As many of us know, each Sunday morning there is a new surprise awaiting us on our doorstep (if we subscribe to the Sunday paper)! I have tracked down the Coupon Insert schedule for 2011. What this is, is a list of what inserts (Smart Source, Red Plum, General Mills as well as Proctor & Gamble) we should expect to receive in our Sunday paper each week. Sometimes there is only one insert, sometimes multiples as high as 5 or 6, thus the weekly surprise! Please remember, there are usually no inserts on Holiday weekends (Valentine’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas), but sometimes they like to mix things up and surprise us. Below is the list to the best of my knowledge. If we hear of changes, we will update it as soon as possible.

Also, unless you subscribe to the Sunday paper, there is no guarantee that you will get all the inserts that are in the paper. I always recommend subscribing to your Sunday paper for a few reasons.
1) It is usually cheaper if you subscribe and catch a deal
2) You don’t have to track down the paper in rain, sleet or snow, it is delivered straight to you
3) You are guaranteed the inserts verses hoping you get what you pay for at the newstand.

To subscribe to your Sunday paper, call them or visit there website and look for a promotion. You can also check prices at Discounted Newspapers and perhaps score a deal!
