So sad :( I found you about a month ago, don't ever remember reading that you had to limit membership. If you end up with extra spots, I would love to join. I consider myself advanced, but have learned a few things, like the knox coupon! Ohh, the happiness of that find! Either way, best of luck. I have enjoyed reading it while it was open!

I currently organize a play group and a preschool co-op, which takes up much of my time. And now my newest job is saving, saving, saving! So great that I am able to contribute to our family finances in a way that does not take from my kids. We were spending about $150-200 a week on grocery's and now are down to about $30 a week give or take. If only I had more time! Thanks for including all us in your blog viewing! You are great with getting overage which is just freaking awesome!!!

Hello, my name is Shannon and I am the mother of two great boys, Trevor (5) and Carter (4). I work part-time for a great group of attorneys and stay-at-home with the boys the remainder of the time. I am very involved with both of the boys schools. We are trying to pay off quite a bit of medical debt from some of Trevor's medical issues. I have been couponing since Feb. and have gone from $130'ish per week to about $70 per week. I have had one great week with $152 worth of groceries for $25...need more of those weeks (that is what I hope to learn from you). Looking forward to more tips about utilizing overage at my favorite store, Publix. Thanks so much....
