About ladywithcoupons

Hello. My name is Jackie and I am a mother of three daughters and a Nanna to one sweet granddaughter. Two of my daughters have fledged and the last one will be leaving the nest in the next few years. I am soon to be divorced and completely on my own when it comes to paying the bills. Over the past few years, it has become increasingly difficult to manage the finances in a way to leave an adequate amount behind for paying for groceries, gas, small luxuries and, dare I mention, vacations and entertainment...lol. I have to admit I started watching "Extreme Couponing" on TV after catching a glimpse of it while at work. It amazed me that people were able to get such large stashes of groceries for such a small amount out of pocket (OOP). How did they do this? Where were they getting the coupons? How did they get so many coupons? And most importantly, how could I do this? This is how I found many blogs to help me get started. I started researching all the ins and outs of couponing in October 2011 and really dove in after the holidays were over. In the past couple months, I have discovered many deals and started a "stash" of my own. I am fairly new to this, but I find it fun and rewarding to bring home my treasures each week. The best part of it is being able to share my good fortune with my kids and friends. And now, I hope to share my finds each week and get feedback from others. Together, we can go "Shopping with Coupons"!
