Houston chronicle coupon schedule

Its also why you find more these days stores changing their store policies. That is why I started a subscription…. That is just crazy.. I usually buy two-three doubles if they have great coupons but other than that I usually just buy 4 papers.. I hate the show because of they are sending a bad message about couponers…. I totally agree with you.

My local Dollar tree Alabama has begun handing out newspapers to each customer. Now even with him purchasing our normal 3, he mentioned a male customer purchase 21 papers every Sunday. I feel there should be a limit of 2 no more than 3 papers per customer, that way every waiting customer is served. The goal is to save money NOT to hoard products that will probably go bad. I am by no means an extreme couponer- a few extra things here and there. I taught a friend of mine how to use coupons more effectively and to save some money- turned out to be one of my biggest mistakes. She buys twenty to fourty papers at the local dollar tree every week.
She regularly clears off shelves and loves to tell everyone about it. Not just saving money. I, like you, am not an extreme couponer. I subscribe and get 2 papers Wed-Sun delivered. I have found that I always have to check to make sure the inserts are there before buying. Last week I had to go 4 papers down the stack to find one with inserts. Then today at Walmart I saw a woman on the candy aisle take the inserts out of a newspaper and shove them under a diaper bag in her cart. Then she stuffed the newspaper under the shelf of candy and left it.
I was so appalled! I was a Hallmark Manager. I had one lady tell me that since she was pregnant that she could get TWO Princess Diana beanie babie bears limit one per person. Now, these people were not even buying anything else for the most part.
But a few weeks ago I went in to Walmart about 7am and all of their copies were gone, bought by one person. If there is going to be a limit, then they should really enforce it better. People will leave there and go to another Dollar Tree or convenience store. Now even with him purchasing our normal 3, he mentioned a male customer purchase 21 papers every Sunday. That might be a start to slowing down some of the shelf clearing, but as I said some people will always find a way to get around whatever policies or restrictions are placed on coupons.
I did not have time for that nonsense. I felt horrible for my regular customers. Asking a store to supervise really silly people is ridiculous. Now, I agree, perhaps they could cut this out by changing the policy to 2 or3 per family, however, you know as well as I know… mommy and daddy will just split up… but I suppose that would get a few more people in their store. I also worked in a drug store… we had ordering control. Hopefully this whole coupon thing will die down a bit. I for one have taken 4 weeks off now. I am burnt out. I have gone for the obvious deals.
Hopefully I will get my enthusiasm back in a week or two. I would have taken a look at that line and gone home. At least I have 2 papers at home already. I have 4 offers left I got 5 as a subscriber that can be taken advantage of for another 4 weeks or so. I was signed up last year by a friend, so I know there are NO BILLS and NO obligations to keep it after a year… and when that year is up you can re-subscribe for another year for two cents again and they give you 5 offers for friends. I am in OC and would love a Register subscription!
She was definitely losing customers by not limiting the purchases to so many per family unit. People will leave there and go to another Dollar Tree or convenience store. They let me look at each one and make sure they have all of the circulars…. I had to ask for them as they were kept behind the customer service counter. If the policy at Dollar Tree states 3 per person, then those people were within their rights to 3 each in the family but extreme in their stretching of the store policy.
If it reads 3 per family then they should enforce their own policy. People will become unhappy and quit coming to the store to get the paper and then the managements whole idea of profiting from selling other items to make up for the loss from selling the papers is in vain.
Clearly the people in the Dollar Tree today have very cheap self-respect. I have gotten some tips from the show,but it is not like every day life. Not everyone everywhere can attain those levels of savings. It takes time for one to build up your coupons, and learing when a sale is a good sale to use your coupons.
A lot of people were afraid of what that show would do. I am like really? I think if people are going to try doing what they do on the show, they need to watch and listen. I am a hugh couponer, but I do NOT go to those extremes. I refuse to even dumpster dive and I do just fine with my papers ever week. Just like at Walgreens where people do a large number of transactions getting the money making or cheap deals. I go every Sunday at 9 a. The clerk at my store goes as far as setting aside 24 papers for one couponer who comes in every Sunday to pick them up.
Yes, they go fast, but I guess the early bird gets the worm, at least around here in Michigan anyways. I live in michigan and our dollar store offers the sunday paper but I go to Walmart and get it because it is only. Those Crazy Couponers have ruined it for the rest of us! I have always used coupons when i go shopping,been over 20 years now.
I am thankful that the area i live in all the cashiers at all the stores know me and trust me. I save a lot of money when i go shopping,but i also put in a lot of time. I am in no sense of the word an Extreme Couponer,just a smart shopper. I would have said WTF! I went to my local food city a little bit ago and got my Bristol Herald Carrier paper which has both smart source and redplum in them.
Sunday Coupon Preview Sunday 2/10/19: 2 INSERTS!!! (1) RMN (1) SmartSource
I have to check to make sure the coupons are in each on of them because there are coupon theives out there you like to go through all of the papers to make sure each one has both coupon inserts. I mean I understand them giving him away after store hours or something but sheesh I should be able to get my newspaper without having to worry about my inserts not being there. I think they just shot themselves in the foot. They could have sold much more merchandise if they had limited the amount as they were supposed to. I enjoyed watching the show, but I think that people have just went crazy thinking they can go to the store and shop the way they did on the show.
For me, couponing is necessary. It helps me stay home with my kids. Honesty and integrity apparently are not wide spread personality traits among extreme couponers. Seems easy to me when I think about it in these terms. They need to be more specific with their limit then, if a spouse can count then a child can count! They need to state 3 per family. There will be more sales and there are definitely more papers! Stop complaining get over it and be happy with what you have. I can go you 1 better this week.
