On June 3 2011 I Officially became unemployed and a stay at home mom again. Granted this is what I wanted but what I didn't want was to have to pinch pennys although I knew that I would have to sooner or later. So here I go Couponing to spend as little as possible on Food and other items . Next Saturday my friend Nikki is going to be holding a class on Couponing and I cant wait to learn more. I am a bargain shopper at heart anyways.
For as long as I can remember I have shopped off clearance racks and love to yard sale and shop at resale stores. So far what I have done is signed up on the Internet with 3 different coupon companies to receive coupons by email. Today I registered my Tom thumb card and Kroger's card. I can load my coupons onto my card and then swipe it at the store and it automatically uses up the coupons I have on it. I LOVE that because then I don't have to waste paper or printer ink. I'm also big into Reduce Reuse and Recycle. How did that happen? My parents sure didn't teach that to me. I also downloaded a Walgreen's app and a Kroger's app on my Android phone. Now my phone is something else I LOVE!! Who knew phones were used for more than just talking and texting..LOL!! So Ladies If you are NOT couponing then you are just throwing money down the drain!
Even if you are a working Mom you can still take 30 mins out of a few nights a week or even on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon you can devote sometime to updating your coupons electronically. Now Go buy a Sunday paper and let your kids ( only those with awesome cutting skills of course) cut out your coupons for you! Get on the Internet an Goggle free coupons. That will get you started. Good luck and Happy Couponing!!
