I live in the Mason Co. Ky area and have used coupons for almost 25 years. Have 4 sons (all grown) and 5 grandkids now. Still couponing!

I use a binder for my coupons and love the looks I get from others as I'm flipping thru my pages. FREE is my favorite 4-letter word!

Hi! I'm Jill and I've lived in Florence, KY for about a year now. I love being 5 minutes from all the stores I shop. I started couponing 2 years ago as a kind of contest with my sister-in-law to see who could save the most money and quickly became addicted. I LOVE getting stuff for free and watching my totals going down to next to nothing. I am 28 and have been married to the love of my life for 8 1/2 years and I am a SAHM with two DD's ages 6 & 3. I also love to scrapbook, though I don't get to as much as I'd like.

Hi! My name is Michelle. I am from Brookville. Been married 18 years in June. Have a daughter and 2 sons. All teenagers. I am new to couponing. My head was spinning the first week trying to learn all these abbreviations. lol Niecey1996 took me to cvs the first time. I was soooooo confused. She has been so patient. I love this site and try to get on everyday. Hope someday to get a cart full at a rediculous price.

Hi all! I'm Jen and I shop at the Kroger in Dent. Occasionally, I also torture myself by venturing into the Meijer on Harrison, but I usually leave empty-handed from lack of stock or frustrated by the coupon police. I'm married and have 6 and 9 year old boys. I've been couponing since I was out of college, but have become much more dedicated in the last 6 or 8 months. I don't post a lot, usually by the time I spot a deal, someone else has already posted about it. But I really appreciate all of the time, effort and sharing of everyone on this site.

I am Brianne, 29, SAHM of 3 little girls. My husband is amazing, he loves that I save money, but also hates the constant shopping and stockpiling!!!

we live in Fairfield, I mainly hit the Krogers in Fairfield and Meijers hear lately( can not beat some of their deals). I started in August. I felt like I needed to either work or save and I saw information about extreme couponing on the tv and checked it out. I was doing very well and then after Christmas started planning my daughters school carnival and it was a huge task and I got a little behind with finding the deals. I am back on track and starting strong again. I still may find something to do from home, parties or customer service or something but I have really saved and mostly I am able just to get more than ever before. $100 before was maybe 3-4 bags of stuff, now $100 is 10+ bags!!

Our biggest expense is formula and diapers. We only have less than 2 months for formula so I will save alot more after that!!!

Mindy--with two very little ones at home my best advice is to take it slow--I just started in December and it can be just plain overwhelming! And mine aren't eating every 3 hours anymore! Well, not milk at least. =)
There is a lot to read, but I promise you if you just keep reading and absorbing, it will seem less like Greek and more like English before you know it. Although those of us with mommy brain may find it harder to keep everything straight. Not that I ever get confused. LOL!!

Hello! 5baylors here from Batavia (Eastgate area) burb of Cincinnati. I am 40 years old and have a 11 yr. daughter (yikes! preteen), 9 and 6 yr. son. This is our third year homeshcooling and I have been a stay at home mom since the birth of our daughter.

I started cutting coupons in February after I was tired of paying ridiculous prices for HBA (espcecially razors and feminime hygeine products). I have been an Aldi's shopper, but couldn't get everything I need there, so I picked up a few items from Korger.

I use different websites to compile a list of sale items from Kroger. It truly helps do all of the what's on sale and how to use the most of my coupons.

My goal is to save at least 50% each week. I have a lot of the same items stockpiled to donate to your food pantry. I am going to teach a class at church on now to use q's and really save money.

I love to find a bargin. I once bought 100 pairs of shoes for $100 at Payless. Friends say I may have to join C.A. (Coupons Anonymous).

I have my children cut q's and I file them in baseball card holders. I am thinking about giving my children some $ that I save when shopping since they help. I ofter hear, "Mom, we have a coupon, can we get it?".

TIP: Don't forget to take your own bags to Kroger and save $.03 per bag.

God bless you this Memorial Day weekend.
