Hi everyone,
My name is Gina, and I'm a busy mom of three kids (5, 3 & 3) that lives just outside Washington DC. I'm joining the group as the "Coupons Expert" to help all of you increase your savings with coupons. There are so many ways to make a great impact on your shopping and family budget. I'm excited for us to work together and help each other succeed!
My goal is to guide you towards major savings using coupons. I am looking forward to sharing some helpful strategies with you and hope you'll participate through questions and comments. I would love to see this group become a strong community.
When you have a minute, please introduce yourself and give me a sense of where you are with coupons. What do you find challenging? What do you want to learn more about? It's also helpful to hear what part of the country you're writing from, if you don't mind sharing it.
I'm looking forward to meeting you,
Gina

Hi Gina,
My name is Michelle. I have 4 children (19,16, almost 5 and almost 21 months). I am a coupon freak. I clip and clip. Print and clip. Scour the ads and make my lists. I am always looking for sales and according to my hubby, nobody knows prices like I do! Admittedly, I am neurotic with my coupons and my savings! LOL, I'm so glad you are here. Any ideas I can help with, please let me know!

Hi Gina,
I'm a mom of two kids. I'm pretty bad at using coupons. I always forget to bring them to the store with me. But, we need to start saving more money on our grocery bill, so I'm trying. I am good about using online coupon codes when I shop online (much harder to forget!), and I love getting good deals.

My name is Laura and I live in Oregon. I was a stay at home mom for 5 years and have recently returned to working outside the home full-time. I have used coupons in the past when they were convenient but would like to start clipping before I create my grocery list so that I can incorporate coupons into my list to make the most of my budget. With two kids 3 and 5 I don't have a lot of extra time on my hands so I am excited to find a spot that can help me cut down on the time I spend searching for coupons. I am looking forward to learning from you all!

My name is Jessica and I live in Orange, Texas. I am a stay at home mom/office manager of my husband's buisness and at times I am one of his ground hands when he is short. I am a mother of 5 (20,17,15,8 &7). I have to admit, I don't use coupons. Most of the time I forget them. I find it hard to find good coupons nowadays. In the past I have used them and would get them out of our Sunday paper, but the Sunday paper is usually just full of selling mail order things and not many coupons. I've tried going on line and finding some, but I've never been sucessful with printing them. I hope you guys can help me. This summer so far, my kids are eating me out of my house! In advance I want to say "Thank you!"

Hello Gina,
I am a housewife and mom of five sons. Two live on their own now, but still I have a large family to care for. I have used coupons for at least 15 years and don't know how I could have ever made it without them. I not only use grocery coupons, but any other type of coupon or discount I can find. I live in Georgia.

Hi Alphanet,
Welcome to our group! Sounds like you're a coupon vet--I hope you'll share your wisdom and experience with all of us. I think you have some of the new E-coupon options available (I know they're available in the Atlanta area). That can mean additional savings on top of your paper coupons.
