Occasionally there may a ‘bonus’ SS insert, which is named SS #2

RP

Redplum insert
Depending on your region, RP is usually a standard part of the weekly paper, just like SS

(When I do coupon matchups, I will list which coupon the insert came from along with the date of the Sunday paper it was in. For instance, 4/11 SS means the Smartsource insert from the 4/11 Sunday paper)
