No FAR for me, really not as good as I'd hoped to do. I live in Kansas, near Kansas City, although I didn't get that paper. Does anyone else have this problem?

sorry, just now saw this and see no one responded so I will throw my hat in.
I can't go by the sneak peeks, the lwif at Target, any of those great deal postings. it is such a regional thing that I have learned not to get so excited when something is posted as found as so and so, because more than likely it won't be the same here. you can make yourself crazy trying to match others' delas!

so that is not a solution to your problem just saying I am in the same boat :D

whatsthedeal · 01-27-2004, 08:19 PM

Not a solution, but a suggestion, may be to try to jump on a coupon train. This way you may get an envie with some of those in there. It is interesting to see the different coupons that come from different parts of the country.

antangee · 01-28-2004, 09:06 AM

I have the same problem. I never get all the cpns the preview sites show, plus the ones I do get are usually lower value cpns.

I never ever get any of the free cpns that other regions get.

Lootyaj · 01-28-2004, 09:15 AM

Thank you for your replies. Too bad I can't go by sneak peaks, but it is still nice to get a surprise every Sunday morning, I guess

I just did my first coupon trade (very new to couponing) and it has gotten me all excited! Maybe a coupon train is next for me!

Thanks again for your replies

luckyme · 01-28-2004, 08:46 PM

I'm glad you've started couponing, Lootyaj
Stick around here and you'll learn the ropes.
Don't get discouraged just cuz your paper doesn't have a certain coupon.
My local paper never has the great coupons, but I have to take it to get the local grocery ads.
I can also subscribe to the Chicago Tribune which has Fantastic coupons. I did that for a while but soon found I didn't like paying the price of the paper.
Tradeing is the way to go.
And the Sneak peaks allow us to know what coupons are out there to search to trade for!
HAVE fun.

I think the sneak peeks apply to the big papers.

I know if I get the Plain Dealer I get them all, however, the AKron Beacon does not carry them (Hence I get piles of PDs now)

Lootyaj · 02-02-2004, 09:18 AM

Thanks for your replys

I got the Kansas City Star, and it definately has more/better coupons. Funny thing is is it is $.25 cheaper than our local paper! LOL

lone_gun · 02-03-2004, 04:36 PM

I get the Washington Post in addition to my local paper - Post is cheaper, and the coupons are better as well!

kelzilla · 02-03-2004, 06:05 PM

Hrrrrm. May have to try picking up a non local paper this week and see what I get :D

Tigerseye0420 · 02-03-2004, 07:35 PM

I think it has more to do with location then how big the paper is! I live near detroit and get the detroit free press and still dont get any good coupons! I thought that paper would have good ones for sure. But most that say $1.00 off or more on the sneak preview come in my paper as 25 cents off!
