Look for two coupon inserts -- one Smart Source and one Red Plum -- in this Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.

There will be a combined total of  92 coupons with a face value of $86. That may seem a little low, but I've had a look at the coupons and there are several that will make for some nice deals.



I'll have the coupon database updated and the best Sunday deals posted early Sunday morning, about the same time your paper hits the driveway.

That way, you'll have the most complete and up-to-date coupon information for the Triangle at your finger tips.

Please note: Single-copy and State Edition papers may not contain all coupon inserts.

Be sure to take note of the new CVS ad in today's Fourth of July edition of The News & Observer.

There's a 20 percent off savings pass on the front of the one-page ad, which gives you a 20 percent discount off most regularly priced items. As always with these kinds of coupons, please read the fine print for exclusions.

In addition, many of Sunday's sales continue, including the fantastic deal on Coke brand 2 liters for 79 cents. Limit 6.

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.

If you're a coupon clipper, the Sunday newspaper can be a gold mine.

With an election coming up this fall and North Carolina shaping up as a key battleground state, we're going to be in for a long stretch of overheated political debate -- some of which will probably involve accusations that the News & Observer is just a mouthpiece for liberal propaganda. It's not for me to say whether or not that's true. But it seems worth reminding one and all that a long, long time ago, the N&O was seen as a far different kind of mouthpiece.

For example, below is something a friend just pointed out and which I somehow missed until now: a 2008 album cover by the hip-hop band The Roots, paired with the 1898 cartoon it was based on. And this particular cartoon, an unbelievable bit of race-baiting called "The Vampire That Hovers Over North Carolina," was drawn by one Norman E. Jennette and published in the N&O on Sept. 27, 1898.

This September, as it happens, The Roots will be in Raleigh to play Hopscotch. Think they might have something to say about this?
 

(Thanks, Eddie.)
