    Hello!

    My name is Tiffany, and I'm a couponaholic. My husband is currently deployed, and instead of spending the extra money, I've been getting more and more frugal and trying to save every penny. I've gotten to the point where it pains me to buy anything at full price. I started getting free samples just to get mail, then I realized how much money we were saving, and it all just snowballed from there.

    Hello and welcome from Michigan. I would be a coupon freak too if I could go to a commisary to shop. You do know coupon expiration dates don't count at a commissary. I would be raiding recycling centers all over town for expired coupons. You could get groceries almost free if combined w/ sales.

    Our commissary will take them up to two weeks expired. A friend of mine over seas said her's will take them up to 6 months expired, so I send my expired expired ones to her. (Yes, I mean to put two expired's in there hehe)

    Where in Michigan are you? My husband grew up in Michigan.

    Oh, count me in as one of the couponaholics I really doubt I'd make it as well w/o them.

    Glad you found your way over here. Sounds like you'll fit right in!

    Welcome aboard!
