Because of the Memorial Day weekend, you won't find any coupon inserts in this Sunday's News and Observer.

Take a break from coupon clipping and enjoy the time off with your family and friends.

The News & Observer's coupon database has been updated with all of Sunday's new coupons.

The home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contains two inserts -- one Smart Source and a Red Plum -- for a total of 134 coupons with a face value of nearly $150.

Be sure to snag the coupon for a FREE Cherry Berry Chiller from McDonald's that's in the Parade magazine, along with another coupon for $1 off a medium or large McCafe frozen strawberry lemonade, frappe or smoothie.

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 Triangle in the Sunday N&O.

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

There will be a combined total of 146 coupons with a face value of approximately  $196 in the home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.

Let me just say, there are a few unusual coupons that we don't see very often and at least one coupon in the P&G that will yield a nice freebie.

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.

It's Easter weekend, which means no coupons in today's newspaper.

Even so, I've tweeked the database, removing expired coupons and bolding all the coupons that will expire over the next week. That way, you'll be able to tell at a glance whether you're running out of time to use a coupon.

If you're not sure how to best use the database, check out my how-to post here, which ran as part of my Coupons 101 series.

With Easter this weekend, there won't be any coupon inserts in this Sunday's News & Observer.

Enjoy the clip-free weekend.

Or, if you're like me, use the time to catch up on clipping and filing.

Sad to say, but I have yet to clear my binder of all those coupons that expired March 31.
