Hi Ladies! My hobby right now is couponing. I've been doing this for almost a year and am starting to get good at it. I went to a local grocery store the other week and spent $75 and save $75 so I essentially cut my bill in half! I know that there are a lot of articles out there right now about couponing but, I have to say that I am not one of those couponers who has 50 cans of tomatoes, 100 toothbrushes, etc. that I've stocked up on just because it was a really great deal. I watch the ads and shop for what we truely need. This has become more of a necessity since my husband has been unemployed from his trade for 3+ years and we just had our second child. In the beginning I did do the couponing for the thrill of the sale and ended up donating a lot of it to a local womens shelter as they weren't items that we really needed. Now I just do it to save money for my family unless I come across one of those super, out of this world deals, that I just can't pass up. That doesn't happen very often though.

I was just wondering if there are any other couponing monkees out there. Want to share any of your good tricks of the trade?
