More Followers Monday!

2010-07-19T11:23:00.000-07:00

Hello fellow Followers! I'm 30 years old and recently became a Stay at Home Mom. I have a beautiful 16 month old baby girl (who is very naughty but just as sweet), and one on the way. I used to hate grocery shopping until I discovered couponing and snagging great deals. Now it's a game to me to see how much I can save. Now that I'm home it's even more important. Currently I'm working on my certification to become a birth Doula, and after that it's Postpartum Doula certification. Thanks for stopping by I hope you stick around a while! Oh, and our favorite summer activities are BBQ, Camping, riding our quads at the dunes and 4 wheeling in the mountains. We don't get a lot of sun around here so we enjoy it when we can!

Dear Person Who Stole the Coupon Inserts From My Paper...

2010-06-27T09:30:00.000-07:00

You know who you are. You rummaged through the paper at Fred Meyer and you took out the inserts without buying the paper. That's called stealing. I don't read the rest of the paper either, but I do pay for it. At least you didn't take the grocery inserts so I can use the coupon doublers at Albertson's. I can't really take the paper back and complain there were no inserts. What you did is against couponer code! No taking the coupons from the paper and no buying every single item on the shelf so nobody else can get a deal. I'm watching you!
