Utah subscibers- The Daily Herald will be the ONLY paper that will continue to deliver the RedPlum insert in the Sunday paper when this switch is made. I got this information from an email from Amy the Savvy Shopper and you can read about it on her site here.
Thanks for Pinching Your Pennies for letting me know about Valassis switching the delivery method of the RedPlum coupon insert from Sunday newspaper to mailbox:
Grocery coupons found in newspaper inserts have become an important money saving tool for Utah consumers. Many Utah families are surviving these tough economic times because of increased coupon use. In August, Utah consumers will lose half of these coupons when Red Plum coupon insert distribution is discontinued in the Utah market. Valassis Communications, publisher of the Red Plum coupon insert, has opted to distribute the coupons by mail. The problem for Utah consumers is that the direct mailing will be in targeted areas only. There are many coupon users who do not live in these targeted areas and will not be receiving the coupons. These mailings will also be limited to one insert per household. Many coupon shoppers currently purchase more than one Sunday newspaper to obtain more than one copy of the money saving coupon inserts. This provides Utah consumers with increased purchasing power and an effective way to combat the economic stress.
Join us in telling Valassis Communications "Don't cut my coupons!"
