Hi Michelle,

Wow, I'm impressed. You really do your research! At lowesfoods.mybaby.com we've got monthly contests where you can win 25,000 green points, which I'm sure your readers would love to learn about. Come and talk to us and maybe we can arrange some sort of link trade.

Wow! You did great! Once I am at home full time I will have a better handle on my coupons - I've slacked off some since I've had the baby. What site do you use to manage yours?

I wish I had a website that would do it all for me but I do it myself, all the lovely clipping and sorting, Ive got the small files I keep them in. It works pretty well takes some time though....I don't know how I ever shopped without coupons! When are you gonna start staying home with katie? I bet your excited!

I was using thegrocerygame.com which is really a neat site to manage coupons. It compares what coupons you will be getting in the Sunday paper with the grocery stores that you shop at to get stuff really cheap. It does save time and money...I just need to get back into it.

My last day at the office is 8/1 and I couldn't be more excited!!!! I can't wait to spend more time with Katie during the day especially since she's doing so much and growing like a weed! :)
