In 2009, my beautiful baby boy was born. We were unemployed because of the economy and needed to find a way to make ends meet. Please don't add negative comments, such as how we should have been out there applying. We applied at as many as 60 places a week, and yes, that is possible. I saw a segment about couponing on tv and googled it. That was the day I became 100% involved in the growing coupon community. I started off really slow and was eventually able to purchase nearly all of my Christmas presents for free or nearly free that year! Over the course of two years, I have become much more knowledged and as you guys have seen in my facebook pictures, I have been able to purchase almost all of my Christmas/birthday/holiday gifts to my entire family for free or cheap as of January/February 2011! Not only that, but I'm beginning to make money through couponing and other money saving advances I've learned! I have a complete stock of diapers and wipes saved up for my son (about 6-7 boxes of diapers and 20 tubs of wipes) and we literally shave at least $20 off our grocery bill each week. Stay tuned and I'll share my secrets to successful saving!
