I'm single so I only coupon part time. Love to snag those deals. I tell everyone I see or know about this site. I've received several hugs in the grocery isles for this. I love any kind of bargain or deal. Huge hunter! Recently found GW (Good Will) near my house in Irving Texas off Beltline road near Irving mall that every Sat and Sun 1/2 off all books! This was great since I've had to go to 6 baby showers. I think the entire concept of people staying at home has created more little ones! LOL So all the kids books are 25 cents, all paper backs 25 cents and hard backs $1.00 unless it's a kids book 25 cents. They also had lots of New Mommy books! Most of them have never even been cracked open! So I made gift baskets for the moms with baskets from GW and shrink cello and ribbon from Michael's. I put a few extras in like Binkie's, or a onsie and a cuddly toy. I told the Mom's the books came from a recycled book sale and were previously owned. They loved the save the planet green thing as well! I think two books said to Bobbie from Nanna. Man was I huge hit at these parties! I did not realize how expensive books are at say Barn's and Noble's? Many of the books still hat the price on the back for $9.00 and say $12.00 each. Each basket I gave was well worth retail over $100.00. Plus I'm encouraging education! I think the next basket I'll include some baby coupons and a link to this site!

Also 2 granddaughters (12 & 3). My 27d started me with the couponing. Born and raised in Michigan then moved to Montana. Work part time.

I've been visiting this site for a year, but recently registered, so I'm posting an intro. I've been couponing/refunding for 25 years. I have been with my husband for 23 years, and we have nine children, with our tenth due in late March. Couponing is a way of life for us, and with the internet, the deals are much easier to find, though the number of stores doubling has dwindled. Looking forward to "meeting" many of you

I am 38 year old mother of 2 great kids in Colorado. I have a 15 year old daughter and a 7 year old boy. I am the supervisor of our local hospital Respiratory Department. I love my job and how I get to help so many people. I ran on our local volunteer fire and ambulance service for a little over a year and loved it. I have since gone on leave for a few years because my kids were just needing more of my time right now.

I seriously started couponing only about 6 months ago and am now addicted. I couldn't imagine going to the store without my trusty coupon book organizer anymore

How much fun this is to be able to connect with others that are addicted like me
