We are not expecting any inserts for 02/12 (Presidents’ Day weekend). Be safe, and enjoy the holiday time with family and friends!
And look for Save and SmartSource inserts on 2/19, we’ve already seen some of the insert previews online!

Did you know that every area and paper gets different coupons in their inserts?
This is one of the biggest things that can frustrate couponers — we all want the great coupons but sometimes only a few select areas get them. Each week volunteers send in insert variation lists to show exactly what coupons were in their papers. I take these and put them into the coupon database. In turn you can then have shopping lists that only show the coupons in your area! Take a look at the coupon insert variations for 02/05, below.
Click on your newspaper to see which coupons you actually received.
If your paper is not covered and you’re interested in helping, feel free to email me at jenny@southernsavers.com for directions. I promise it’s easy!
As volunteers send me their lists I will continue to update this list.
A legend for the list:
Black = You got this coupon!
Red = Not in this insert
Blue = A change in value, or a new coupon not in the preview.

I am by no means a professional seamstress, but I have a sewing machine and enjoy using it to create simple projects. I’ve made some elastic waistband skirts, some small pillows, and I even recently made a baby blanket.
One of my favorite simple projects is to sew a gift bag. These don’t require much fabric and are great for scraps. If you’re giving outside your family, they add a personal, handmade touch to the gift. For within your family, they can be reused! I hope in the coming years to use up all my random Christmas fabric and make gift bags for presents so that we can use them year after year. Today I’m going to show you how to sew a gift bag. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can hand sew this without a lot of issues. This could also be a no-sew project if you use fusible adhesive hem tape.
How to Sew a Gift Bag
This really will be a simple project, and would be great for teaching a new sewer how to use a machine or even hand sew.

As far as supplies, you’ll need:
Two pieces of fabric, either the same kind of complementary patterns/colors
Scissors
Safety pin
Straight pins or Wonderclips
Ruler
Sewing machine (or needle and thread)
Twine or ribbon
Chalk pencil or heat-erasable pen (optional)
Rotary cutter (optional)

The first step is to cut your fabric. I wanted to fit an object inside this one that was approximately 3 inches by 3 inches. I cut my fabric 6.5″ wide and 9″ tall. This allows space for hemming the sides and making the fold on top for the drawstring.
