A Little About My Couponing

As I am sure you can tell from the title of my blog, I am a couponer. I have become absolutely obsessed with this money saving method. Due to my new found fun, I have gotten my mother into coupons hot and heavy again. I remember as a child that my mother would use coupons for food many times, but it was never in the manner I have learned today. Unfortunately, due to the area that I live in, I don't really get to use many coupons on food. The bulk of my couponing is on health and beauty products, cleaning products, air freshners, candles, etc. I have come to know the true sense of stockpiling. Buy when the price is low for later when the item isn't on sale. I have been lucky to be able to get a decent stockpile going. THis keeps me from have to run to the store at any given time to buy something at full price. I commonly mention my life slogan...."if it ain't free, I don't want it"! I know that is not exactly the most gramatically correct!! I hope to share my passion and knowledge with all that I can.

I do remember as a child, there were times when I would be embarrassed that my mom was using coupons. I have attempted to not put those ideas in our child's mind. L thinks it is the coolest thing that I use coupons and get so much for so little. We have turned it into a game. Anytime I shop, we have a game to guess how much I spent. I always spend way less than he guesses. So he gets really excited about the concept. To get something for free is the best thing in the world to a 7 year old.

I have only been doing coupons a little over a year. I started slowly but surely and continue to learn more and more. It all starts by buying the Sunday newspaper that has coupon inserts in it. This is the best source for your coupons.

More to come on the ins and outs of couponing.
