That's my gripe too. If you're going to give me a low value coupon, at least allow me to only have to buy 1 of the item, not 2 or 3. And for the full page ads where they want you to use the order form to order their product, I wonder how many people actually order them, if it really pays for them to advertise in the "coupon" section of the newspaper.

I've also noticed that Dollar General has started having about 4 pages of ads hidden in the coupon inserts!

This REALLY ticks me off when it comes to cereal. I'm a huge cereal eater....especially Kelloggs. And lately all their coupons are $1 off 3. THREE! You want me to spend $15 on cereal to save a lousy buck?? Think again!

They (Smart source, Redplum) probably need companies like that, to keep paying for the inserts. Since all the food manufactures have gone to printables (which also aren't all that great), they need advertisers to make money. And sadly it's become nothing but an advertisement insert.

Jealous, Red Plum and P & G don't give coupons out here anymore... so it's just the Smart Source and every once in awhile ones for toys. I've contacted both companies several times but not one employee has been able to help me and when they tell me they will get back to me... they don't.. buncha liars!
