The Proof: Kroger Spent $56.49, Saved $60.08

THE HUSBAND kept the boys while I took my trip to Kroger tonight and it is a good thing he did. The trip took me longer than usual and I had to do a lot of thinking to make things work. I did not realize how little is left at “my” Kroger. They are opening the new Fountain City Kroger next week so of course they did not have a lot of the sale items in stock. My guess is they did not order a whole lot so almost half …

Our Frugal Family Saturday

We had hoped to head to the pumpkin patch today, but it was cold and rainy.  THE HUSBAND and I  had to rethink the morning.
We decided instead to take the boys to the free Lowe’s Build & Grow Clinic. It was really fun. They had fun banging away with hammers and I had fun watching them in their cute work aprons.  Then we walked around the store checking out lights,  swing sets,  carpets and whatever else the boys saw.
After exploring the tools section (The HUSBAND’s favorite place on earth), we …

Free Sample Airborne Immune Defense

I was excited to see this because THE HUSBAND loves this stuff. He takes it any time he thinks he is getting sick.  Never tried it? You can sign up to get a free sample of Airborne Immune System Defense for you and a friend.
Just click “Free Sample” in the middle of the screen. After you fill in your email address and a friends email address (If you don’t know anyone who would appreciate this I  suggest using a  junk email for the friend) the form will come up.
Thanks, Wendi

Coupon Katie Featured in August Issue of First for Women

When THE HUSBAND said a few months ago, “Honey, you should start a web site…” and show people how to save money on their grocery bills; I never thought it would amount to much.  Well, I did that and before I knew it traffic to this site was taking off.
The next thing I knew, local TV stations were sending crews over to the house to interview me about CouponKaite.com.  That was a lot of fun.  The boys got a big kick out of seeing mommy and daddy on TV.  But …

Why Did You Start Using Coupons?

It is a question I get asked a lot.  I re-read my “About” page and realized it didn’t really tell the whole story of why and how I started couponing.
The short version- we needed to save money.
Then there is the long version:
THE HUSBAND and I have been on the Dave Ramsey cash envelope system for several years.
We had weekly budget meetings (Ugh), our emergency fund, and a plan to pay off our student loans and mortgage.
Then a few major events changed our financial situation…
We were outgrowing our small house.  Last …
