If you are visiting Southern Savers for the first time after hearing about us this morning, then welcome!
I hope you’ll take a few minutes, and figure out just how easy it is to save a ton of money. Couponing is fun and easy, but also is something that we should all be doing today. Why pay full price when you can always get a deal??
To get started, head over to the learn to coupon section first. This will walk you through step by step the quick methods to be able to save 50-70% off all of your household and grocery purchases.
After that, there are tons of videos you can watch that will also help you learn tips and strategies to save even more!
Lastly, I know you are on a site that is “Southern”. If you don’t live in the south that’s okay we’ll still love you!! There are a number of stores I cover (Walmart, Target and the drugstores) that are actually national lists, whether you live in the South or live in Nebraska you can still use them. You can also use all the printable coupons we have and our coupon database to find coupons on anything you need!
Stick around long enough though and you might find that you love sweet tea and regularly use the word y’all.
Oh, and did I mention that all this is free?
(Thanks to everyone that sent a note that you saw it, you guys are awesome!!)
Here’s the clip if you want to see it again (around 2:15):
You just thought Oprah was gone… nope! Now she’s giving out free oral care products. Head over to her new site to see if you qualify for a Crest Complete Sampler Pack.
Heads up if you tell them you are Male, you won’t qualify. It’s also a good 5 minute survey so be ready to answer a few questions.
Update: Stephanie said on the Southern Savers Facebook page that these are B2G1, so get 3 for free with the 2 coupons!
While you are picking up your 99¢ Pepsi and the other weekly deals at CVS, grab two Free Hershey’s Air Delights with this printable coupon! (Remember to hit the back button for both coupons.)
Can they do a coupon for a free gym membership next?
If you are one of the first 500 to visit Tropical Smoothie Cafe on Friday June 17th with flip flops on you will receive a free smoothie!
This deal is in celebration of National Flip Flop Day! It’s really a big fundraiser that Tropical Smoothie does annually to raise money for Camp Sunshine. So while it’s free I encourage you to donate a little bit to help support an amazing place for kids and families dealing with life-threatening illness.
We have gone for the last 4 years to our local Tropical Smoothie and it’s a lot of fun!
What better way to celebrate dad on a hot summer day than with FREE TCBY Yogurt?!?

Three years ago today I posted the very first deal on Southern Savers. I started the site as a hobby and a way to share with 4 or 5 friends the deals I was finding at stores. I had no clue then what it would become (nor did my poor unsuspecting husband). It’s fun though seeing how many folks it helps and having gotten to meet so many of you at workshops and in the store!
To celebrate I have a number of things to giveaway that are BIG!!
To start off I have something for all the mom’s with young kids (or kids on the way):
(2) Phil & Ted’s Dash Strollers with the doubles kit and storm cover !! (reg. $698 each)
This is an amazing stroller that is perfect for one kid or add on the doubles kit and take two along with you! This is about as name brand as you can get in the stroller world so it is fun to be able to give two away.
To enter fill in your information in the box below. If you can’t see the box, email me (jenny@southernsavers.com) and I’ll try to figure out what’s up.
(If you are seeing this in an email or a reader, click over to Southern Savers to enter)
One part of running a deal blog is that sometimes when you sign up for deals I get referral credit. I try to use all of that for giveaways at workshops and on the site. These were all paid for using that credit.

I’m excited to announce that a dream long in the making is finally becoming a reality. This August I am co-hosting Becoming 2011, a “first of its kind” event, with Jenn from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam.
We’ve spent the past few months brainstorming and planning to create a weekend that is going to incredible!
The vision:
“Becoming 2011 is a weekend designed to encourage and inspire women to live intentionally by becoming more creative, purposeful, and frugal. Many of us desire to be more intentional with our time and financial resources; more intentional with our family and homes. As we gather from all walks of life, we will tackle some of those day to day issues that typically seem mundane. Our desire is that you will leave, not only refreshed, but encouraged, empowered, and motivated with the practical and tangible ideas you have received.
From personal finance, meal planning, entertaining on a budget, thrifting, home decor, trash to treasure, and more, Becoming 2011 will revolutionize the way we think, not just about our finances, but our homes. If it comes to saving money, re-purposing or creating, we want to cover it.”
I encourage you to go and check out what we have in store.
The details:
The conference is August 12-13th at the Ridgecrest Conference Center in Asheville, NC.
Registration opens this Monday, June 13, over on the Becoming 2011 site. I have a feeling, due to limited space and the awesome price (less than $100 including lodging and all meals), spots will go fast.
Make this a time away with friends and come join us in the Blue Ridge mountains for a time you’ll never forget!
