    Default What shall a mother do?

    ok i have a 23 year old daughter. She thought money grew on tree's till she had to start paying her own bills.I have been frugal through out up bringing,her fiance kinda spoils her, but they have decided to buckle down, they have 2 boys 5y 13m, she decided to start useing coupons, i had to laugh because she thought even if you bought 5 of the same item you could only use 1 coupon thats it. Im like no honey if you have 5 same items you can you use 5 coupons that match it, she is OHHH is that how this works. You gotta love them...

    I know that a few stores around here will let you use one coupon for multiples of the same item.

    My Dad taught us very young that if we could find a coupon for it, he'd buy it. No coupon or sale, no choices. We hunted mostly for our favorite cereal coupons, cut them out and gave them to Dad. He did most of the shopping and we'd go with him if we wanted him to buy our favorites.

    One step at a time. I've still got a LOT to learn, and I'm 27. It's good she is making an effort though.

    To be honest with you, it seems like the rules change by the minute for coupons and I've been around them all my life and I'm still confused about them!

    She is lucky to have you go to for frugal support and encouraging! I can't imagine people who have NO support.
