Coupon Mom

I have been pretty quite the last few months. A lot has been on my mind, but for some reason I don't have the passion or the will to argue lots of my points. I am rather disappointed in myself, but I really don't feel like spending the time and energy on my political rants...I'm sure I'll be back to my old self one of these days. :)

So on a positive note I have rummaged up something that I consider to be "blog worthy". :) It's a website that I discovered at my Mother-in-Law's house. It's:

www.couponmom.com

Go there...it will change your life! he he he

I had seen this before on daytime TV shows (when passing through) I have heard the founder on the radio before, but I never took a good honest look at what her site was about. I mean, I clip coupons, I save a few bucks here and there...I thought I was doing good. BOY was a wrong!

Basically she has taken coupon clipping and pumped it full of steriods. She teaches ladies how to shop and how to save and she has created an spectacular database to show everyone where to get the best deals, and how to do so! It rocks.

At Liz's house (my MIL) she opened her pantry and it was stocked full of items that were either free or bought for pennies on the dollar (no joke)! She had at least 10 bottles of shampoo that were FREE, she gave Renee 2 free tooth brushes, Johnson and Johnson buddies shampoo, conditioner, soap, and Disney Princess toothpaste (all free). She had Tide detergent, dawn dish soap, and other things...all 50 CENTS OR LESS! I was amazed. She now spends less than $50.00/month to feed and care for her household (herself, hubby, and one teenage stepson).

In this economy where we are all watching our bottom line...at least take a look at her site. It's so cool. Be willing to spend some time getting newspapers and stocking up for the next few months on coupon books and circulars...but MAN this is awesome and so worth it. We can't change the government from taxing the hell out of us, but we can manage our own pocketbooks and our own lives. Here is a great tool to do just that. :)
