A reader has advised that his Sunday Trib contained the 3 Smart Source inserts but only 2 redplums.  It’s possible that the Chicago area got two redplums combined.  Note that the Chicago Wall Street Journal, which usually contains 99% of the Trib coupons, only contains 2 Smart Source inserts and NO redplums.

This Sunday’s paper is scheduled to have SIX inserts:  Three Smart Source and three red plum.    While I love getting all the inserts, it’s usually a big pain to differentiate r1 from r3 when you’re looking for a coupon.

In the Chicago Tribune, the red plum 2 is showing a coupon for a FREE (up to $1.50) Good n’ natural bar.  The problem with this freebie is that if you don’t grab ’em on that first day, you’ll watch the coupons expire…which has happened more often than I’d like because I like these bars!  They sell these at CVS, Walgreens and maybe Jewel (things change).

Remember, Dollar Tree and other dollar stores have the Sunday papers for sale starting early afternoons on Saturday; I believe Menards does, too.  Given the number of inserts, this paper will sell out quickly and you’ll find some stores limiting the number you can purchase.  In any case, make sure you’re there early enough!
