Coupons?

Again with the coupon craze!  I know some people are getting tired of hearing about it, but I for one hope people learn through all of this its a way to save your family money pure and simple. 
Why does everyone think a person who uses coupons is greedy, a hoarder, a slacker, an extreme couponer?  Well because the show "Extreme Couponing"!  We are all not like that! I'm happy for you if you have a family 4 or more and don't have to use coupons.  I do use them and my husband has a pretty decent job, believe me I'm not bragging.  I am merely saying that we have a blended family of 7 total and times have been tough even with his blessing of a job. I wish I was smarter or wiser  when the kids were younger and used coupons then, I can imagine the college savings we could have had.  Its not about getting something for free when you don't need it, its about saving that money for the future.  I have to honestly say I just got back into using coupons and am just learning how to do it "right".   And yes I believe there is a right way to coupon, but hey opinions are like butts everyone has one!!!

Coupons?

We all use or have used them from time to time.  I have to be honest I quit using them for a few years, but with one daughter heading to college it seemed like money was getting tighter than before.  My oldest said mom you are obsessed with coupons, my response was you feed a family of 7 on 1 income.  She was quiet after that! I have to also say that the show "Extreme Couponing" was a great inspiration to me getting back into it.  Although my opinion of that show is its unrealistic to think you can save like the people on there did.  First of all the stores all have policies to against most of the practices the people on the show did.  And realistically who really goes out and has 5 to seven shopping carts loaded down with things that more than likely they don't use and won't ever use.  Even if its free or super cheap, if I'm not going to use it I don't need it.  Which also leads me to also say that this show has made stores change their policies and for those of us that do occasionally find that really good deal we can no longer take advantage of it like we used to. Ok off my soap box now!

I will occasionally post a great deal or coupon that I find or that has been shared with me because I believe that sharing leads to great deals for all!!
