Take the weekend off, coupon clippers. It's Labor Day weekend, which means no coupon inserts this Sunday.

Enjoy your long weekend with family and friends.

Even though there won't be coupons to add to the database, I'll still have an updated version for you bright and early Sunday morning, removing all the expired coupons from August.

If you're a Krispy Kreme doughnut fan, be sure to check this morning's News & Observer.

Many of you, depending on location, received a one-page Krispy Kreme ad that includes five coupons.

One of the coupons is for a FREE doughnut -- your choice between the "cotton candy" doughnut and the "caramel apple" doughnut.

The other coupons are:

Look for three coupon inserts -- one Smart Source, one Red Plum and the September P&G BrandSaver  -- in this Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.

There will be a combined total of 192 coupons with a face value of about $375 -- and that's before every-day double coupons, which we're fortunate to have at Kroger, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods.



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

Thanks to a new coupon in Sunday's newspaper, Hershey's Simple Pleasures chocolate candy is free for the taking at Target -- with the right coupon combination, of course.

Simple Pleasures candy regularly sells for $2.99 at Target.

Use the $2/1 coupon from Sunday's Smart Source coupon insert, along with Target's $1/1 printable store coupon.

All you will need to pay is tax.

This giveaway is now closed.

Rocky Top operates several eateries in the Triangle, including Twisted Fork, Tribeca Tavern and the Daily Planet Cafe, which is part of the new Nature Reserarch Center of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh.

The News & Observer's  coupon database has been updated with all of the new coupons.
This Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contains two inserts -- one Smart Source and one Red Plum -- for a total of 109 coupons with a face value of about $148.
That's before you double the first coupon, of course, which we have the opportunity to do every day of the week at Kroger, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods.

And this week, through Tuesday evening, we have the chance to "super double" coupons up to and including $2 at Harris Teeter. Check out my separate post HERE matching up the new coupons for new deals at HT.

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, giving you the most timely and detailed list of coupons in the Triangle.
