Sad news for me.

Dear Friends,
It has come to my attention that there will no longer be any Knoxville News Sentinel newspapers delivered to my area. The reason? The economy.

Why does this matter to me? Because that ONE Knox paper is the ONLY one around here that had the coupon inserts in them. (Proctor & Gamble or P&G, SmartSource, and Red Plum/Valassis)
Not being able to buy that paper every Sunday to get those inserts pretty much cuts off the life blood of my CVS deals and grocery stockpiling.
You see, I live over 70 miles away from Knoxville and I guess it has become cost prohibitive for them to deliver that paper to this area now.

Thank goodness I have of a couple of friends that send me what they won't use. Believe me I appreciate that very, very much.
My only other option is to look at the advance ads the minute they come out and try to ORDER (read: PAY) for the coupons for the upcoming deals/sales. This is not good. Sometimes the ads are not posted THAT far in advance. Shipping inserts is also expensive now too.

I am so sad about this guys. All the little white paper boxes are gone. Walgreens used to sell them inside the store and those are now gone too. =(

If anyone knows of another way I could acquire the inserts on a weekly basis, PLEASE let me know.

Awwwww, well girl, you are welcome to mine too :) I only cut out a couple things (normally just kids things and all things smelly lol like airsprays and candles) and then GASP, toss the rest, so you can have them if you like?

I'll take whatever you do not want, Nikki.

Those Forever stamps I sent are still good and will cover the postage. Thanks. =)

I was wondering where you were getting your stacks of coupons. Sorry that source will be no more. I know someone :) who's willing to help you buy a newspaper for the inserts every week and send them to you, but it seems like that would pretty expensive.
