Did you know that the Sunday paper contains lots of savings?
My Nashville hostess, Mandi, is a full-blown "couponer." Because I, too, want to be a frugal shopper, I picked her brain about how she cut her grocery bill by 1/3. She shared the site Southern Savers with me. Although I'm still getting the hang of it all, the site was very helpful. I was thwarted several times in my attempts by faulty printers, but I still managed to find a lot of great coupons! What I really enjoyed was cutting out all of the deals in the paper. I then compared my manufacturers' coupons to the buy-one-get-one deals at Publix. The next step was an examination of the cupboards and fridge. A quick peak revealed what items I could cross off my list. I have several great coupons that I can apply to items that are already buy-one-get-one. Oooo! This makes me so excited! From the list I planned out some meals for my family this week.
Did you know that Publix will also accept competitors' coupons? Watch for weekly Albertsons coupons in the mail.
I love coupons :)
ReplyDeleteOk, here's the question:
ReplyDeleteAre the coupons for more than processed foods? I'm sure this would work great for sundries (paper goods, detergents, etc) but I have never seen coupons on the fresh stuff.
Thanks for the link! I will check it out! Publix is my store. Great to hear they take competitors' coupons.
I asked Mandi the same question. Produce is rarely on sale, but things like cereals, oatmeal (and I don't mean just the small packages), canned goods, yogurts, and juices are among those for which I saw coupons.
ReplyDeleteChristina just got into southernsavers.com from a friend of ours from South Carolina. Our friend, who isn't even that hardcore into it, said she always saves more than she spends, which, of course, is awesome.
