as one of my favorite blogs at Sharpen Your Scissors.com.
Great breakdown, Mindi. Thanks!
What is up with a lot of the coupons lowering their value and writing “do not double” on them, now? Ex the Colgate toothpaste only being $.35 off? It used to be a$.50 and I could end up getting toothpaste for free or $1?? I’m not liking this!!
