I'm doing quite well thank you very much you stupid DUmmie.

200 sq meter house that I pay 750 Euro/month for.  Just got a raise in January.  7th straight year that's happened.  Single income two teenaged kids living at home.

There's money to be made DUmmies...IF you're willing to work for it.

That's where the DUmmies have a problem.

My daughter started "couponing" a couple of months ago. She said she saved $78 the other day at the grocery!!! She uses both product company issued coupons and store coupons.

I can't figure out how she's saving so much, but the kids are almost 10 months and 3.5, and they have two labs...maybe she saves so much because she's using products that I just don't....dog food, diapers, little kid food, etc.

I don't find very many coupons on the stuff I buy. I did find out that I can "load" coupons into my Kroger card, and when I scan my card, the coupons will be auto-deducted from the receipt. Now, I just have to figure out how to get them loaded.  

I was into it for a little bit, especially couponing at CVS, I'll see if I can get back into it and find some links and start a thread on it in the right forum.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Couponing has been a life saver with diapers and formula.  My wife finds these people who are just giving away coupons for free packs of diapers.  Gets like 5 packs at a time for no cost at all.  She was able to do that with formula as well when Daniel was younger.
