When you are just getting started couponing it can be hard to figure out how to stock up with no extra money in the budget. I thought I would show you just how much you could buy for less than $15.
The following is an idea to help you reach the $50 purchase needed to use the in-ad coupon this week for $10 off a gas gift card. The in-ad coupon is only good Friday to Sunday, so that means if you want the gas promotion then this scenario will only work on Friday. I’ll work on another scenario for any weekend shoppers. I can imagine for some of you though, the gas gift card is not really in the budget either. So just use this as a way this week to save a ton off a number of regularly used items.
All of these deals I pulled using the Publix $1 or less list.

Did you know that every area and paper gets different coupons? This is one of the biggest things that can frustrate couponers… we all want the great coupon and only a few select areas got it. Each week volunteers send in their insert lists so to show exactly what came in your area. 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 this week’s coupon insert variations from 9/29. Click on your newspaper to see which coupons you actually received.
If you’re 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 folks send me the lists I will update this page.
A legend for the list:

I don’t know about you, but after a long day, a spa treatment sure does sound nice. They can be quite a treat and a great way to wind down and relax, but they can get pricey too.

These spa treatments can be a great early present too! Treatments could include therapeutic massages, facials, manicures & pedicures and more, so don’t miss out on this fun offer.
