Enjoy the City has come up with another great deal on their coupon books for you!

From now until Tuesday, 5/8 you can buy 5 books for only $25 + free shipping using the code SAVERS.

These are coupons books with some of the best local and national offers.  The big reason for most of you to grab them though is that many areas in Florida and Alabama have (4) Winn Dixie coupons for $5 off any $30 purchase!!  Remember you can use that at Winn Dixie or Publix stores if accepted as a competitor in your area.  With 5 books that means you are getting a grocery savings of $100 just with those coupons!!

For the rest of us, the book also has hundreds of coupons to other local stores and pays for itself after redeeming only one or two.  You can take a look at the coupons in your local book by looking it up before you buy.  You can look through all of the pages before you commit to buying 5 books!  Your 5 books can also all be different cities, they don’t have to be the same!!

In my local book some of the coupons I like are:

B1G1 Monkey Joes entrance
$2 off Regal Cinemas Adult Ticket
$10 off $50 Dick’s Sporting Goods
B1G1 Bruster’s Ice Cream
and a lot more! 

Most of the coupons are good through 12/31 too, so browse your area and see if it’s something you would use.

Tip: Make sure to enter SAVERS on the first page of your cart to get the 75% off discount and free shipping.  After starting the checkout process you will not see the promotion code box again. (This got me and I had to go all the way back out to fix it…)

                in season produce
                Saving money on fresh produce can be a real challenge since there are rarely coupons or B1G1 sales.  One of the best ways to save money when buying fruit and vegetables is to buy what’s in season.  When there’s an abundance of a crop, prices go down and you save money.  You can also save more money buy buying local produce, it has traveled a shorter distance (less gas cost), spent more time in the ground growing, is fresher, and tastes better.

                Knowing what’s in season can be tricky, since we can usually find any type of produce year round.  There are some great resources though to help you figure out when a good time to buy certain items.  My favorite is a site run by the federal government that tracks farmers markets across the US.  I can’t say that the report is the easiest to read, but there are a few things it can quickly show you.

                First if produce that you want isn’t listed… it’s not at the farmers market right now.  Second it will show you whether the market is light, trending up, steady or decreasing.  The best prices for items will be when the market is steady or heavy, with higher prices seen as the market is slow.

                Another great resource is a government report issued every week analyzing thousands of grocery ads across the US.  (I wouldn’t want this job).   You can see not only what is being marketed nationally, you can see the average price of those items.

                If you want to go the easy way on finding out what’s in season, Publix offers a service called At Season’s Peak that will email or text you when your favorite produce is at its peak season — pretty cool!

                So after all that, how about if I just tell you…

                Remember that growing seasons do vary in different parts of the country but here’s what to expect in season and at its best price for May:
