I love making my own spice mixes instead of buying them at the store. Not only can I control the ingredients, but it’s so much cheaper! And if you plan ahead, you can make a bunch of it at one time and just keep it in the pantry.
The one spice mix I never buy is taco/fajita seasoning. I’ve been making my own for over 10 years, and it includes spices I always have in my pantry. I also like to quadruple (or more!) the recipe so that I can use it for anything that could use a little bit of spice. Here’s my recipe for homemade taco seasoning!
Homemade Taco Seasoning
Have you ever noticed that there are lower-salt versions of taco seasoning? One reason I love making my own is that I can control the salt. You can even lessen the amount of salt you add to this if you need to!
This seasoning uses common spices that are easily available. Most of the ones in this picture came from Aldi, where spices are usually only about $1 a bottle!
I use a teaspoon measure to make one “recipe” of this taco seasoning. You need one teaspoon of everything except for the chili powder—you’ll use 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of that.
Put them all in a bowl!
Saving money can’t get any easier than by using your phone and shopping with the Ibotta mobile app. With so many direct-linked stores, just load any offers you want and then head off to shop!
Savings Tip: My favorite way to load offers is in the store. Scan the barcode of products and the app will find any offers available.
If you’ve never used Ibotta and want to know more, head over and watch a short how to video I made.

Kid360 11/06 (in select papers)
Did you know that every area and paper gets different coupons in their inserts?
This is one of the biggest things that can frustrate couponers… we all want the great coupons but sometimes only a few select areas get them. Each week volunteers send in insert variation lists to show exactly what coupons were in their papers. I take these and put them into the coupon database. In turn you can then have shopping lists that only show the coupons in your area! Take a look at the coupon insert variations for 10/30, below.
Click on your newspaper to see which coupons you actually received.
If your paper is not covered and you’re interested in helping, feel free to email me at jenny@southernsavers.com for directions. I promise it’s easy!
As volunteers send me their lists I will continue to update this list.
A legend for the list:
Black = You got this coupon!
Red = Not in this insert
Blue = A change in value, or a new coupon not in the preview.
