To maximize my savings ShouldI buy Saturday and sunday papers or are the coupons reprinted in the sunday issue. Also the red plun and ss are they in one paper or should I boyu both. Last question is there a usual date (as in the first weekend of the month) for P&G booklet? I've been buying all papers and in by the time I get to them they're a mess. I don't want to buy more than I need. THahk you
