I've always been into freebies, but I've recently expanded my cheapskate-ness to include a liberal use of coupons. Why? When we got pregant with our second child, I decided to see if there was a way to fit two kids into our budget for the price of one. I decided to give this couponing thing a trial period of two months; if it worked we'd keep doing it, if not, we'd quit. Did it work? Just ask my husband- our savings in the 2 month trial period freed up enough money to buy a new BBQ grill ( a nice one.) Why did he get to go play with my hard earned savings, you ask? Hmm. Because I'm a sucker for his big brown eyes and he knows it!
Baby number 2 has since been born and I can honestly say that we're still doing better financially than we were with just one kiddo. Isn't he cute?! And the kid is pretty adorable, too ;)
At any rate, one if my coupon buddies once told me that I made couponing easy for her- "I just stalk your facebook page!" Which gave me the idea to consolidate my better finds in one place...because I am just that sweet.
We are a military family, so I'll be including Commissary deals, but I shop around to get the best deals, so there will be plenty of civilain-friendly stuff, too! Happy deal hunting!
