Savings with Style!

Start Saving with Style with Southern Coupon Belle! I'm now COUPONING IN CoMo!
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!

Lots of major retailers like Barnes and Noble, Bath and Body Works, Gap, Kirklands and more. The app will identify your location and then show you the coupons available for your area.

Source 101: Have you discovered Groupon yet?

Groupon is the hot thing on the web right now and we've already used the website to get a great discount during our recent trip to Chicago.

Groupon will notify you of a huge discount for a restaurant, an attraction or services in your area that you can purchase. If enough people purchase the discounted deal then the deal will be activated.

My sister snagged 10 visits to the Chicago Children's Museum for $40 when the normal rate is $10.00 a person. She got all of us in for $4 each, the girls had a wonderful time and she still has 5 more visits to take advantage of.

Not all areas are represented but check it out. www.groupon.com
Or go through the link at the bottom of my blog.

There is also an application for your IPhone to see the discounts directly from your phone, Touch or Pad.

HOT TIP! Skin Care line at Aldi's

I just bought some of the products today so I'll do a product review soon but wanted to share what appears to be a well kept secret at your local Aldi's grocery store.

They have a skin care line called Lacura that's made in Germany and suppose to be wonderful. The best benefit?? It's very inexpensive. They actually have a makeup line as well so I did try a compact powder today and I'm pleased with the quality. Price? Under $3.00!! Everything was under $6. The packaging is great and the product itself seems to be definitely worth a try for the price.

I got a Day Cream, a Hydrating Cream (both were under $5.00), a peel treatment, a toner and a mask plus the powder compact. I'll let you know what I think!

Free Boneless Wings at Buffalo Wild Wings
