I hope you are having a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

There are no inserts in the papers this weekend (as is the case with most holiday weekends). Enjoy the weekend off from clipping!

(of course, if you need to find coupons, check out the Coupon Database as well as Coupons.com, SmartSource and Redplum!)

Don’t forget to check out the rest of the 2012 Coupon Insert Schedule

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

Coppertone coupons: there will be plenty of great deals on sunscreen in the upcoming weeks

Heinz $.25/1 tomato ketchup: the only time they ever put out coupons is pretty much May- August (when there will be good sales). Stock up on your ketchup on the cheap this summer

:: RedPlum Coupons

some semi-decent Suave coupons and a nice Degree coupon, but other than that, not so great!

So how many copies of the paper would I buy?

If I were building a stockpile: 2-3
Now that I am in stockpile-maintenance mode: 2-3

It’s a boring week. I will probably only want 1 copy of the Redplum, and will get 2 copies of the paper that carries the “good Smartsource” (which is also the paper that doesn’t carry the Redplum)
