Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've been here. Got married, had a little girl. Life has been busy. For those who don't remember me or know me. I'm Lisa, Mother to two children. A teenage boy and a girl under the age of two. I'm a caretaker of an apartment building and I also clean homes/organize homes. My husband works outside the home as a body piercer full time.

I really need this place these days. I was looking through all the threads and I'm just in shock at how much I forgot. We've been struggling off and on lately as my husband has back problems and as of recently he's been racking up the medical bills. However, I need and want to get back to our simple living/frugal ways. My biggest problem these days is getting husband on board with me. Maybe I'll get some advice from others here on that. I have to remind him that being frugal doesn't mean going without, it means making choices that mean something or give you what you really want and need.

Anyway, I also noticed the coupon area again. Well, I've recently started clipping coupons and trying to get that to work for us. Boy, it's a lot of work! I totally envy anyone who can save tons by doing this. I'll learn from the best of you on this one!

But what I was going to say is that.. I'm the caretaker here. We do have recycling for newspapers and most people in our building do not clip coupons. So, I often pull out the coupons. I plan on doing that and If I see anyone who needs or look for certain brands I'd love to help out. I'll look over the coupon area more and post once I have more coupons to share.

So, I'm happy to be back and plan to be very active. I'm inspired again looking at the forums!

Hello everyone!
