SUN NEWSPAPERS
They have Smart Source and other coupons in their paper. They cost 75 cents retail – cheaper at Marcs. The coupons are comparable to what is in the PD.
Get the PD and get the Sun newspaper for only 1 cent more at Discount Drug Mart until Nov. 3rd. So on Sunday it will cost $1.90 total for the two papers and 75 cents during the week.
Sun has a good set of Smart Source coupons in their paper. The paper costs 75 cents and is sold for less at Marcs. An option when getting extra sets of coupons instead of paying more for a Sunday paper.
Coupons in the Sun Newspaper (east side):
Free car charger from Sprint (current Sprint customers).
Get a free appetizer with a $25 purchase.
Dunn Hardware – $2 off anything coupon.

NEWS HERALD DEAL
PLAIN DEALER
The PD has the best coupons around the Cleveland metro area papers. The Akron Beacon Journal has Red Plum and Smart Source coupon inserts in their paper, but they typically are smaller inserts than most markets.
The PD doesn’t have Red Plum because Valassis, the company that owns them, mails them to the Cleveland market. Stinks, because some people that are in the Cleveland market don’t get Red Plum inserts mailed to them. Plus there is no way of getting extras or a replacement if you don’t get it mailed to you. However their Smart Source coupon inserts typically have more coupons than the ABJ. You’ll get Proctor and Gamble inserts in the PD too like we did today.
Deals for subscribing to the PD:

ING DIRECT
Are you earning less than 1% interest on your bank savings? Most likely you are earning around .25% at local banks. Stinky. Try banking through internet banks. They are FDIC insured and you can transfer cash to your regular local bank when needed. But the best thing about them is that their interest rates are over 1% and that’s with no minimum amount! ING Direct is at 1.1% APY.
Other ones to check out are Discover bank, Capital One, and Ally Bank.

Notice all the ‘internet cafes’ opening up all over the place. They remind me of all the payday lender places that were on every corner. Looks like there was a loophole in the gambling law.

HABITS
Do you work with a group of people that have annoying habits? If you do, then you’ll appreciate the article on the link below. Hey, maybe one of them is you! I noticed I fit in some of the categories. We all can’t be perfect. Just beware of the touchie-feelie stinkie person.

Hey Joe,
My sister Rosemarie went to school with you, class of 1985. I think your sister was in my class year 1987. Anyway, I always read your blog. i’m sure you are probably already aware, but Giant Eagle added 10 pages of e-coupons and they stack with the MQ’s. So on the sinex deal, you make $6 for buying 2. ($4 MQ, $4 MQ, $4 e-coupon, and $4 oyno) Hopefully you are well caffeinated after last week’s ridiculous Maxwell deal and write some more funny stories on your blog.
John
Hello John!
I hope the both of you have been doing well. I don’t think I’ve seen Rosmarie since we graduated. I remember you too. Still smart too since you found the hidden deal with Sinex! I have a cold so the deal came at the right time. And yes, I loaded up on Maxwell House. Lately, I’ve been making multiple stops at Giant Eagle with their great deals.
And yes, stay tuned for some more stories. I think between the cold medicine and coffee I should whip up some good ones.
Feel free to drop me a note and Rosemary too at joe@joethecouponguy.com.
Keep saving! Joe
