Southern States $10.00 Coupon

Check your Loudoun County Times newspaper for an advertisement from Southern States with a coupon good for $10.00 off a $75.00 purchase! Southern States is a farmer owned cooperative with stores in Leesburg, Middleburg, and Purcellville.

You can also register for an account at their website here to print out a coupon good for $5.00 on your next $25.00 purchase.

Today my husband decided he needed a wheelbarrow, so I rode along to Southern States with him to make the purchase. The wheelbarrow he selected came to $69.99. I grabbed some plants for my garden - bell peppers for $1.99 and onions for $3.99, and added them to our bill.

That brought our total up to $75.97. After we used the coupon, we saved $5.00 on the price of the wheelbarrow and got the plants for free!

Growing our own produce is one of the ways I keep our grocery bill down. It doesn't require a lot of effort - just a spot for a box and the initial cost of the soil and plants or seeds - so I was thrilled to get some free starter plants!



My Super Bloom Shopping Trips!

Here is a photo of my son, Jake, with the deals that he helped me to "hunt down" on Saturday morning:

On our visit to the Bloom in Purcellville, VA for Super Doubles we spent $5.33 on noodle soup cups, a pack of hot dogs, a box of elbow noodles, a bag of sugar, 3 homemade bread kits, and a Hormel party tray from the deli. I'll be getting an $8.00 rebate on the party tray.

Next we visited the Bloom in Leesburg that is closing where we picked up ten 5-lb bags of sugar, two frozen pie crusts, a canister of dried mustard, and two big tubs of ice cream. The sugar was only $1.50 per bag, so I stocked up. Our total there came to $24.62.

Finally, we visited the other Bloom in Leesburg for a few more noodle cups, 2 lbs of bananas, and a roll of paper towels. My total receipt there came to 35 cents!

As Jake was loading the noodle cups into the cart for me, I asked how many were left on the shelf. He replied that he wanted to leave some for other shoppers, since clearing the shelf would be like "camping" in a video game. When I asked what he meant by that, he replied that it meant hiding in a corner with a gun and waiting for someone to walk into the room to shoot them. It isn't illegal, but it is sort of unethical and takes the fun out of the game.

Bloom will be holding ANOTHER Super Doubles event this Saturday, February 4, 2012!
