News and Observer - Where are my Coupons?!?

Hi everyone. I know it is Monday, but I just grabbed the Sunday N&O to pull the coupons out and guess what NO COUPONS!  I thought I was cheated!  Well, I went to the  Smart Shopper website to see what I missed out on and it was not just my Sunday paper, there were NO COUPONS in the Sunday 7/19/15 Raleigh News &Observer!  



Here is the link to what WRAL's Smart Shopper says happened:

She also shared this link that shows a preview of what will be in next weeks coupons:

Thank you Smart Shopper for letting me know about the coupons.  I thought I was going to have to  get a new paper.

       See how to use more than one coupon here:

Costco is in our area but does not accept general manufacturer coupons.  You can see their stance here:  http://www.costco.com/warehouse-coupon-offers.html

Sam's Club is also in our area but it does not take manufacturer coupons.  You can see their official stance here:  http://help.samsclub.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/272/~/coupons

After doing my research, I learned that BJ's is the best place to take advantage of coupons!

Coupon Policies at Local Drug Stores

Hi all.  It is Reagan again.  As promised, here are the links to the coupon policies of the local drug stores!

My favorite drug store is CVS!  I love that they do not sell cigarettes so they are at the top of my list for that reason, NOT because it is in alphabetical order!

Coupon Policies at Local Grocery Stores

Hi everyone.  I thought that it would be a good idea to share coupon policies to some of our local grocery stores.  If you are going to use coupons, you need to know the store's policy so you can save the most money.  I will post coupon policies of drug stores and warehouse stores in a later blog.

Here are the links to the coupon policies of some of the local grocery stores:

Carlie C's IGA

Food Lion

Harris Teeter

Kroger

Lowes Food

http://www.lowesfoods.com/aboutus/couponpolicy/

Walmart

http://corporate.walmart.com/coupon-policy

Compare Foods is located in Clayton, but I can not find a coupon policy.  I have emailed them and I will update blog once I hear back from the store.

Aldi is also a local store but it does NOT accept coupons so keep that in mind when you are shopping there.  They do have good prices and specials.  You can view their their weekly specials at this link:  https://www.aldi.us/en/weekly-specials/our-weekly-ads/

If I left a store out, let me know and I will add it to the list!
