One of my new year's goals is to be a little more thrifty. I wouldn't say I am a big spender, but I hate when the month is over and my budget is blown and I am not sure where it went. So I have hit the thrift stores a couple of times and found great outside toys for the kids, joined Freecycle which I am not sure I will be using, and I got out my stack of coupons that I collect but never use. Dodd is very supportive of the coupons and teases me that it turns him on when I clip coupons. And he has no problem watching all the kids and letting me go on a long shopping trip to the grocery store, if there are coupons being used. Today was one of those days and I was very happy with the outcome. I matched my coupons up with the sales at the store using the coupon mom site (www.cutouthunger.com) to save the most. I spent $109 and saved $111! $34 was from the coupons and the other $77 was the store sales. I might have to keep this one up! Dodd will be so happy!

you KNOW you're gonna end up with more kids if you keep up this coupon cutting business that turns your husband on! i think it's so cool to see the savings you can get when you use coupons...i'm just too lazy and unorganized to do it very often!
I had never seen the Coupon Mom website before. That's great. I love going into a store and using coupons to get things for free.
You are a ninja couponer! I've only saved $10-$15 at the most, so it's hard to take the time to do it. I carry coupons around with me but I forget I have them and they expire. Good for you!
That's awesome Amy! It always feel good when you get a great deal or save lots of money. I'll have to check out that site.
I'm like Teresa, I bring coupons and forget to use them. That's funny about Dodd...it's amazing what can turn a man on. I've been taking the trash barrels out on the trash day and Ben thinks it Sexy...what??
Silly boys.
With the offer for old/unusable lingerie and turning Dodd on clipping coupons you could definitely end up with more kids, like Tammy said. Lol. I'll have to try your techniques so I can turn my husband on too! I'll see if taking out the trash works as well!
i made a very similar new year's goal and also checked out Coupon Mom after reading about it somewhere... however the only thing I figured out how to do on their website was sign up for a free sample of Total. Maybe I need a Coupon Mom mentor... wanna teach me how to use it when I give you your Visiting Teaching hairdo? (Sorry, but I will probably never stop making that joke.)
It's cool to see someone else that is using coupons too! I tell people that I've been doing that and they love to inform me it's a waste of time! I'll definately try out Coupon Mom, because I can only get so many coupons from the Sunday paper at the college library.
