After looking through the coupons from my Joplin Globe this morning, I decided to go and pick up a Kansas City Star. It has SO many more coupons than our local paper it is just astounding. I’ve compared each insert side by side in the past and it’s not even close, the bigger city papers get way more coupons for sure. I let my subscription to the Star expire awhile back because they wanted to charge me more than double the cost of the paper to deliver it. I called them up and asked for a better rate, they dropped they price, but still was not a good deal in my opinion, so I passed. I have been keeping an eye out for a better deal, but haven’t spotted one as of yet.
In the meantime, I headed to my very nearby Dollar General to pick up one and snag a few deals while I was there. Tip: Some Dollar Tree Stores carry Sunday Newspapers and sell them for only $1.00. The one here in Joplin sells the Star, but head’s up, if you want one, be sure and get there right when they open, because from what I’ve heard, people are standing in line at the door waiting for them to open on Sunday mornings. I haven’t gone to pick up a Sunday paper from the one in Joplin since they moved after the tornado. It’s just too far out of my way now to justify the trip, especially in this heat. 😉
Anyway, I checked Dollar General’s ad this morning and noticed a few deals, so here’s what I snagged on this trip. I’m working on a Dollar General post for the week, so stay tuned later today…
- KC Star – $2.00
- 1 Stayfree Pads – $2.00, Used $2.00/1 Stayfree 7/22 SS insert

- 2 Ragu Pasta Sauce (26 oz.) – $1.50 ea., Used $0.60/2 Ragu 7/29 RP insert and $1.00/2 Dollar General Store coupon

They sell the KC star at dollar tree in Carthage for $1.
If you are in Joplin or Carthage, you can pick up the KC Star at Dollar Tree for only $1.00!!!
I wish we had two Dollar Trees here in Joplin, I know this town would easily support 2 stores! 🙂
Walgreens in Bolivar, MO has the KC Star for $1.35 (that includes tax). I’m assuming others would have it for the same price. We don’t have a Dollar Tree here either.
They are $2.00 at our Walgreens in Joplin (last time I checked anyway).
