Southern Savers – Southern Deals and Frugal Steals

southern savers

My church, New Spring, has an awesome member that is our Pastor of Financial Planning. Joe Sangl offers classes, books, financial advice and counseling. He recently held a Southern Savers Couponing Class that sold out and helped attendees to save tons of money on groceries, find freebies and other things. Southern Savers offers Extreme Couponing 101 workshops to guide those who are overwhelmed. The course teaches you how to gather and organize coupons, use online resources and how to actually use the coupons.

The website is overloaded with information that a stay-at-home mom has put together. She got hooked on saving money at local stores and wanted to share it with others. One of the main sections of the site is a list of nationwide and southern stores and their weekly sales. The stores include CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Publix, Bi-Lo, Ingles, Kroger, Food Lion and Harris Teeter.

Printable coupons are also available. The site features SmartSource Coupons and all you have to do is scroll through the items, select it and print. You can’t get much easier than that! Not only can you find coupons on Southern Savers, but also freebies. Scroll down a list of companies, click and you’re on your way to free stuff. This week you can get samples of Enfamil for babies, free samples of Remedy Life magazine and even a free workshop Thurs. Sept. 24 for women at The Home Depot.

Click on “Deals By Store” and you’re on your way to taking a peek at stores such as Wal-Mart, office supply stores, Target, Amazon and others. Another feature of the site is a regular blog that updates you on any other deals that have caught the eyes of the stay-at-home mom. This week she features a Special K savings booklet at Publix and the availability of a free Downy Wrinkle Releaser. Submit a photo of something wrinkled and get a coupon for a free bottle.

It may take a little bit of time to log on and cruise the site for deals, but in the long run saving a bit of money on groceries and other items can really help.
