If you haven’t done so, please check out www.southernsavers.com. You will see the link on the left hand side. Thanks to the fabulous work done by this woman, I am able to get great deals without any searching and time. I was doing all the couponing earlier, but I spent a ton of time and energy searching and traveling. So I gave up for a while. Well having dinner with an old friend, reignited my couponing thanks to her reminder of www.southernsavers.com.
I know use southern savers to buy at Publix and Winn Dixie only. I do not have it to go to CVS and Walgreens and Target to name a few. I am also not picking up every Sunday Paper . So I pick up a Sunday Paper here and there and I cruise southern savers before I go shopping. I love that she links the printable coupons and that you can build your shopping list directly from her sight.
So here are my deals:

Now I still have shopping at Wal-Mart and Sam’s, which are my typical shopping adventures for the week. The items I got above was just $50 on stocking up on some luxury goods for our home, minus the veggies. I typically do not buy ready to bake cookies or cheese cake. I do buy cake mixes when I can get a great deal on them. Now the coleslaw dressing is out of pure laziness. Being in my 7th month of pregnancy and having a birthday party this weekend, I do not have energy to spare. To take some of the burden I just bought the dressing. I know a cheapo like me probably has the ingredients to whip it together in less than 15 minutes, but I might not get that 15 minutes, so why chance it.
Talk about a party! I am going cheaply! I am making Pulled BBQ Turkey Sandwiches, Coleslaw, Baked Beans with Sweet Tea and Lemon Aid. Cupcakes and ice cream. The turkey just got finished cooking, in the morning I will pull it off the bone and shred it. Then I will put it in a crock pot with BBQ sauce the day of: total expenses $8.50 14# turkey (frozen since thanksgiving sale) and $4.67 Bulk Sonny’s BBQ Sauce from Sam’s, Buns about $4 from Sam’s. BBQ turkey equals $17 to feed 20-30 people this party and the same number in April for the next party, it freezes great. Next up, Coleslaw. The coleslaw is $3 for a huge bag at Sam’s and the $3.79 dressing and about $4 for #10 can of baked beans. Dinner’s total is $$28. I have everything to make the tea and lemon aid. I got a girlfriend that brings the cupcakes as the gift. The ice cream is on hand. Taa da! See why I don’t mind the splurge on the coleslaw dressing. I even picked up the plates at Wal-Mart for $0.75 a pack in the Valentine isle.
I shouldn’t gloat like this, it is just not pretty. eww, have you noticed that I am posting more regularly? Well, I just got a free Microsoft program loaded that is Windows Live Writer that allows me to compose my postings with all the tools like I am writing in Word and then post it directly to my blog. This makes it a whole lot easier to post tid bits of my world to you. Enjoy!
