  • About Me

    I'm happily married with 6 fur-babies! (2 dogs and 4 cats and they are all special needs.) My life is dedicated to helping animals in some way or another. I've practically made a full time job out of couponing. I've been doing this for a little over a year and I'm addicted! It seems to always amaze people how much I'm able to get for very little money so I thought it'd be nice to share! It is very time consuming but worth every penny saved! I also hope to help new couponers get into the game!

(I forgot 2 coupons so it would have been $1.25 less…oh well. I also got back $16.79 in ECB for the Covergirl, CVS allergy tablets and the Pepsi products.)

You’re probably wondering why I’m purchasing so many Pepsi products and I will probably be purchasing more. I can’t keep Pepsi or Mt Dew in the house b/t hubby and me so it will last us a long time. I got $10 back for purchasing $20 in products (which I didn’t even pay $20) Plus there is a Pepsi promo just in time for the Super Bowl…check it out!
