About Us I am a stay at home mom with three wonderful kids. I have been married for over 8 years to my best friend. I am head over heals in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together. I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet. I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.

Get the paper for only .29 cents

idaho statesman

The Idaho Statesman just came out with a new Coupon Cents Subscription Offer

You will get ;

(1)  7-day subscription

(4) Sunday Only subscriptions

For a total of 5 Sunday papers ( those are the ones with with coupons in them)

All home delivered for a total of 5 Sunday papers for only $3.00 per week, or $12.00 per month (4 weeks) PLUS TAX. That means you will get 11 papers a week for $3.00, that is about .28 cents a paper.  News stand price for one Sunday paper is $2.00 so this is a fantastic deal home delivered.

To start your subscription call 377-NEWS (6397) and ask for the “athiftymom.com” special offer. Subscriptions need to be pre-paid and can be ordered in 13, 26 or 52 week increments. I would suggest you lock in this price for the 52 weeks, The price is locked for the term. When it expires you will move to the next best rate. So it is definitely beneficial to sign up for the 52 weeks and lock in the rate.

I am not sure how long they will run this offer so, get in while you can!

Now that is a Thrifty deal!

  • Do you get 4 Sunday papers or 5?

  • Jennifer

    So does that beat the Press Tribune?

  • Martha

    Sarah,
    This is sooo good to hear. I keep putting of subscribing, and now I’m glad I have. This is too goo.

    I called the Statesman and they said if you don’t want to do the 7-day subscription, you can do the Sunday only with a minimum sign up of 4 papers @ $.50 each. You could do 6 if you wanted for $3…a great deal.

    Also wanted to let you know the milk/cheese/yogurt coupons have been reset on coupons.com.

  • You get a total of 5 sunday papers…. 4 sunday only subscriptions and 1 weekly…hope that helps

  • Ali

    Wow…I, too, have been putting off getting a subscription…now I have no more excuses! This is AWESOME! I’m calling right now!

  • Bobbi

    This does beat the Idaho Press Deal.

  • Hey Sarah,

    Shannon posted your picture on her blog. If she hasn’t given it to you, you should get it. We are weird, we know. You are probably mortified :)

    Is this paper one that could be delivered in Idaho Falls or is it just your area? I have had my eye open for a better paper for some friends and family there than the wimpy one they get. They only get 1 smart source when we get redplum and p and g.

    And, thanks for the link for your photo binder, that was helpful.

  • I live in Utah and am super jealous of you Idaho ladies who can enjoy this amazing deal!!

  • Marsha Daves

    Do you know if they will mail this for the same deal? I live in NC and can’t get a deal like that anywhere but wondered if I could order this paper at the same price and just have it mailed to my house.

  • Stephanie

    Ok I have a huge favor to ask for all of us Arizonians… can you please work us out a deal for the Sunday only is 8.67/month and this for only one! If you want 4 or 5 you have to pay that amount times 4 or 5??!!!! The only way I can get a deal for the paper is to sign up for CouponSense which I don’t know if I want to do??

    One other question, is CouponSense worth the monthly fee they charge? How does it work?

    P.S. I know you probably can’t do anything about the news paper thing I am just complaining and seriously wondering how I can by almost $9 a month for just the Sunday paper (there is no way I can do this times 4 or 5!)

    HELP the OVERWHELMED mama trying to SAVE MONEY for her family!! Thanks for your awesome sight!

  • Jessaca

    I wish I would have held out for this deal! I am currently getting the weekly paper and 2 extra Sunday papers. Do you know if they will let me sign up for more extra Sunday papers at this price? Or is it just for new customers?

  • Andrew thanks for you help I am behind….getting Matt home from the hospital has been my top priority right now and I feel bad that i have not been able to answer questtions…so thank you

  • Angela

    I am bummed, I could have got this deal if I lived in Twin Falls city limits but since I dont I missed out on it our local paper has a deal but it isnt worth buying.

  • Katie

    I called and they said it’s only for new subscribers. So bummed!

  • Amber Stevens

    This is only good for the Ada and Canyon co. areas. Bum deal!

  • Melissa

    Katie, I was able to change over my current Coupon Cents subsription to the new special this morning. Try calling again. I locked in for the full 52 weeks since this is such a great deal!!! Thanks Thrifty Mom!

  • Jess

    Just an FYI… a month or so ago we got a note with our Idaho Stateman that said they will no longer be re-delivering papers that are missing..including missing inserts! They will only give you “credit” on your bill! So this just means to beware and make sure you are letting them know if your carrier is not putting them where they need to be in order to be safe!!

  • Aeja

    Re: Martha’s post — Just called Idaho Statesman and they just said that in order to do the “Just Sunday” subscription, it would be $1 a paper…much more expensive than the 7 Day+4 Sunday deal.

    Also, had anyone else been able to be billed monthly for their subscription? While I really want to do this deal (because it is excellent!), I was told I need to pay *all* of it up front which is quite a large chunk out of the monthly budget! Not sure we can do that…
