Reader Question: Locating Coupon Dates

Reader Joanne asked about an easy way to find out when a coupon insert was released.

Question:
I get coupons from various sources. I have my friends and family collect coupons for me and I pick them up throughout the month. I love being able to get coupons from different areas but I’m struggling to keep them organized! Their coupons don’t have the same cover pages and often have different coupons enclosed. I am a little behind on playing the match game to figure out which week these coupons are from!! Is there an easier way to figure out the dates?

Answer:
Hi Joanne. Yes, there is a much easier way to locate the release date on your coupon inserts. On the spine of the coupon insert cover page (in very small print) is the release date and the publication (see pic).
