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.

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.
Office Max has a 5 pk. of Sharpie Accent Highlighters are on sale this week for $2.99. To sweeten this deal, there is also a printable coupon that makes them totally FREE in-store!
To find the coupon:
- Go to the Office Max Weekly Ad
- Scroll down and click on the button that says “Extra Savings”
- A window will pop up asking you to register with your email address and zip code
- Type your information and click “Enter” and you will gain access to several Office Max’s Coupons.
Remember, it’s never too early to shop for school supplies!

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!
A lot has happened this week, so I wanted to put everything in one place for you all to see. Enjoy!
