With my dh suggestion, I have decided to start a blog.
If you coupon to the extreme, like I do.
You can understand the rush you get when you bring home a trunk full
of items from the grocery store for less then $50.

If you don't coupon at all, I hope you continue to read my blog,
and learn how you can save your family money too.

A little bit about me and my family.
I am 25, married to a wonderful man since 2004.
I started couponing in the fall of 2006.
Soon after starting I got my dh on board with me.
As he was just as excited about the savings as I was.

I became what I call an extreme couponer in the fall of
2007. I realized instead of just getting 10 of something
I could get 20 or 50 or more of something.
An be able to share with family, friends, donate it or resell it
at a low cost to people that don't coupon.

I was able to give 2 Laundry baskets & 2 18gal rubbermaid
totes OVERFLOWING with food and household items
to friends in need this past Christmas.
All the items had been free or REAL cheap after coupons.
We couldn't afford expensive holiday gifts, so had decided to
do that instead. I think it was the best gift we could have given.
Of course everyone thought we had spent WAY more then we really had.
Normally all those items would have cost $200+ each x 4 = $800 in the store at normal prices.
But we didn't spend over $50 for all 4 Gift baskets!

We plan on doing it again this year for differant people.
An plan on giving out 6 baskets instead of 4.
We have already set items aside for the baskets when
we find a good deal. Now I just have to decide who is getting the baskets!?

I plan on going shopping later tonight at our local grocery store, Kuhn's
and Walmart. Also might hit CVS for some clearanced makeup if I have time.
