My Mom got to see it in action!
I've been telling my Mom for months how I get a ton of food and HBA for next to nothing. She'd just respond with "that's good dear". Well, my parents came into town for the weekend and DBF was using my truck to get firewood, so I asked my Mom if she'd take me grocery shopping. I had been emailed a coupon for $25 off a $100 grocery trip - good for this weekend only. I had to do it. Anyway, I didn't just use the $25 coupon, I used a ton of coupons, got extra credit for my canvas bags and really worked the bogo free items. She was AMAZED at all I got! She told my Dad "you should see all the free stuff she got!". I think she's hooked now!
(Plus I got to finally show her my non-food stockpile, that cost me next to nothing!)Stacey

I agree. My mom did the same thing. THEN every time we were over there, she wanted me to go with her to the store. I would say, I have a coupon for that and pull it out and give it to her.
Congrats on showing her and her getting it.
