Going Nuts? I can help you understand coupon terms and abbreviations

Some of you may remember a post I did on this a couple years ago.  Well, I’ve decided take another look. I get asked a lot: “What about warehouse clubs?” I fight the urge to answer back with a quick “you aren’t saving anything”. Personally I haven’t found much that makes the cost of a […]

    I decided to try my hand at my own little extreme couponing video in Bi-Lo.  Really this is more educational than the TLC versions ever will be, as I tried to break down fuelperks, stacking coupons, doubling, special promotions and a lot more. If you don’t have a Bi-Lo there are still many concepts that […]

      This has been a fun and different year for couponing. Thanks to a new not-reality TV show, we saw new coupon policies from a number of stores. New Publix Coupon Policy New Bi-Lo Coupon Policy (the best changes we saw) Updated Harris Teeter coupon Policy (great changes) Official CVS Coupon Policy (first ever) Official Walgreens […]

A few personal notes/thoughts on newspaper coupons: Newspapers only guarantee inserts to subscribers.  Always check your newspaper for coupons before buying at grocery store or paper […]

            I firmly believe the best deals on diapers, paper goods and personal care items all come from drugstores.  There is no need to have a warehouse club membership if you know how to fully shop using the reward systems that each drugstore has. Of the three main drugstores, Walgreens is normally deemed the most confusing.  […]

              Now that season one of Extreme Couponing is over, I thought we would take a week and actually teach you the “real” way to coupon!  Most (if not all) of this has been covered over the years on Southern Savers, but it never hurts to have a refresher. Can you do what you saw on […]

                How to Reduce Time Spent Couponing Many people say couponing is not worth the money you save because it takes so much time. Using coupons can take a lot of time, but  it doesn’t have to.  The amount of time it takes is really up to you. Limit Deal Finding Time Your time is valuable, […]
