My name is Leah, I'm 19 years old and I was just married on August 28,2010. I'm a girl that loves to clip coupons and wants to save money any way she can, no matter what others think & here's my story.
As a young child, my mom would clip coupons, I HATED going shopping with her, I was embarrassed when she used them. Then for awhile she stopped. When I was in my teenage years(as I still am) she started using them again I didn't think much about it.
As a kid I never had to want for anything. My husband calls me spoiled and I guess you can say I was. If I wanted something, sooner or later, I got it. It didn't hurt me to ask my parents for $100 or so a week. I really thought money grew on trees. When I started working, I never wanted to pay my car payment or my phone bill I just wanted to blow my money, and I did.
Well since May of 2010 I've pretty much grew up A LOT. My now husband & I moved in together and I saw first hand how hard it was to live on one income.( I moved to another state to be with him) It was TOUGH. Me going from blowing money to not having any money to blow. All our money had to go to bills or groceries. Finally I got a job and we had extra money.
One Sunday Morning we decided to get a newspaper and coupons were in it. I clipped a few, but I didn't use them. The next Sunday I did the same thing. Well I got tired of our grocery bill being right at $100 a week so we started clipping coupons and using them. So far in the past month we have save right at $150 by using coupons.
I started this blog to help myself and to help others because in this day and world saving money is key. Whether you don't have the extra money,on a tight budget, or want to save money for Christmas,vacation,a new house, a new car, etc.
