Southern Savers Website

1. Sales Cycles and Stocking Up

Most people make a list of the groceries they need and head to the store. What you have just done is make a list of everything that is not on sale at the store. We need to step back and realize that groceries go on sale. They all have a "rock bottom low price", and we want to focus on only buying groceries when they are at that rock bottom price. Don't worry it's pretty easy, in most areas they follow a cycle roughly 6 weeks long. That means if we see a rock bottom price this week then buy enough of that item to last 6 weeks. That way you don't have to go back and pay the full retail price in between.

2. Add On The Coupons

If you buy when the items is at its lowest price AND use coupons, you save a bundle! Here's how it works:

3. Getting Organized

The easiest method to getting the best deals is to have a library of inserts saved up. That way, if an item goes on sale four weeks after the insert is delivered, you'll still have the coupon

s (and you only clip the ones you actually need!).

Best Option: Accordion File Method

Not as pretty as the binder method, but very time efficient! Just make sure you date your inserts before ?ling them.

On Southern Savers we will tell you next to every coupon the exact insert to go and find it in. You sit down and cut just the coupons you need for this weeks sale and never waste time cutting coupons you won't use!

Organizing Other Coupons

You'll always end up with cut coupons you didn't use or coupons you found in the store, Organize these in whatever fashion fits your life best. Small accordion files, envelopes, or a binder are all good options. Most of the time, we know about these coupons, too, and will reference them in the shopping list for your convenience.

4. Now Put it All Together!
