I'm married with three beautiful daughters. Our oldest is almost 21, married and active duty Air force. Our younger DD's are 10 and 7. My DH and I both are fortunate enough to work full time and have to thank our wonderful mothers for their support in helping with our children while we work. We enjoy camping and have a vintage (1970) Airstream travel trailer that we are restoring (I'll save those adventures for another site/blog). My DH loves old tractors and we try to go to a couple antique tractor shows every year. And I had my first real garden last summer and hope to expand it this year! We love animals and currently have three dogs (basset hound, blue tick coon hound and otterhound mix) and four cats in our home. I would love to get a couple goats and some chickens but I don't think our neighbors would go for that. :sad: My adventures in couponing began a couple years back with the free Duracell battery deal at CVS. I read about the deal on a local website and was quickly hooked. We recently inherited an upright freezer so I'm actively trying to fill it, although the ice cream seems to mysteriously disappear almost instantly! Must be a black hole or time portal on that shelf since hubby and the DD's claim they know nothing of this! I regularly shop at Kroger, Meijer, Biggs, CVS and Walgreens. I was loving the $5 Purina One coupon deal at Meijer but sadly, it expired 12/31/09. I tend to lurk but one of my 2010 resolutions is to post more and share deals I find along the way. Thank you everyone at HCW for all the wonderful deals!

i shop in that area all the time :)

Hi! My name is Jill and I live in Burlington KY. We've been in Northern KY for 2 years now and I've been couponing for about 3 years now. I'm a 29 year old stay at home to 2 DD's (7 & 4) and baby #3 on the way in June (we'll find out Monday what this one is). I've been married to my high school sweetheart for going on 10 years in November. I started into couponing because my sister-in-law saw a segment on tv about how much you could save, and she got me interested, then it became a competition to see who could save the most. Needless to say, I was quickly hooked. My husband loves that I have a hobby that actually saves us money (much the opposite of my scrapbooking).

Congratulations! Let us know what the baby is! I totally know what you mean about scrapbooking- my aunt is wonderful at it (she is SO crafty!) but it really adds up!

Hi, I'm Jaime. I have been couponing for about two years, and gaining in intensity since I left my job 7months ago to be a full-time momma. I have a wonderful DH (been married 4.5 years) who will sit and listen to all my "scores" even though I know it bores him to death, but he likes the $$ I have been able to save.

I have two kiddos, two boys, 3 and 8wks who are the reason I coupon- so I can stay home and watch them grow up.

I stay at Kroger's (Lebanon) usually, haven't really gotten into wags or cvs and the closest meijers is in middletown.

So if you see a lady with two kiddos with her head buried in a blue binder-- its ME!! I usually make 2-3 trips a week to check prices, let my son get outta the house (hey if you go at the right time, you don't have to eat lunch, gotta LOVE free samples), etc.

Welcome Jamie! I've got two boys too--aged 4 and 2.5! Good times!

Hi I live in Hillsboro, Oh. I have always used some coupons but started using coupons intensely after seeing a news segment on a person from Northern Ky in August 2008. I have 1 ds who is 12 years old. He has been in treatment for a serious medical condition. He takes a lot of prescription and OTC meds, so I have to save money wherever possible. My dh likes it when I get razors for free or cheap, and realized that he didn't need to buy expensive cartridges.
It is an addicting hobby. I shop CVS, Wags, KMart (some-missing those double coupon days but I think they are just a memory now) and Kroger.

Live in Naples, FL now, but will be moving back to West Alexandria, OH in a week due to family in Ohio. Plus our little on does not know his family in Ohio, which is where most of our family is.

Will be shopping Krogers, Meijers, Walgreens and CVS. Will really miss Publix here in Naples.

I trade the FOREX (Foreign Exhange) market, build websites and software...so my work is online and can go anywhere. Started couponing, cause it's pretty boring trading...you just sit around and watch things....could take hours. Plus I built software to trade for me, so I had a ton of FREE time.

Last month I purchased over $1,800 worth of products for just over $411. Was very happy with that. Not sure of the deals I will get out of Krogers and Meijers.

Married with a 2 1/2 year old son. He loves to hunt down the blinkie machines, red tags and coupons with me in stores. Wife loves that I am stretching our dollar.
