It’s great for getting local and International headlines, sports scores and movie times, but did you know that the Sunday paper can save you big bucks? For everyone who says a newspaper subscription is a waste of money– here are five reasons why that’s not true.

1. Grocery Coupons: This is an obvious one. Clipping grocery coupons from the Sunday paper can slash lots of money off of your food bill. You can also use the paper to investigate advertised sales at local grocery stores and pair those up with coupons for added savings.

2. Advertised Deals: Local businesses are still using the Sunday paper to advertise sales. Find out where you can get the best bank for your buck by perusing ads. Area restaurants may have specials and deals you didn’t know about otherwise.

3. Pharmacy Coupons: Almost every Sunday the paper has store ads for big name pharmacy chains that include coupons for prescription transfers. Use this coupon with a new or transferred prescription to get a gift card to use at the store. If you can’t use these coupons then sell them on eBay for extra cash.

4. Free Events: Find out where the free fun is with the Sunday paper. Get details on free events, happenings and shows that you can take part in. It will keep you from simply heading to the movie theater next weekend and instead you can enjoy some free fun.

5. Classified Ads: Find out where next week’s yard sales are and hit them up for great deals on furniture, household items and clothing. The Sunday paper will have a great list of places to score deals.
