This week we’ve had a lot of posts on getting started couponing the “real” way.  Now a post for all of you that have been at this for a while… how to not get burnt out (or how to work through it).  This is actually a post from almost two years ago, but sometimes it’s […]

      Shopping sales and using coupons are one huge way to save, but adding in mail in rebates can make the game even more fun! First, everyone wants to know how they work with coupons.  Most mail in rebates work beautifully with coupons!  You buy the item in the store, use any coupons and discounts […]

      Okay, so far we have the basics understood and you’ve got your coupons, now lets put it together.

                If you have been around Southern Savers for a while or attended a workshop, you know how I feel about supercenters: they can never compete with local grocery stores.However, I have noticed that many people still seem to think that shopping at supercenters is the way to go.   A year ago we tested sales […]

                  Last week I shared two options of how to organize coupons that required the least amount of time.
