lovebears65 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I stopped at a convient store as the papers were being delivered. I had to go through 4 to get the best buy ad only to find out that Sears, Circuit city and Lowes was not in the ad plus I had two walmart which I could do without LOL. I had to on later that day to find the paper with the ads I was missing. I did get them but it was hard everyone was sold out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The End Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I didn't have a problem like that this year. Last year however, my paper was missing a couple of ads. I didn't care about a couple of the ads that where missing, but not having the Radio Shack ad kind of sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvason Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Absolutely.... I bought 4 papers (they had a $10 Macys coupon that my wife wanted), and there were two papers missing ads, and different ones at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auditgirl Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 My mom works for a local paper and ads are distributed by zip code. Papers going to subscribers in a certain zip codes get first dibs, if there are any left over ads they are added to single copy paper sold at convenience stores and paper machines. Not all stores print equal number of ads either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewwise Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Yes, we had this problem. We didn't get Kohl's, Sears, Lowe's, Big Lots or ACE. Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head! Also, our newspaper raised their price from the daily rate of 50 cents to $1.75 for the Thanksgiving issue! Normally even the thanksgiving paper is only 50 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shopping mom Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I bought six papers (big family) but I stopped at two 7'11 stores to get them. I was disappointed that out of six papers we were missing the Macy's ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 We get ours delivered, and it was missing ads. I can remember not receiving Sears, CC, Ritz, and Ace off the top of my head. Might be a few others, but I guess I didnt miss them. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarerice Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I never get all the ads in our newspaper!!!! I havn't gotten KBToys like 2 years in a row. I come to expect it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 We had too many ads. Our newspaper put double everything in most of the papers, it was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwalker Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 We bought two different papers (NY Post and NY Newsday) at a corner store, so we got most of them. We did not get ACE Hardware or Sears. Stoped by an ACE we saw while traveling on Saturday and got all the things I wanted, thanks to GottaDeal.

freesia39 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 the ONE that i really wanted - michael's - was NOT in the paper we got. i really wanted those turkey bucks, and of course, a copy was not available at the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuzz52 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 no toys r us for me. but i have this problem on a regular basis- depending on where i buy it, i either have no michaels or no kohls and toys r us. the toys r us is most frustrating to me becuase there is only one in town and therefore i think it shoudl be distributed everywehre. but i have to plan ahead to decide whre to buy the paper based on the sales/my needs that week.
