Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing. It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it? Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people. So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important. Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though? Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

If you know how to use coupons and match them with sales, then it is worth the 1/2 hr a week it takes to clip and organize, IMO.
Happy Friday, Gina!

I don't get our local paper anymore so I don't really get coupons anymore.
I shop at Trader Joes now, so no coupons for me. I occasionally go to the bigger supermarkets for certain products but I usually end up buying the store brand anyway.
For me, with just the two of us in the house, its a waste of time (besides we don't get the paper anyway). Perhaps that'll change when I'm dealing with diapers and baby food (you know, unless I use cloth and make the food).
We have 15% off Tuesday the first Tues of each month at all our local stores so that's my big grocery shop day, we fill our freezer with local meat twice a year and our garden goes a long way in the summer.
Of course now that I have an unemployed husband I may change my lax grocery shopping ways and have hime clip coupons.
