Hi, my name is Heather.  I am a coupon addict.  In fact, I’m a shopaholic!  Ironically, this love affair with shopping did not actually begin until I gave up my head-of-household income to be a stay-at-home mom.

Today alone, I saved $39 at the grocery store, spending just $33 on fresh produce, fresh pasta, chicken, snacks, and enough sodas for a school party.  Next, I headed next door to the Dollar Tree for Nature’s Own bread at $1 a loaf (it expires in a couple of days, but between daily sandwiches, the fridge, and the freezer, we won’t waste a bit.)  Last, I kept pushing my cart on down to the Dollar General where my eye had spied a 75% off sidewalk sale on summer items- plus there was more inside!  Waterguns, beach balls, goggles, and more for next summer’s birthday boy!  By now, I’m heading home on a shopping high.  And people wonder how we make it on one income.
