I've been a member here for a year now, just haven't been posting on the boards. Couponing allows my family to stay on a budget, and I have fun finding the deals. I love CM and all the info I learn here!

Been really busy the last couple months with a house purchase and other stuff.

I live in Illinois and am married to my wonderful husband of 4.5 years. We just had a baby boy in August and also have a daughter who is 3.5. I've been couponing for about 2-3 years now. I love it. I can't believe how much money you can really save. Happy Couponing.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a 40 something stay at home Mom from North Carolina. I have an 11 yr. old and a 15 yr. old and yes, I am already coloring my hair to cover all that gray! I applaud all you Moms with more than 2 kids, I don't know how you do it.

I have been couponing for about a year and can not believe how much money I have saved. I only wish I had started earlier. My Mother told me and told me how much I could save, but I always thought it would be "too much trouble". But, it is actually FUN!! I love it! My husband laughs at me, at how I get into my trades and trying to find the best prices on groceries. It took some time to learn and I have to plan ahead but, our cabinets have never been so full!

Happy couponing,
vwdentley

Hope I'm not too late! I haven't had my computer for almost two weeks because it had a virus.

I'm an almost 31 year old SAHM to two little ones. Live in KY with my hard-workin' hubby. Been couponing since I found Coupon Mom back in January 2009. Couponing has really impacted my life!

I am a 36 yr. old SAHM. Met my DH 18 years ago, and have been inseparable since, married for 11 years. We have DD 8. Life couldn't be better!
I've been couponing now for just over a year, and absolutely love it!! It has become my newest hobby. I love reading posts, looking in ads, matching the sales with my q's, and planning my strategy, then having the HUGE reward of all the savings for my efforts! Talk about instant gratification!! I dabbled with q's for years thinking I was saving so much, until I found out how you can REALLY save, by holding onto those q's for the better sales. I had no idea what you could really do until I heard about the site and starting reading. Oh, the years wasted, and money I could have saved!!!

However, I'm on the right track now thanks to all of coupon experts!

Thank you Stephanie for this site!! And, thank you to all who have helped show me the light!

I've been a member here for a while now, just have not posted. I regularly visit and gain a lot of advice/strategy. I've always been a couponer, but have really gained a lot of good info here on how to match up the coupons to the deals. I've been saving so much on our household budget that I have been placing an extra $500.00 every month since April on our mortgage payment. Prayerfully we'll be mortgage free in 5 yrs. if I continue to be able to put the extra on it every month. My husaband is so Proud of how much I am saving, and how much I have/keep in stock. My son and daughter in law say they should just grocery shop in my cupboards & pantry.

I am glad to introduce myself. It's kind of lonesome around here today.
My name is Susie. I live in Kansas. I had surgery in February and am
still recovering so am mostly at home. I was happy to have your
posts to read - I had just turned the computer on.

Now that I'm not working, I am getting social security disability and
it's not what I was making - so the reason I came upon coupon mom
is I have been trying and mostly been able to live the way we had
been used to living even though my part of our income is less.
Plus it actually does give me something to do.

It's windy here today and the leaves are blowing everywhere. I
went for a walk and the wind kind of blew me along home, it was
so strong.

Well, I guess that's me. Susie

Born and raised in Hawaii and would love to travel...

I am looking for tips to shop and save at family owned grocery stores.
