Southern Savers

Making the switch from a regular diet to a vegetarian one can be rewarding, frustrating, happy, slow, difficult, and the list of adjectives could go on and on, but you can make it easier on yourself with some planning and making sure you’re feeling both satisfied and well-balanced after a meal.

If you find it hard to get your protein in on your vegetarian diet, you really can do it as long as you know with what to fuel your body. Beans, quinoa, ricotta cheese, avocados, and peanut butter are all great sources of protein and you’ll find these ingredients in the recipes listed below. Plus, the good thing about vegetarian recipes is that you can usually easily adapt a regular recipe to be meat-free while still staying true to the dish and true to your taste buds.

Note: The prices listed are an average price based on what’s on sale this week, so you’ll have something to compare to your shopping list for your local grocery store.

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 01/08, 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.
