I love to coupon. I do. I get sort of a rush out of looking at my receipt after checking out and seeing my total coupon savings. It’s not that I’m looking for freebies or trying to cheat the system. But companies offer their coupons so you’ll try their product and maybe become a repeat customer. Which has been the case for me many many times. I’m not a coupon stacker and I don’t have 25 bottles of ketchup. But if it’s something we need and I have a coupon, that’s great!
I like to clip coupons, find coupons on store apps, use rebates, google coupons and promo codes ect. I use coupons for everything! Clothes, food, car parts, oil changes, furniture, home improvement supplies, admission tickets and the list goes on. I’m also a points junkie and love to use my credit card points toward hotel nights, flights, car rentals, gas and so on. I think you get the point (pun intended)… I like to save a buck. And I like to save my friends and family money too.
So, the other day I was getting ready to leave to take Tru to his swim lesson. I looked down at my phone for a minute; A place where I often find coupons and promo codes. Tru asked me “What are you looking for? A coupon on my swim lesson?” I couldn’t help but laugh! My 3 year old has even picked up on my couponing obsession… er, affection. The best part? I actually had already had the huge fortune of getting this months swim lessons completely free using…. coupons!! 🙂
I can completely relate to this. I love using Walmart’s Saving Catcher, Ibotta, Checkout 51, etc. I also LOVE reward programs. I have an entire section dedicated to them all on my blog lol. They’re just so simple to use and I save sooo much with minimal effort. I’ve redeemed around $40-50 since June. 🙌 #Ihaveaproblem. At least it’s saving me money!

Interestingly, I don’t use those things you mentioned. I’ll have to look into them and check out that section on your blog!! Thank you. 🙂

No problem, I would definitely check them out on the App store (or play store)! They are super helpful and easy. Ibotta especially gives the big discounts and usually has a lot of baby stuff. I received $1 back on baby food and $2 on diapers the other day, and was able to apply the diaper codes to the Pamper’s Reward program! Happy coupon-ing!

Coupons are rarely used here, but I do love using them when I can. And especially getting savings when possible, coupon or no.

I used to coupon but when the twins were born, it was one of many things that got dropped. I’ll occasionally check for digital coupons at Publix and I definitely try to shop the sales, but it’s nothing like what I used to do.

I had to stop for a time too. It’s definitely an added layer of effort to an already difficult shopping trip. But lately the boys have been coping better with shopping so it’s on!!

My 3 year old does the same to me! She always asks if I have my coupons with me and if they aren’t in the diaper bag, she puts them in there. I also let her play with my expired coupons and she is the happiest girl in the world playing with, “mommies coupons”. They definitely catch on fast lol

That’s so cute! How nice that she is learning to manage money wisely and make it go further already at such a young age!
