In honor of the Fourth of July, Starbucks is offering folks a freebie.

Anyone who stops in to a local Starbucks will get a free tall hot-brewed coffee on July 4.

The News & Observer's  coupon database has been updated.

This Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contains just one insert -- a P&G with 60 coupons valued at $74.

Kind of slim pickings, I know. But most holiday weekends, we receive no coupons at all, so no complaints here.

Not familiar with the coupon database? You can access it on the right-hand side of the blog. There's a button at the bottom right to view it as a full-size page.
Or, you can download it as an Excel spreadsheet by clicking on the attachment at the bottom of this post.
It's a handy tool, listing every coupon we receive in the Sunday N&O and providing the most timely and detailed list of coupons in the Triangle.

For a detailed how-to post on the database, read my Coupons 101 post HERE.
