Every Sunday, there are 'inserts' in the newspaper with coupons in them. Sometimes, there are some newspapers that put their coupons in the Saturday paper. I've even heard of one paper getting the coupons on Wednesday instead of Sunday. But more often that not, they are in the Sunday paper. There are 3 different kinds of inserts that may appear in the paper all at once together, or maybe just one in a weekend. Here is how you may see them abbreviated.
