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!

Coupon 101: Don't become a Coupon Crazy!

The stores are buckling down on coupon use again! Publix has changed their policies on the penny items and how you can purchase. Two stores in my area now have the policy that you have to hit $10 AFTER coupons to get 1 penny item. The cashiers are also really checking the coupons and your number of items. I spoke with some friends in other areas and they are experiencing the same thing.

This is the result of people going overboard and ruining it for the rest of us. Clearing shelves, taking advantage of the penny item and being excessive. If you want to buy a lot of an item and you have the coupons- break the deals up and stay under the radar.

Just be wise so we can all enjoy the fun!
