Are You A Seasonal Couponer?

girlshoppingAre you a seasonal couponer? Do your couponing habits change with the weather?

I recently posted that question to Facebook Friends on MsCouponista.com. Here are some of my favorite answers:

  • Shirelle Williams I usually do a extreme shopping trip before summer because kids being out of school. I don’t want to take a lot of time away from going out had having fun.
  • Larissa Ruiz I wouldn’t say I’m a seasonal couponer, but it’s definitely harder to find time to clip – LOL – love the warm weather
  • Brooke Kathleen Nope I’m at it all year. Biggest thing is I have 7 cats and my neighbor has 5 cats and 4 dogs, so I am very OCD about couponing. The other things on sale add to the excitement.

What Kind of Couponer Are You?

I posted a few couponer pics on Facebook and Reader Joy F. shared a few pics of her own.  She shared a few recycle bin dumpster dive pics! She made it it out with a pretty good haul. 

How do you coupon? Do you get yours from trading, the newspaper or the recycling center too?

Thanks for sharing Joy!

Have You Ever Taken a “Break” from Couponing? Why or Why Not?

I recently posted that question to Facebook Friends on MsCouponista.com. Here are some of my favorite answers:

  • Gary-Cheryl Heikkila I have cut back for weeks at a time… only doing free or grocery deals when I need a break.. .easy to get burned out.
  • Pam Robles Absolutely not!! I cannot imagine ever taking a break from saving money!
  • Jo Fela well, what I have done, in the past, is take my box of coupon inserts and hide them in the garage: this way I didn’t have to look at them for a day or two.
  • Brandon-Sally Cox Done! For now that is. Got everything we need plus some. Being courteous to other couponers out there without a mass stockpile like mine! Lol

Giving Back with Coupons – Mom & Daughter Help the Homeless

image(1)Reader Shavonne M. and her super-cute daughter are saving angels! Check out this letter and picture they sent to me – just warms my heart…

Hi Ms. Couponista,

Three months ago my nine-year-old daughter decided to start a fundraiser drive for the homeless. She sells jewelry and popcorn to raise money for food for our local shelter and care packages for the homeless in the DMV. I have been able to use coupons to get free pasta and low-cost pasta sauce to make meals for our local homeless shelter. Yesterday we created 30 care packages for homeless men, women and children in the DMV area.

Here is a picture of my daughter and our stock pile prior to packing the care packages today. My daughter is very excited about hitting the streets and handing out the care packages next week. Hopefully we’ll be blessing to someone.

Shelves for Stockpile Room (Reader Photo)

Reader Stockpile PhotoLooking for some ideas for shelves to store your stockpile?

Reader ‘Box N Pocketsocks’ shared this photo on our Facebook page:

This is a photo of my stockpile room & the shelf unit I went with; it cost around $200 and holds up better than the plastic shelf units & cost not much different in the long run.

Thanks for sharing, ‘Box N Pocketsocks’! Do you have a picture you would like to share with us? Post it or message me on Facebook.
