Welcome to my lil' spot on the net!

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

Nichole's the name and coupon's the game! :-) I know such a silly ditto! But if you don't know me then you don't know that I have a LOVE for bargain shopping! About 2 years ago I realized HOW to shop the correct way to get more for your money! Have have been on a roll ever since!

I am married to the most awesome guy ever! He's my love and I love being able to help out in our home by saving money while shopping. He thinks its totally cool and doesn't know WHY in the WORLD the corporate world has let this gig go on for so long! Because the majority of people think what I do is nuts and to much work! For us its a way of life. Yes, I am labels that girl in line at check out stand... but then when they see how much I pay? most of them change their minds pretty quickly!

We are expecting our first little one this coming July! We are super excited and can't wait to be parents! This kiddo has already benefited from its Momma's bargain shopping already and doesn't even know it! I have been able to get LOTS of great deals on cloth and disposable diapers for baby!

I also make money in several different ways all while staying at home! I have been able to sell my stock pile and make some money. And how we do that! I also make a few dollars here and there filling out surveys, using rebates, and several other things you can find here.

Something random about me.... I LOVE and collect every item in the Amish butterprint Pyrex collection and about anything that matches them! :-D

I hope you come back often to check out deals I find for you, check out my Grocery Tracking Spreadsheet, and my CVS E-Book!

Join me on Facebook or Twitter!!!

You can get ahold of me here anytime! Share

Congrats on the new baby - we're expecting too!

And I know what you mean about coupons/ deals - it is FUN!

I don't have the time to always do this anymore, but get such a thrill when I save as much (or more) than I spend.

Check out my blogs for giveaways this week - you might enjoy the baby one!

Goodness, I love your Amish Butterprint Pyrex, I also have a boat load of Pyrex, I love it all. I prefer the bright colors of pyrex but do have a few pieces that match yours that were my Grams, so they will be with me forever.
I am just learning about being more coupon savvy. I am always looking for a bargain and am now not afraid to stock pile an item when i can get it cheap or free. Might as well sit on my shelf instead of the store shelf.
Thanks for inviting us in for the party. It has been great. I am a new blogger and this is my first Blog Party.
If you get the chance to stop by my blog I am hosting a Surprise Door Prize. I don't even know for sure what it will be, I have lots of great ideas. A gift card, or a box of my favorite things.. who knows.
Have fun!! I am...
