I have recently become a coupon shopper the last few months. I wouldn't say I'm extreme as some. I don't buy ten Sunday papers just to have ten copies of the coupons inserts, but I have bought coupons on ebay for a couple dollars to stock up on a few items. My most recent purchase was Huggies Baby Wipes and I got enough that my little boy will never have to worry about a dirty bum! They were the large refill packages, normally $8.99 and I bought them for $2.49 a package. I also have at least a two year supply of toilet paper, laundry soap, dish soap, toothpaste, shaving cream, and it's just the beginning. I have a lot of work to do. Some of my items I even got for free or made money off of. My toothpaste was a $1 moneymaker per tube! I'm waiting for a good diaper sale even though I already have a good collection. Casey doesn't quite understand but I've explained to him that you have to stock up on things while they are cheap and on sale so that you never have to pay full price for anything. Its also nice to know that if for some reason one of us happened to lose our job, we don't have to worry about buying those things until we have time to get back on our feet. It will be nice when we build our new house and have a storage room and bigger pantry but until then it is in storage containers and stacked in the garage. My sister-in-law Mindy is "the Queen" of coupon shopping and I learn new tricks from her everyday.
While the paint was out, our little princess Reece got some new stairs made so that we could move the pillows that she uses to jump in to her bay window. They even ended up getting carpet because her claws were slipping on the wood.
