I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed your website. All my family has said this week is “did you get the recipe off of Southern Plate?” I have used a different recipe or two every day. And I would LOVE to try your brothers ATHENS based southern restaurant.

Hi Christy, Boy do you have alot planned for us and it sounds WONDERFUL. Right now we can all use ways to save money on groceries and still make wonderful meals for our families. I would just love to win the coupon organizer but unfortunately do not live near a Food Lion. Also your brothers resteraunt sounds great but I live in PA so that is out the window too. I make at least one of your recipes a day and my hubby just loves everything that I make from your cookbook and on line. Keep up the great work.
I am enjoying your site very much… I don’t get a lot of on line time, but I sure love spending time learning from all your wisdome.. Keep up the good work…
I am only 2 hours north of you…. and would love to see your brothers place…
Blessings,
Carolyn

I’m so excited about the upcoming posts. Count me in for the FL gift card and organizer. Thanks!!
Where do I find the best bbq joint in ATHENS?
Well shoot! We don’t have Food Lions in my part of the country. Oh well, good luck to the rest of you. Am looking forward to saving money on my grocery bill. I’ve just taken on my mom and my elderly sister. They were living together and now both need assistance. My mom is 91.
I love money and time saving ideas! I live in Athens & I have yet to try your brother’s BBQ. I sure would be nice to try it free.
I am loving all you help in making great meals for my family. I live close to Athens and would love a chance to win the giveaway! Keep up the good work.

I just love your site! I will be going through Athens tomorrow on my way to Florence to look around UNA with my daughter. I will be going through Athens a lot starting this fall and will have to stop by your brother’s restaurant. Yum Yum
This is really great! I coupon….wanna see my coupon binder? Wanna see my stockpile? If I can save in North Alabama, not too far from ATHENS, anyone can!! I’m so glad you are spreading the news!
I love your site.. I am looking forward to the next posts. Thanks so much.
Everyone wants to save money,especially in these times.
I know your going to be giving us some really good ideas.
Thanks for you time Christy, Blessing on you and your family.
What fun this week!
wow, a coupon organizer, i love to be organized. And money for groceries. What a great giveaway.
Sure would like the Food Lion coupon. It’s our store of choice in our area. Find the prices considerably lower than the other mkts. in our area.
I shop at Food Lion alot. Much better prices than the other stores in the area. I can’t wait to see what you have planned.
this would really help,great giveaway.thanks
My husband is from Alabama (the hollers as he calls it). We visit quite often and we have stopped by the Food Lions in that area often…especially when we go to Family get-togethers etc. A gift certificate would be a wonderful surprise. When we travel to see his folks sometimes we go over I-20 and sometimes we go over via Gadsden. I told hubby the next time we go over we need to swing by
Athens so we can check out Christy’s brother’s Hickory Barn BBQ…we so love BBQ. Thanks for all you do.
I am so anxious for all these save money tips. Can hardly contain myself. You are SUPER Christy. Alas, am not near a Food Lion or your brothers restaurant. lol But what a lovely duo of giveaways. Good luck all.
Christy I just L-O-V-E your site!!!! I accidently found it on al.com…(don’t you just love accidents?!?!?) I am loving your recipes and blogs so much. Kindred spirits are we. Look forward to learn how to save time and money these days. I would love to try some of your brothers BBQ in Athens. Glad to know that something besides Jamie Cooper (or his T.V.) is “Local and Loved”.
Keep the good stuff comin’!
I have been consistently saving 50% – 70% off my groceries each week since I was laid off in Nov 08 and have had more time to dedicate to couponing and being frugal. It has ALMOST saved me as much money as I was EARNING each week working!!! I have such a stockpile saved up and when my hubby was laid off as well in Feb we have really been able to save by only “shopping” from my pantry that i had saved! Now we have been able to get by on like $40 a week or less for a fam of four adults due to what i’ve saved!! I cant wait to see what else you have as far as ideas and tips for us to save even more. One of my best buys was last week I got 15 5oz packs of starkist tuna for only .34 a piece because of double coupons!!! it’s amazing how easy it is to save!!
blessings,
Sue
Looking forward to this week! I’m not near a Food LIon, but I would love the e-book! Thanks!
I think it’s great to have giveaway from a local Athens restaurant, especially since the restaurant belong to none other than your brother! I’d be glad to head to the other side of Athens for a barbeque plate and big ‘ol glass of sweet tea.
Can’t wait to see what this week brings!
This is great! I love the recipes on this site, and love saving money, too! Thanks for taking the time to put these together! I enjoy your site!
I have been looking for a coupon organizer. The envelope just isn’t working. They are also building a new Food Lion down from the road from us.
I love your website too!!!
but I like it better when you cook it for me!! Why don’t you throw your sister a few left overs. We really like your corn chowder.
I visit my grandparents in Athens about every other month- would love to be the recipient of the gc to Food Lion (can always travel back home to Memphis with non-refrigeratables (is that a word??)) or the restaurant GC.
Looking forward to upcoming posts- I spent $28.21 last night at Kroger on $73 worth of food- coupons and store promos combined ROCKS! A little planning goes a LONG way these days.
I could really use help with saving money on meals. I get in a rut and just cook the same thing over and over. I always cut out coupons but they seem to get lost in the bottom of my purse. Looking forward–even more than usual–to your blog in the coming weeks. Sheila
Great give away! I am just ten min. from a Food Lion store and that is where we do all our family’s shopping so I could sure use the gift card! Can’t wait to learn on how to save money shopping and using coupons. Thanks for another chance to win.
Cool Giveaway. I cant wait to read all the tips on saving money.
Wow!! I would love to win the gift certificate to Athens! My family lives that way.
oops…my e-mail is Crazylilrdhead@yahoo.com
I would love the Hickory Barn gift certificates. I pass it each day as I leave Athens in route to Rogersville for my day’s work.
I have eaten at your brother’s BBQ place and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for all your recipes….they are “great”.
I could really use that food lion gift card. Thanks for a great giveaway!
God bless,
Amanda
I have heard great things about the Hickory Barn BBQ in Athens, but have not tried it. Now that I know it is your brother’s restaurant, I know it has to be good. I’m going to make it to Athens one of these days just to give it a try. (Only about 15 miles, a comfortable, leisurely drive).
ATHENS!!! ATHENS!!!! Limestone county ya’ll!!!
we have a softball tournament there tomorrow!! Hope to be in ATHENS!!!! alot this summer.
thanks christy!!
Hey Christy I made your spghetti recipe thursday and am putting the soup on in crockpot for Sunday lunch…..I cant wait to try your brother’s place, Athens Alabama, the jewel of North Alabama….love it
I just googled the store locations for Food Lion stores and Glory Be! there are two right near my grandson’s apartment in Nashville, where he is attending college. Since I provide all of his groceries and meals (Mom and Dad pay tuition, rent, and utilities)the gift card would be a great help. I would love to win the coupon organizer for me and the card to buy groceries for him.
Thanks, Christy, for all your time and hard work in providing wonderful recipes and chances for great prizes!
Didn’t realize this is your brother’s restaurant!! I have been meaning to try it!! Thanks for making ATHENS more tasty!
