What happens when a Coupon Expert in one region of the USA moves to another area of the country? I have started over learning new stores, coupon policies and building a reasonable stock pile and savings routine from scratch since October 1, 2011. I was an expert in Atlanta and the South but now happily reside in Columbia, Missouri!

I've searched other blogs and sites but I can't find someone else in my shoes so hopefully reading how I started over can help you! Whether you are a seasoned couponer in a new area OR a beginner- I know I can help walk you through what to do and help you start saving big! Starting over has made me realize how newbies to coupons feel and made me walk a grocery store aisle or two in a beginner's shoes again! Email me at southerncouponbelle@gmail.com and let me know how I can help! Thanks for reading and taking this journey with me!

If it's too good to be true... Facebook Fan Pages

We had such a great time at first, become a Facebook Fan and get a coupon for free items. Now we have to deal with the scams and figure out what fan pages are good and which are bad.

First of all- If it's too good to be true- it probably is! Target is going to let you shop free this week? $200 Gift Certificate to the grocery store of your choice? Be wary of such generous offers. A BOGO coupon for Skittles is one thing but high amount gift certificates are another.

Read what you are signing up for. Especially when they want you to take a quiz and then text you the results. You could potentially be signing up for a text service that cost $9.99 a month!

I also get scared at steps like "Invite 35 friends to become fans." I'm so worried it could be a virus or something.

Just be careful and unfortunately, some people have seen the opportunities to take advantage of us on Facebook. Just proceed with caution.
