I'm addicted to coupon shopping! I can't believe how much I have saved and I have been doing this just for two months now. Why didn't I do this before? I saw a couple of friends sharing their stories on how much they saved by using coupons so I thought I would give it a try. Its worked out great and I wish I would have started this a long time ago! I wanted to see if I could make up for my loss of pay since I no longer type. I have worked from my home for 6 1/2 years as a transcriptionist but after having Charley we felt that I wouldn't have enough time. If I wanted to continue typing I would need to take Charley to daycare while the other two were in school and that just didn't make sense to me - work from home but your kid is at daycare - no thanks! I told Chad that maybe I could make up the money through coupons. Not only have I made up for my loss but my house has more supplies than ever before! Just today I bought 3 things of mens bathsoap for $2! Before couponing I would have went to the store for 1 thing of bathsoap and probably would have spent $3-4. I told myself I wasn't going to go crazy but I think I'm going to need a shelf system in the basement to store all my supplies! I haven't shared that with Chad yet - I'm already driving him crazy with all the coupon talk!
Lastly, I really thought baby #4 would be out of the question with everything costing so much now days - maybe I found a solution to that problem!
Way to go Jamie!! It's fun...isn't it! I'm taking a little time off b/c I would loose my mind if I tried to coupon...but I will be back on the horse soon. Are you using Walgreen's program? I don't do Walgreens b/c I do CVS...but I know it's about the same. Another way to save....cloth diapers :)
