They also have Staples brand Photo Paper 50 packs, for $1 after easy rebate.
Mambo Sprouts, a company and website that helps organize savings and coupons for organic products, is having a great contest right now.
They are looking for tasty original recipes featuring natural and organic products. The first place winners in each category will receive gift cards and an assortment of natural and organic products valued at approximately $600. One grand-prize winner will take home $2,500 cash plus products and prizes with a total package value of approximately $4,000!
The contest ends on June 15th and you can enter online .
Mambo Sprouts, isn’t just known for recipes and articles on organic living though… they are known for coupons!! They have great booklets out three to four times a year with coupons out that can rarely be found elsewhere.
The Giveaway
They have given me 50 booklets of coupons to share with you! Since that is a little much for me to send one booklet to 50 different people, I’ve decided that 25 of you will each get 2 booklets.
To enter for a chance at these booklets leave a comment below sharing what your favorite natural or organic product is.
- You can also get a second entry by twittering or blogging about this giveaway. Leave a second comment below if you do that.
I will select winners Sunday night.
I have been trying to brainstorm how to make coupon insert differences less frustrating. It is a tough dilemma. Coupon inserts vary from newspaper to newspaper. They don’t just vary in coupons offered but also in the value of the coupons.
If this is new to you, then realize that you need to be purchasing the largest newspaper that you have access to. If you live outside of Atlanta and have been getting a little local paper, you want to switch to grabbing the AJC. If you are in Charleston, you want to buy the paper out of Columbia etc.
To help us, I would like to get a volunteer or two from each major paper to take the list that I post every week and alter it for your area. You would make the list on Sunday or Monday after you get your inserts. I will load them and keep a running database of lists for us. This will eventually turn into something bigger and better but we will start small. Because I can’t keep up with all the tiny papers in the Southeast we will keep lists of the major papers. I’m listing the ones I can think of and if you feel another should be added to the list email me.
This is an example to help you understand:
If you are up for being the list maker for your paper email me ( jenny @ southernsavers . com). I will update this list as the job is taken. If I don’t email back just know that someone has your paper covered!

This is a new company for eCoupons! Through the month of June go here and load some great eCoupons that go with what is on sale at Kroger. You will need your Kroger card number to get started. These work the same as other e coupons you use and come off at the register when you buy the right item. All e coupons can be used with a regular paper coupon.
I have updated the Kroger weekly deals with these coupons. There are also new Cellfire eCoupons and Upromise e coupons too, I’m working on typing those…
Update: Try this link if it doesn’t work right or go here and find the link off of Kroger’s main page (bottom left). Also this poor site wasn’t ready for the traffic it would have so be patient. To see all the coupons offered make sure you scroll down!
There are a ton of coupons offered so here are the highlights.
$1 off Tyson Strips
.50/1 Sobe LifeWater
.50/1 AMP drinks
$1 off Aquafina 24pk 16oz bottles
$1/2 bags of Doritos
.60/1 Frito Lay Dip
$2/2 Gatorade 8pk 20oz bottles
$1/2 Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers, just for one’s, or other bagged veges
This is the highlights of the three drugstores for the week of 5/31-6/06. Only deals $1 or less will be listed though there are still other great deals. We have to limit the list somewhere.
To see the coupons or rewards that make these free click on the store name to go to this week’s full post. If you see anything I missed let me know and we’ll update the list.

I am loving this batch of new coupons. Not only are some of the kraft coupons left and their print limits have been reset but General Mills has heard our cry and most of the coupons they released are values that will double!!!
.40/1 Go-Gurt (B1G1 at Publix right now)
.50/1 Betty Crocker Warm Delights
.50/1 Chex Mix (will make it FREE on sale)
.50/1 Betty Crocker Frosting (another freebie)
$1 off Keebler Sandies cookies
Smart Source has many of the same coupons! So get 2 from each coupon distributor (hit your back button to print a second set)
Remember: Prints for some of these General Mills items will not last through tommorow. These are good all month and are wonderful doubling coupons so we will have no problems finding deals to use them with. If you wait to print when these are on sale, then I am afraid all you will see is “printable – print limit reached”.
Currently there are no new coupons at Red Plum, but I’ll keep you posted.
There are a few questions I get A LOT, and one of them is: “How do you save on Produce, Meat and Dairy that doesn’t have coupons?”
* Remember that these items still go on sale so you can still save on them without the coupon. If you would like to save more though…
My first answer is: “I always buy my tweezers!” Meaning I always buy the items on the list that are free and make overage. Tweezers are one of those items that show up recurrently on my favorite grocery store list. Those items are really money off other things in your buggy.
My second answer is: “Don’t always look to buy it at the grocery store.”
The Farmer’s Market
Since we are only going to save by buying produce that is in season (and thus on sale), why not go directly to the grower? If you are near a medium to large farmers market you can get some great prices. We just headed to ours today.
What we got (price in parenthesis is the sale price at a grocery store):
32lbs of Squash at .37/lb (.99/lb)
21lbs of Zucchini at .57 /lb (.99/lb)
8lbs of Strawberries at $1.12/lb ($1.66 lb)
25 lbs of Peaches at .25/lb (.99/lb)
100 ears of Silver Queen Corn .14 cents ea or $7 per bushel (.25 ea)
Go and print any printable coupons that you want from Smart Source, Coupons.com and Red Plum on or before Sunday. They will load a new batch of coupons on Monday, so tune in for a list of the best ones that came out!!
Other Coupons to grab::
- $3 off any 3 Johnson and Johnson items printable (IE) or printable (FF)
(will make small safety kits free at many stores!)
Remember you always want to print a coupon you might use when you see it. If you plan to come back later it might not (probably won’t) be there.
If you are heading out to window shop this weekend take a few coupons. Maybe you can find a good father’s day present… (or a present for yourself).
