Couponing FAQ: finding the insert date

There’s no need to freak out if you file your coupons by insert and forget to write the date on the cover – did you know that information is printed right on the insert every week?

It’s teeny-tiny print, and often right on the fold, but if you’re trying to figure out what date a coupon insert came from, check the outside cover of the insert – on the binding you’ll find the insert date and a list of the newspapers it came in.

If you file by insert, it’s probably still easier to write the date on the cover, since the printed date is so small.  But if you ever forget, or someone gives you old inserts, just check on the edge!
