AFter the holiday season, our local stores usually mark down a ton of holiday merchandise. This includes stuff like Hershey Kisses and candy bars in Christmas colored foils, baking supplies like decorator sprinkles and cookie mixes, staples for many holiday recipes like canned pumpkin, french fried onion pieces, and Stove Top stuffing.
DO NOT FORGET TO USE YOUR COUPONS ON THESE ITEMS!
When the items are 50-75% off, and you use a good coupon (which your store may double), you are often being PAID to get the items! I personally do not care what color the foil on the candy is, it is still GOOD!
So take a little extra time and scout out the deals. Our area Publix usually has the items like this on a turn around shelf display near the checkouts.Our Kroger stores pile things into buggies and put them up front in the health and beauty section or the natural foods section (which is very out of the way and takes some looking to find) but it is worth it to dig through and find some good sales. Who knows what you may be paid to take home!?!?!?

Just a reminder....
Be sure you check out the great blog www.southernsavers.com to get the most out of your money as you shop for your Thanksgiving dinner! This is my first stop when I make my grocery list. You can find weekly ads and specials for many different grocery stores, plus link to coupons for each sale item and many other goodies that will make your trip easier, faster, and much more economical! There is even a place at the bottom of each post to make a printable grocery list, with the coupon matchups! This is a huge help for me!
In today's coupon section of our newspaper, there is a coupon for $4 off a Butterball turkey when you buy 4 of any combination of Stove Top, Pillsbury cookie dough or pie crusts, and Heinz gravy. Check your stash for coupons for the cookies, stove top and pie crust and use these in conjunction with the $4 off the turkey to maximize your savings!
Happy shopping! Remember that you can have a great holiday feast on a little budget with some planning and wise shopping.

Coupons
The Savannah Morning News has a new section in it's Sunday paper. (Click here to view.) It is attached to the comics, and it is all about coupons and how to use them more effectively. There are some great tips found here, and although some of the ideas would TOTALLY not fit my way of doing things, they are helpful to many I am sure.
It annoys me though, that they are now offering multiple copies of the Sunday paper at a "reduced" rate. The idea if for people to be able to get more copies of the coupons. But with so many coupons readily available to print at home via www.coupons.com, www.smartsource.com, www.redplum.com, www.cellfire.com, etc, is it really worth the extra money every month? And what about the waste of the extra newspapers/ Are people recycling them? Five extra Sunday papers is a lot of waste!
What are your thoughts here? Do you get more than one paper? Do you use printable coupons?

Coupons in unexpected places
This week, our Sunday paper had three coupon inserts. I also found coupons in some unexpected places this week. Inside the USA Weekend insert, there are 3 coupons on the last page for Scott paper products. I purchased two packs of Scott Natural wipes last week, and found a coupon in the most interesting (and a bit annoying) place....tucked inside of the back of the package inside of a sealed little envelope that I had to cut along the sides of to retrieve the coupon. It was a good one though, 75 cents off of one pack of wipes. :)
Lastly, I have found that many companies are catching on to teh appeal and convenience of Facebook. You can go to www.facebook.com/nabiscocookies on the first Monday of every month to download a coupon for a FREE package of Nabisco cookies when you buy one package plus a gallon of milk. The applet will allow you to print two coupons per month. Since I shop twice a month, this gives a little treat at an affordable price! Last month, Publix had the Chips Ahoy BOGO, and I used my coupon, which gave me two packs of Nabisco cookies and a gallon of milk for under $5. This will be a great way to have a little something special to snack on when the kids are out of school this summer and ALWAYS hungry!
