Couponing

I know this isn't a memory from my younger days, but it's an ongoing thing I never want to forget. The hubby's a teacher, and as most wise people know, teachers don't get paid well. To help offset our expenses, I started couponing. My sister, Melissa, introduced it to me a few years ago. I follow one particular blog religiously: Freebies2Deals. I've scored everything from cereal, fruit snacks, canned goods, cleaners, lotions, pastas, formula, toys, and clothing for CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. Just today I came back from another adrenaline rush from Wally-World, scoring four boxes of Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaners for free, along with a Woolite Spray (for carpet removal) for free. Actually, I got paid. What's better than getting paid to shop? Doing this has definitely helped alleviate costs for our family. and I feel good that I'm doing my part, too--even if I am a stay-at-home mom. ;)
