. This Sunday there will be a Smartsource and RedPlum insert in the newspaper. Check out Taylor Town Preview for a list of what coupons that you can expect. Please note that these may vary by region. *ALWAYS make sure to check your papers for inserts before you purchase!! After speaking to a representative for The Times Picayune, I've learned that most of the insert coupons are now going to people who have home delivery on their Sunday Papers. This may be why many of you aren't finding coupons in the papers available for sale in our area. The most asked questions that I get are about local newspaper inserts so here are a few answers: First of all, I would like to note that in my weekly Sunday Coupon Preview, I list the inserts that are available nationally . While I realize that both The Advocate and The Times-Picayune will/may not have all of the available inserts in them, I want to give you information about what's out there. With that said, here are

. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I always find that the best advice comes from other people's mistakes and successes. With that in mind, I wanted to share one of my own recent experience in hopes that it will help you too. By the way, this is NOT a paid post and as a matter of fact this company doesn't even know that I am writing about them. If you're a facebook fan of mine, you might have read that my family is in the process of getting a new car. Yes the Howes' clan has outgrown our 5-seater so we're moving up to a 7-seater. A little something you guys may not know about me...I'm picky....very picky. So it's no surprise to my husband that I want to see EVERY car in our price range before making a decision. A friend of mine recommended that we give Car Max a shot. I have to admit that I was a little reluctant since I hadn't even considered a used car, but I figured it couldn't hurt. I am going to say something and I d

. Who wants a FREE CC's CoffeeHouse Smoothie? Now that I have your attention, here's how we can ALL get a FREE Smoothie in September: CC’s CoffeeHouse recently launched an all new line of smoothies in four flavors (Strawberry, Strawberry Banana, Mango and Superfruit). To help spread the word on their new smoothies; CC’s developed a fun facebook campaign. They are asking customers to buy a smoothie and upload a photo of themselves with a smoothie to their Facebook page ( www.facebook.com/ccscoffeehouse ). One photo a week will be selected as “CC’s Smoothie Fan of the Week”. That fan’s photo will be featured on CC’s Facebook page as well as digital billboards throughout South Louisiana. If they get 500 fan photos by August 31, CC’s will host a Free Smoothie Day for all customers in September. The date will be released once the goal is reached. Let's all do our part to get CC's Free Smoothie Day. I would love to know if anyone makes their Fan of the Week.

. Just wanted to remind you to take advantage of this weekend's State Tax Holiday. What is the Sales Tax Holiday? The Louisiana Sales Tax Holiday provides an exemption from state sales tax on the first $2,500 of the purchase price of most individual items of tangible personal property for non-business use. The state sales tax is payable on the portion of the purchase price of any individual item in excess of $2,500. The holiday will apply to the 4 percent state sales tax, but will not apply to the sales taxes levied by parishes, municipalities, school boards, and other political subdivisions of the state. The 2011 holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 5, and continues through 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, August 6. The statute creating the holiday establishes the dates as the first consecutive Friday and Saturday each August. This information comes directly from The Louisiana State Revenue's website.
