While knowing which paper got what coupons could be helpful in some ways, it could also be ridiculously time consuming. In my area alone, the DB News Journal and the Orlando Sentinel get two different sets of coupons and many times a coupon that may be in the tampa paper is not in my papers. I empathize with you . If you notice on both RP and SS there is a date and usually a 3 digit number, sometimes with a dash & addtl number. That is a version number for the RP or SS edition. In addition it will show the paper(s) that the insert is included it, but that is not all inclusive. Addt’l downfalls to having ONLY the Tampa or what ever paper with a particular coupon move over to the matchups would be someone like me that is not in your area would not know about a possible matchup that is available in my area…Also, if a coupon did not appear in your area(tampa) you would not know it was available and could not attempt to trade or buy it from another area. Liza, I know the time it takes to do matchups and track down & confirm possible coupons. I appreciate all your hard work!!!! I also appreciate your site on the whole as it gives me an idea of Florida pricing (my area is higher than Tampa many times).
Thanks for all you do!

I am SOOOOOO thankful for everything that you do and for the HOURS you spend doing all of this!! You are my lifesaver – I’m a mom working 40-45 hours a week with two kids and a very small budget! You honestly help us put food on our table. I use nap times on weekends to get my coupons ready for my publix shopping trip… oh and I SOOO LOVE PUBLIX!!! Thank you again Liza, you are an amazing woman!!

Now there is a job for someone who is computer/database savvy, make a way to allow only the local coupons to pull over to the matchups or atleast to mark them.

Thanks so much for all your hard work, and I have been following your adoption blog too. So exciting; I pray that everything works according to His will in your life.

Blessings,

Hi Sissy! To answer your questions 1) I highlight every deal that is free or worthy of stocking up with red font. So, if you see something in red, you can know that it is a great deal. For produce and meats/seafoods, I put two “**” before the deal to note if it is good. 2) Regarding Tampa Tribune coupons – your idea is a great one. That said, it takes me between 5 – 6 hours to match up every deal with the coupons when I work on the weekly ad every Sunday night. So looking up each coupon in my inserts to see which ones are local would just add more time to the already lengthy process. I may be able to start that in the future?

Thanks for the comments! 🙂

Hi Mary! If you get the bag, it is 5 lbs. Otherwise, if you purchase just a few onions, it is $0.99/lb. You can use the coupon on either a 5 lb bag or multiple onions AS LONG as they weigh at least 5 lbs. Hope that helps!

Thank you Kelly for your kind words! I’m so glad you find my website helpful 🙂

Thank you 🙂