When my daughter got off work at 4 am she went to some different places and bought an aditional 8 papers and was given one by a friend who manages a restaurant where they get a free one for having 2 paper boxes. I do have a very small stockpile, but it consists of things my family will use in 2 months or so and not years from now. I had a larger one, but when all of the tornadoes came through our area this spring, I gave everything I could for that.
I would rather order my coupons online than buy the paper like this and pay them to keep all of the coupons. I agree that this was horrible! I have only watched tht show a couple of time bc the hubby was watching and it appalled me that people had things piled up to the ceiling! I do good to half way fill my cabinets with groceries and that is using coupons when I can get my hands on them.
But first–the 411 on Sunday newspaper coupon inserts:
This is getting absolutely ridiculousness!!! Honestly I think it is ridiculous to buy newspapers just for the coupons anyway. So even you buying 3 for yourself makes no sense to me. I get there are deals to be had and I have watched extreme couponing BUT is it really worth it after you calculate the time you have spent waiting to the buy the paper, the time you spent driving, the fuel and wear and tear to your vehicle for extra unnecessary miles?
You can buy a paper for whatever reason you want to buy a paper. Wow you are way off with couponing and assuming way too much. Well if you are buy A paper then yes — but when you are buying 20 papers then that is ridiculous in my opinion. I am not sure what exactly I am assuming — Obviously people buy other things while they are there because that is why the Dollar Tree store sells them — because of the business the papers bring in. I am guessing that no one needs 25 boxes of toothpaste.
Between the 1 newspaper i buy for 2. About the vending machines — Yes, please do pay for each copy you take. It is stealing if you take more than what you paid for. Even before the current coupon craze began, I told people to stay away from vending machines if they were in search of coupons. About the multiple newspapers — Please do contact your newspaper to find out what the home delivery plans are. It may be possible to get multiple newspapers delivered to your house either on a double deal as another poster mentioned; or on some other arrangement. That will save you time and hassle. I buy 10 papers..
But a few weeks ago I went in to Walmart about 7am and all of their copies were gone, bought by one person. Today I missed going in the morning and went in the afternoon, not expecting to find any papers. They were still there, I guess they ordered more and they also told the guy who bought the to come at the end of the day or talk to the newspaper directly.
I agree — it should be limited to 3 papers per household. And I agree that by not limiting it more, that store IS losing business — Lots of business. All those who were turned away will remember her always being out and immediately go to another store rather than waste time stopping at hers. I too hate when I see this happen, and sadly it is all too many times. During the Krispy Kreme Fathers Day promotion when they were giving a free dozen glazed doughnuts for bringing in an ugly tie, I saw families with 6 kids each bringing in a tie and each getting a free box!
How were they going to finish all those doughnuts! It is just sad about the papers as well. You do not need 25 of each coupon! I get 4 papers for me and my husband each week and it is plenty! We save money and get great deals and 4 of each coupon is more than enough! You know it is people like that that clear shelves at stores so no one else can get anything! I flat out gave up on trying to buy the Sunday paper in the stores.
They are so afraid of being left with copies that they never get enough and I like to sleep late on Sunday. This is so sad!! I did also start couponing since the show, but I have morals about it.
I always make sure to only get what I need for myself or my family. I think this kind of problem is happening all over. Not just about coupons but about many things. It seems people have lost common courtesy somewhere along the line.
I seem people constantly trying to get away with things that end up hurting those around them in one way or another. It is so sad to me. I am sorry that is happening in your area. I hope things will calm down with the coupons soon so that everyone can enjoy them in a good way. I wish I could get home delivery,but I live in a apt and they leave my paper on the community mailbox, it was stolen every time. I usually take the baby for a walk on Sun morning to the conveinence store and check before I pay since people have taken inserts.
When people try to twist the rules it just looks greedy in my opinion. I love couponing, but I will not fight for a paper or dumpster dive. I think there are enough deals out there to get reasonable amounts of products without going overboard. I went in to my local south sacramento doller store today also and i was suprized as well.
I feel that as long as ur buying the paper and not stealing them and being courtious of other shopers that are in line for papers too then it is fine but come on now having ur kids SMALL ONES get the limit on papers is crazy. I started couponing and did not know anything about the show I just wanted to save money and then i seen that one of my friends was buying more then one paper and i was like wow why have i not thought about that. I work at a newspaper.
Our circulation department saves a few of each paper so people can buy extra copies — you know, if a family member is mentioned or something. Why are people so upset? Just go to the grocery store and pay full price for as many papers as you want. And I think that 3 is a decent limit.
Hopefully, with the business they are getting they will up their newspaper count real soon! My local CVS now keeps their Sunday papers behind the counter on the account that people were just taking the coupons out…how sad!! The problem I ran into is that I have to wait in line to get a paper or two and a friend of the cashier gets her to hold her three papers every week for her. I was going to report it, but decided to get my chicago trib delivered for. That show has ruined everything. I now have to drive 10 minutes farther than usual to get 2 Sunday papers.
Reason being, some crazy person is stealing EVERY single paper out of the box after the box is filled up. I guess I could get up at 4am next Sunday and try to catch them doing it, but what would I do…call the police?

What I am finding is that either the carrier or someone else is taking the inserts from the newspapers. I have reported this and was told I could get a subscription. We live in a small rural area with no local paper so depend on the Little Rock paper. My husband has been at the truck stop early to buy just one paper we are not trying to be greedy! Why would I subscribe when if it is the carrier the one delivered to my house would not have them either! Well I agree with you that they should not let each person in the family get 3 papers.
