I made it out to two stores this week, Publix and CVS.  I had a fun moment at Publix when the cashier asked me if I was a coupon student of someones (sorry I can’t remember the name).  I nicely said no, and said that I ran a website and taught my own classes.  She asked what site, so I told her.  At which point she yelled “You run Southern Savers!”  I have only run into one person in all my shopping that was a reader so it made me smile to meet a second person.

**I’m excited to have a new feature.  We are a test site for Cellfire’s new interactive banner.  You can select and load your e coupons from Southern Savers.  This is just a test program so if you have any problems or questions let me know. **

I apologize for no picture again this week.  After unloading groceries in the rain I just had no energy to line it all up.  I’m pondering getting a small camera to keep in my purse and to take a picture of the overflowing buggy.
