Coupon Craze :)

Because of this crazy economy and the uncertainty of so many jobs out there (ours are safe so far!) I have decided to become frugal mama and save as much money as possible by couponing. I've never been a big couponer... mostly due to laziness and uninterest, but this stuff is addictive! I'm hooked! :) All it took was saving $60 at the grocery a few weeks ago and now I can't stop! I rarely buy something without a coupon ... there are so many out there and if you know where to dig you can find some juicy deals! :) If we go out to eat somewhere I'm always like, "wait, I might have a coupon for that place!" and I excitedly go digging through my accordian coupon file in search of a great deal! Hehe. I will try to pass along as many deals as I can ... especially for all you moms out there buying formula and diapers! If you like Huggies diapers there's a $5 off coupon at coupons.com that you can print up to two times. Take today for example, I sent Eric to the store for diapers & formula for Ava. I had $1.50, $1.00, and $0.50 off coupons for Pampers diapers ... $5 and $2 off Similac formula ... and a $5 off a $50 dollar purchase at Target... voila -- $15.00 worth of savings!! It takes some organization, but its worth it! :) Let's hope Eric remembered to use the coupons. :)
