Coupon Clipping

Like I stated earlier I was never one to shop around or coupon clip.

Over the last year I have really gotten into this. I think it all started with our New Parenting classes that we took at the hospital before we had our first child. We received so many free samples along with coupons. We were told how expensive it was to have a child. I cut every coupon and placed them in an envelop. I would check to see once a week what these coupons expiration dates were and use them before they had expired. I had quit a stock of diapers, misc. baby toiletries, and food before our daughter Bailey arrived.
I continued to do this with everything I bought. We received the daily newspaper, which I would look in Sunday's and clip the items I needed.
Before you knew it I was saving a $1 here and $2 there.

I then added on online coupons. Some sites I love are:

One of the best deals I have received:
Target at one time had a coupon $1 off the purchase of two Gerber items. I was able to purchase baby food for as little as $.02 a container. Yes, that's right $.02. I totally stocked up on as many as I could for that price. Now that is saving money!!
