As a young girl, I often remember how my mom would clip coupons to help with our family’s food budget. She would often have my sister and I help her clip the coupons so that we could be involved as well. Then, when it was time to go to the store, she would give us a coupon and have us go search for the product! I think that it is fun to get your kids involved too!
Soon after my husband and I were married I started to follow in my mother’s footsteps.
I would clip a few coupons here and there, but once I saw just how much that the savings added up, I became addicted to couponing and bargain-hunting! Now that my husband and I have a little boy and another baby on the way, we are trying to watch our pennies even more!
Couponing and searching for the best bargains out there is very important to me and actually allows me to be a stay at home mom! Now, just like when I was a little girl, my son comes with me to the store and helps me find bargains!
Now that I have my own family, couponing has not only become a way for us to save money, but it is also a fun hobby! I love to share my coupon tips and bargain-hunting adventures with friends and family! It is fun to let others know just how much money you can save on any budget!
When I am not searching for those die-hard bargains or coupon-clipping, you will find me in the kitchen trying out new recipes or baking cookies with my little boy. I also love to decorate, drink coffee, go on dates with my husband, and watch chick-flicks when I have the time!
What about you? Do you have memories of couponing with your family that you would like to share? How did you become addicted to couponing and bargain-hunting? Did someone inspire you to save money? I would love to hear your story too!
