Really upset today with the coupons
I'm really P.O today.I sent my daughter to caseys to get 2 sunday papers. Looked on the coupon site and there were alot of coupons i could use. So when she got back all the good coupons were missing, only left was pet foods and hba. A few single coupons for food. I contacted the local caseys they said i would have to contact the paper on this. This is bull, its not the first time this happen at this store. So i went back up there and looked through the rest of the papers and all the same way. These were not just FORGOTTEN. So i went to another place in town and looked through there and they were all there. But i was so furious i just spent 4 bucks and wasnt about to spend anymore money. I think i will stick to just get coupons off of coupon clippers... When i was working at a store a few yearsa ago we had a lady who opened on Sunday mornings and after a few months we started getting complaints about the coupons being gone.Come to find out the opening person was taking them.
My manager didnt have a issue with us taking the coupons on Monday morning after the tops were clipped for credit from the paper .They just get thrown away. But the cashier was creedy and left none. She later got fired for stealing lipstick. LOLIf you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to

Conact the paper, they may replace the coupons and get to the bottom of it if they were all missing.

I have had the same thing happen when I bought papers from the Rite Aid closest to my house.
I would contact the paper. Ours will replace any coupon inserts that were missing.DD (19)

Same thing here today. Got out super early to be sure to get two papers today since I knew there would be alot this Sunday. Had daughter get out to get a paper and she didn't pay any attention and put in $1.50 and there weren't any papers there yet, they were late getting to town. Hubby called and I told him to please get one if he sees them anywhere. Waited a few hours later stopped at the same store and had her make sure there were Sunday's papers, she gets back to the car and there are only two coupon inserts. I thought for sure that had to be wrong, so went on to the grocery store and saw they had a machine, bought yet one more and there were five in that one!
Well in all this I forgot to call my hubby and tell him I found some, so guess what, he brought home two with all five inserts.

Definitely let the paper know - it's their product that's being trashed. What a bummer for you. Grrrrrr. Looks like we need to be even more diligent in all of our frugal ways!! So sorry that this is happening. Wish we had coupons in our paper to send you.

This has happened to me too, several times. I wonder if that is why some people buy the coupon inserts from internet sites. I have only bought coupons one time from a site and it was worth it. I may check it out again and see if it is cheaper just to buy the inserts.

plan on reporting to the paper. People like us buy the paper for the coupons. I will buy inserts or just certain coupons from now on.

I know just how you feel, Nana! Had paper issues myself this Suday. Well I called the paper and one of the questions on the recording asked about missing sections. Can't see why your's wouldn't be the same.
Hang in there, but do call!
HUGS!!

This may just be a simple solution but after calling the paper just buy the paper somewhere else. (It might not be as close to home but at least there wouldn't be the same problem)
