No More Red Plum Inserts in the Tampa Area in your Sunday Paper as of June 1st.


****BREAKING NEWS****

As of June 1, 2014 the Red Plum will not be in the Sunday Paper in some Central Florida Areas. Unfortunately it looks like Tampa is one of the areas who will be effected by this change including the Tampa Tribune and Tampa Times. 

If you live in the Orlando area it looks like you will still receive your Red Plum in the Orlando Sentential. 

To see if your area is effected you can click here but the 
Spring Hill Area is listed as ONLY Red Plum Home Mailer.

Now first of all this is not new, in 2009  Red Plum suddenly stopped distributing the inserts in the Sunday Papers in other areas such as Ohio, New Jersey, and Texas to name a few. Instead of the papers being found in the Sunday Paper they where found for free in your mailbox along with that weeks circulars. 

Now when this occurred Sites where putting out the information and there was even a site that started called bringbackthecoupons.com which is no longer up and running. 
Now there were a few sites around then for couponing
You can read the original post about this back then  
Yes they have been around that long!

But remember this happened in 1999 and couponing has taken on a whole new following. If you look back in 1999 there where few coupon sites and now everywhere you turn there is a coupon group here coupon site here. I should know I am one of them. 

But this does not mean the end of coupons. Yes it brings forth change but it is not the end of couponing. 

Right now I get a Smart Source insert in my driveway every week and see tons of these papers thrown about each day and days after when they dispurse them in my area. I think of it as an extra insert but this may just be the way that I will now receive the Red Plum. 
 So go ahead and put the word out and let your neighbors know that you would be willing to take them off their hands. 

If that does not help you remember this.. it is not all areas that are loosing the Red Plum inserts and as noted earlier they are still going to be in the Orlando Sentinel Paper. So ordering from an insert site will be another option. And yes ordering just the coupons that you need from a clipping site will also help. 

I am sure that people still coupon in New Jersey and Ohio and that not getting the Red Plum in their papers did not stop them from saving money they just had to think outside the box. 

Couponing is not ending it is just changing.

HAPPY COUPONING!
