Post Register

If you call the circulation desk and have your P.Y.P. special put onto an auto pay program they are going to offer a discount!

Right now the deal is = get your daily paper + 5 Sunday papers for $20.00

Is that worth subscribing to? The Jury is still out, if you can get a better deal let me know, but historically I have more than paid for the papers in savings.

If I go to the gas station and buy 5 Sunday papers per week, then my monthly cost will rack quickly up to $7.50 per week x 4 weeks = $30.00 a month. DEFINITELY WORTH THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE!

NOW if you do an auto pay PR is going to drop the price to $17.00 a month. That comes down to 85 CENTS PER SUNDAY PAPER, and that is not taking into account for the paper that will come weekly. Now keep in mind the Sunday paper is NOT the only place for deals, Albertson's for example likes to plant "doublers" in inserts and odd places that can greatly increase savings!!! For example TODAY is supposed to have some GREAT coupons in the paper and it is WEDNESDAY!!!

For those that only get Sunday Papers sometimes, or are waiting for the deal to happen before looking for the coupon here is a word of warning. It is not unusual for the coupon to be 3-4 weeks old and ALMOST ready to expire before you can use it to it's maximum potential. Thus buying a Sunday paper because there might be a good sale on the following Wednesday will NOT pay off, as you will most likely need coupons from 2-3, maybe even a month prior to the sale.

If you buy 2 Sunday papers a week and do that weekly for 4 weeks your cost is $12.00 a month. That purchase plan will give you 2 of each coupon needed, for another $5.00 a month that will give you 5 of every Sunday coupon insert, and you won't miss out on the weekly random deals.

The only way I know that will be a better deal is:

#1 find friends who take the paper that don't coupon

#2 the Rexburg Standard Journal has bi-weekly papers + 5 Saturday papers (they don't circulate on Sunday) for $11.00, but out where I live they aren't willing to deliver.


Just some food for thought!!! Happy Couponing!!!
