Here are some notes of interest to couponers from the 12/2/12 Chicago Tribune, including coupons and values that differ from the previews. Note that ads and flyers can vary by location depending what stores are near you and what they decide to put in your paper. SmartSource is split in two again this week, so don’t toss one by accident!
