There are various type of coupons. Whenever I refer to published coupons, I am referring to Smartsource(SS), Redplum(RP) and Proctor and Gamble (P&G). Smartsource and Redplum are published weekly according to a schedule. Click here for the schedule. Proctor and Gamble is published monthly and is included with the weekend newspaper. General Mills(GM) and Target have inserts that appear in major Sunday newspapers. I consider coupons found in magazines as published too. I do not cut these coupons until I am preparing my shopping list.
