Kroger (Cincinnati) ~ Other: Roll Call...New Let's Introduce ourselves

[5baylors]

My first month of stockpiling was very successful in the HBA dept. My husband was trying to be supportive, but was frustrated that I didn't have much food for his lunch. It's easy to get caught up in the deals and forget to buy lunch stuff. I also try to stock up on his favorite snacks.

Stockpiling tip: If you try it and don't like it, even if you open it, donate it to a homeless shelter. Our shelter in Clermont County is not picky.

Hello All, I have been on Hot Coupon World for awhile now, but we just moved to the Greater Cinci Area last week after living in TX! =) I am a SAHM of 5 children - 12 yr old daughter, 10 yr old son, 4 yr old daughter and 23 month old twin boys! My hubby and I have been married 14 1/2 years and he is an awesome man! I have always been a couponer, but now am a serious deal seeker, as my husband was laid off in January. The recession has really hit us pretty hard - going from a six figure income to living on unemployment. Unfortunately, past financial obligations depleted our savings prior to this unexpected turn of events, so there wasn't a huge nest egg in place, as there should have been. We have recently moved back to the area, to stay with family and seek employment. The only thing my brother asks is that we provide food and cook, and keep them well stocked up in essentials - toilet paper, paper towels, body wash, toothpaste etc - NO PROBLEM!!!! =) Looking forward to couponing with all of ya'll!

Welcome to the board!!!!

I grew up poor so I have been couponing since I was about 14. I am 29 now. I realized that if I wanted makeup and HBA I needed to get them with coupons and rebates.

So, my introduction to the deals seems to be a bit backward than most. I didn't realize there were sites that discussed deals and even showed ads ahead of time until about 2 years ago. I used to be one of the people waking up at dawn on Sunday morning to get my ads and match coupons to deals in my head on my own. Sometimes I couldn't even fall asleep the night before out of anticiapation of what may be on sale- especially when a new Walgreens rebate ad was due. Hearing the crazy voice on the radio advertising Kroger's SUPER DOUBLE COUPONS years ago was enough excitement to nearly drive myself off the road.

In a nutshell, I learned coupons/rebates out of necessity, and continue shopping that way because I choose to work in a field that does not necessarily pay well. This way of shopping allows me to have nice things and more than I would otherwise be able to afford. And, it is just plain fun!

I thought I would re-introduce myself for those that may have forgot who I was!

Im Amber, 26, married, mommy of 1, from Trenton. I shop at several different locations in Butler and Warren County. You never know you might run into me somewhere! If you recognize me stop and say hi! :)

Hi everyone. I have not been on in a while b/c we were so busy but used to be on here all the time (2007-2008). I am a married 14 years mother of 2: ds 6 and dd 10. I work as a teachers aide which allows me to be home when they are and to know what is going on at school. It gives me a SMALL income LOL but is better than having to pay childcare during the summer and not be with them. I had such a huge stockpile from before that I have not couponed much in 6 months or more and we still have a decent stockpile. I also loved giving my sister and brother garbage bags full of stuff to take home at christmas and gave all the teachers and aids/bus drivers etc.... gift bags full of hba/candles/etc... I wondered if it would be weird as they were dif. gifts but all the teachers loved them and those that did not get them were actually jealous and everyone was asking how I did that.

I live in Indiana, just out of Lawrenceburg. We love it here. THe stockpile was a real godsend when dh's work cut back hours and overtime and then began making them take an extra day off here and there. I am trying to get caught back up as far as my binder goes and with the ads that are posted so that I can get going. School sales are starting and that is a crazy savings time. I stock up for home and inlaws homes and goody bags for childrens gifts. You can never have enough 10c boxes of pencils, crayons and paper. :)

PS. I shop CVS, Wags (some) and Kroger and Meijer. I had been doing Meijer and Kroger Super Doubles long before I discovered this sight. I found this site through the Dave Ramsey Forums. We are big envelope users now and the budget is way awesome, slowly paying stuff off and looking forward to the day when we can shout We ARE DEBT FREE. Just not yet. LOL

Hi, I'm Theresa from Burlington, KY. I found this forum through a forum that follows Dave Ramsey, as well. I was a hard core couponer for awhile but then stopped as we have finally added a new little one to our family. I have a seven year old and a ten month old. Now that things have settled down a little, I'm ready to go back to being a hard core couponer again.
