If you haven’t heard of it yet, it was probably only a matter of time before you did. Paper Jamz is the maker of a new line of musical toys and, if I my say so myself, is about as close as my little ones will get to playing a real instrument without actually playing a real instrument :)
I was recently sent a line of Paper Jamz instruments to review and had an absolute blast doing so. We received a Paper Jamz Pro Series guitar, drum kit, and microphone (giving us a full band, of course). What makes these toys so great is their simplicity and high level of interactivity. Just by “strumming” the surface of the guitar or tapping the “drums” with your fingers, you will hear a full guitar chord or drum beat. At first glance, these instruments just look like flat, plastic, albeit very cool, toys. But once you start playing with them, you realize that there are tons of different ways to go about enjoying these instruments and lots of cool options!
By flipping a switch on the guitar, you can play chords or single notes, go freestyle or play along with a pre-recorded song, or wave it around to get vibrato. The sound quality is great (which is a must) and the guitar really delivers. The drum kit has a lot of similar options except you can also record yourself and put it on loop! Just spending some time to explore all the options is really fun.
The Paper Jamz’s Pro Microphone lives up to the quality of the instruments. It is very mobile and has a lot of great options including Auto Vibrato, Chorus (which multiplies your voice), Melody Match, Auto Harmony (creates a perfectly harmonized duo with your voice), and Perfect Pitch. Your tone-deaf friend will love that last one :)
It comes with 2 songs you can sing along with but, it also has a USB port so you can add songs from you own library!

I know many of you are chomping at the bit waiting for the next Harris Teeter big coupon event… well it’s official, starting August 10th (next Wednesday) Harris Teeter will run Super Doubles.
For any that are new, this means that any coupon $1.98 or less will double in value. Harris Teeter still follows their normal coupon policies and super doubles only 20 coupons per day, and also only accepts 3 like item coupons per transaction.
What to expect on Southern Savers:
I’ll do three lists of deals for you!
1. Friday afternoon – List of regular priced items that are great deals with high value coupons.
2. Monday afternoon – Harris Teeter sneak peek ad
3. Tuesday afternoon – List of unadvertised sale items
Tips to get ready:
- Use the coupon database and search for “$1.50” or “$1 off”. The database will show you all the high value coupons you have.
- Head to Harris Teeter this week and if they are out of any deals get a rain check. While you can’t get a rain check for super doubles (you can get one but nothing special will happen), you can use a rain check during Super Doubles and now you are the only person that wants those deals! Remember too… Harris Teeter rain checks never expire!! Get more info on how to get rain checks.

Right now there is an awesome deal on Tanga for a really fun magazine. Grab a year subscription to Garden & Gun Magazine for only $2.99 when you enter code GARDEN at checkout.
We got this magazine a few years ago as a gift, and love it! Since then we’ve given as a gift to a number of folks and will probably use this deal to continue those gift subscriptions!
You can get up to two years at this price.
(and in case you are wondering, no… there are no coupons in it)
Check out all the back to school deals and where to get them below.
