Huge Smart Source score, it pays to ask :)

[sweetnlow30]

I decided to take a chance tonight and ask at my local variety store, if I could take all of the unsold newspapers for the week. He gladly handed them over and we took them home to search for Smart Source inserts. I ended up finding 17 inserts

I have them for trade, a few are picked over but not all of them. It was a good find for us!

This is a great idea--I would never have thought! I'll definitely ask around, thanks for the tip!

When do you normally go in to ask? (What is the end of the week before they normally throw them out?)

I haven't worked up the nerve to ask but I may do that some time. I've also thought about posting a general note to my building that Unit X is interested in taking in any extra coupon inserts, but I don't know how well that would go over.

I asked at the one store near us that we frequent. The owner is a very nice Chinese man. I just asked if I could have any extra papers for my neighbor's puppy, craft projects and coupons. The papers will be put to good use

Lucky you, great score! My papers are always sold out by the time I make it in... :-(

I mustered up the courage to do the same thing at the RCSS in my area, just before they closed on the sunday night. I saw the young cashier with the stack and just said excuse me could i have the coupons in the papers please? Scored around 10 inserts :o)
