CRAZY for coupons!

Hello all Happy Memorial Day!
And a big Thank You To all our men and woman who serve this country!
I wanted to do a post today because so many of my friends have asked about my coupling and how i do it. I can't give myself the credit really i like many of you tried couponing here and there over the years saving a few pennies and being grateful for that but never in my wildest dreams did i imagine that i could save hundreds of dollars or get anything for free!
  Ive always considered myself a frugal kinda gal sure i drool over $1700 Christian Loubotins like the next gal with a shoe fetish but i can't bring myself to pay tons of my hard earned cash on such a thing.
My fascination with the tremendous amount of savings that can be gotten threw couponing began with I'm sure the same as many of you the show Extreme Couponing!, I couldn't believe how much these people saved, Although i know that some of it is not as accurate as it may seem there is great savings to be had by devoting a few hours a week and some patients to couponing. 
I live in a small space so i can only coupon so much but i have managed to make a pretty nice little stock pile of things we need and use This does take time so be patient .

Ive made it a point to not by things for the sake of getting them free, I do by some things we don't use like Dish washing machine products, and diapers and wipes(i don't have a baby)

Certain things like this i buy because 1. I shop for a friend of ours9 I've become a personal shopper of sorts), 2. So many people i know are having babies  and my neighbor has a disabled child and she uses them as well so i buy these things and make gift baskets for baby showers super cheap(wipes and diapers make the best gifts i think MY FIANCEE CHALLENGED ME TO MAKE A GIFT BASKET UNDER $20! I made this gift basket pictured above for $12 it had 6 jumbo packs of diapers 6 containers of wipes and 6 outfits, 2 packs of hair bows and a blanket) 3. I donate where ever and when ever i can(i have 3 kids at home but none can use 55 tubes of toothpaste) but if its free I'm sure my friends and family and a good charity can use it.
   So with that said i did a little research and i have settled on 2 websites i use the most first is Livingrichwithcoupons.com i swear by this website she does all the work for you short of shipping for you this woman Cindy is amazing, her site is very easy to follow, and so informative she took all the anxiety out of it. And i also usehttp://thekrazycouponlady.com this was the first website i tried and it too is very useful but i do have to say i like livingrichwithcoupons.com better but that's the thing you have to use what works best for you, so just give it a try i believe its so worth it my kids and fiancee thought i was crazy at first but my daughters never have to buy make up

 and my fiancee loves the money we save and never running out of anything, ( I fondly remember last summer when i was able to get 300 SoBe Life waters and 400 Lipton Tea's all for free)And always having what we need and want without it breaking the bank! In this economy its worth the time and effort you will put in,I shop about 2-3 times a week making trips to or from work as not to go out of my way and in due time you will see your stockpile grow Good Luck! And here's a few pics of my shopping trips for inspiration!
