Hi! My name is Angie. I discovered couponmom in June of this year while browsing the internet and I'm so very thankful I did! It is so nice to know I won't have to purchase toothpaste, shampoo and many, many other things for a long time!

I am blissfully married to my DH of almost 13 years. I am 31 years old (yes that does mean we got married very young! LOL). We have 6 year old son and 3 year old son, and of course our first baby was our Yorkie, Hobbes, who is now 7 years old (and also a male!). I always wanted another girl in the house, but know if we tried again we would most definitely have another boy. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, because I would be so blessed, but 2 boys are a handful for me! LOL I work from home for a temp staffing agency as an after hours call center. I have been very fortunate that they have allowed me to work from wherever we lived over the years. My DH has a PhD in psychology and works for the government. We live in Nebraska, where we both grew up. We've always wanted to move somewhere warm, but haven't made that step yet. We hope to move to Texas someday to be close to my sister, who I've also converted to couponing!

Just realized I made this super-wordy but I don't want to take the time to edit this post. LOL

Hello to everyone,

Thought I should formally introduce myself seeing I never did. Live in Richton Park, IL(south of Chicago - very close to IN border).

I'm 31 have four children who are 12, 5, 4, & 2. DH and I have been together almost 7 years now. I've always been a bit of a coupon freak but I go through up and downs wherein I take it more seriously at times.

DH is a ultra nerdy IT guy and I am SAHM. I'm fairly easy going and I'm allergic to cats(I know you all wanted to know that. )

Ummm...yeah that is all I have for right now. Oh, for anyone wondering my SN is from my spade playing days and it has just stuck so no worries I'm here to get anyone or their coupons. Also my name is not Lucy its Sharisse.

So Hello one and all. Thanks for helping me find great deals. I appreciate it.

Hello All! My name is Jenn and I am admitted coupon addict!

I am 32 years old single mom (& loving it) full time worker out side of the home with extended hours, nothing like the extended play that comes on DVD's and will be going to school full time again in January on top of everything else! Yes I am nutz! (and very proud) I have a 11 year old daughter who makes fun of her mom couponing but gets punished by being the human calculator at the stores! I even make her add in the Shortcuts Esavers and the UPromises extras then the double coupons. Mean mom I know! She did thank me the other day for teaching her how to do this. Hopefully when she goes to college she can use I have taught her enough that she can have a 3 course meal instead of Mac and Cheese! I love meeting new people and love finding deals! Trust me... my daughter and I travel to Disney and Florida all the time and I don't spend much at all. I love reading the blogs on here and find awesome information. Thank all of the experienced ladies...for the knowledge that you pass on to the newbies! I will tell you I proudly carry my purple coupon binder everywhere I go. Saved the family a ton of money! I look forward to talk to more of you on here. Take care!

Jenn

Please remember our Troops this Holiday season and Everyday!

Couponers Stand Proud!

PS: For those that ask about my screen name; everything that I do seems to be a sin, IE Single mom, driving fast, working in a male dominated field, challenging life and facing Breast cancer at 28. I am proud of my sins! =)

Hey everyone. I'm Kristine, I grew up in Indiana on a small farm. Met Dh over the internet while at Purdue in 93. Only agreed to meet him because he had a motorcycle, but once we met, I knew early on that he was the guy I was going to marry. He was a strong Christian man and we married in July of 95. We have three great kids, all of whom where preemies and spent a week in NICU. But you'd never know that today. We homeschool and love it. They are great kids and like to help me shop. I couponed for a while, but last summer we moved and got out of the habit. A friend of mine encouraged me to start it up again and get a binder going. So I did, was hooked, met Indianamom and it's been great learning about some of the local deals from her and swapping coupons. I found out about CM from Oprah also and have been here just over a month. I'm chatty, but not as Chatty as SOCAL.

Hi y'all.

I'm Kelly. I have been using the CM system for about 4 months and I am completely hooked. I am 32 (ugh!) and married with 4 kids. Step-D is 15, twins D's are 3 and Baby S is 15 months. It took me a long time to have my babies and I am grateful for them though they DRIVE ME NUTS!!!

I am from South GA but we recently moved "back" here because of my DH's job. We moved from Columbia, SC 1.5 years ago. I am currently a SAHM. When I was working in SC, I built databases and analyzed data. I'm nerdy like that. Tracking my savings is as fun as actually getting my savings!

We don't do anything special with the money I have saved except maybe cover ALL the bills each month (that is a BIG maybe). We are also trying, albeit VERY slowly, to get out of debt.

I want to thank Stephanie and everyone here for the wisdom. It makes me sick how much money I have been wasting all these years, (especially when the twins were babies, think of what I could have saved on diapers alone!!).

God bless you all.

Hello Everyone,
I'm Natalie. I'm 24 and live in Jersey with my wonderful boyfriend.
I wear a uniform to work, so had to kick my clothes shopping addiction. Since we recently moved into an apartment I have been addicted to shopping for the place instead... but all I can afford is groceries... LOL.
So here I am... bargain shopping for groceries.
I am fairly new and look forward to learning all the wonderful tricks you ladies have to share.

Hello there. My name is Lisa,from Massachusetts. I am 32, married for 7 1/2 years with a 2 year old daughter and boy on the way ( maybe he will be the 1st boy of 2009 for couponmom..lol)

My Story:

Met my husband at Dunkin Donuts back in 1996 had a cup of coffee together and have never been apart since.
We have 2 cats--Alley and Austin both 6 1/2 years old ( they are sisters )
We had our 1st in 2006---2 months early born 3 lbs 6oz ( LITSA cannot image a 1 pounder I thought ours was tiny) The whole experience was scary and she was so tiny, but today you would never know. I am only weekly shots to prevent this one to be early
I was in the mortgage industry for 12 years and got laid off in Aug 2007. My DH & I decided to stay home with our D as it is alot cheaper than daycare and I had to go back to work only after her being home for 3 weeks ( she was in the hospital for over a month ). Love being with her but really miss working and being with ADULTS. 2 year talk only goes so far..lol so thanks to you all for keeping me sane.

I go insane with rebating, hey it is free, my DH says I need my own room in the next house. I have ebayed alot, yardsale alot at huge discounts ( people come back every time for my table specifically ) but I mostly donate it to families that need it. My DH is a firefighter and we have had some bad luck ( Danvers explosion made national news, Peabody complex that burnt to the ground) To see peoples faces when I show up with my sleigh of stuff is priceless

And if any of you miss the snow or have never seen it before in person, I will be happy to ship you some...lol

Hello everyone.

I am a new couponer from PA. My name is Heather and I am 33 years young. I live with my dh and 2 wonderful boys (5 and almost 2). I am a stay at home mom so we are living on one income so any amount of money I can save is great! I would like to thank everyone in advance for all of their great advice and information. I am sooooo glad that my sister told me to watch the Oprah show that day!

Please keep that information coming-it is very handy to a newbie like me!!!
