Wow !!!!! You did an amazing job. Way to go

[ticul]

Niceeeeee. You did really good. Very nice to see so much deals. Good for you to be a stay at home mom. Thank you for sharing such a great brag...................

[coupon girl]

awesome savings -I was a stay at home mom years ago -stayed home for 8 years and I used .20 .25 or .30 cent coupons back then

[SavvyLady]

When I first saw your thread I thought you were asking a question..I was ready to give you all my tips.but you don't seem to need them!!.I was a stay at home mom for 10 years..and people kept asking me how I did it..I truly believe I saved more staying home (and I had a great job) I have 3 children, so day car would have been ridiculous not to mention never seeing my kids, car, gas, clothing, make-up etc....

[TooCouponCrazy]

Awesome savings.

[joandstef]

Nice shop!

[saveaholicmama]

Thanks everyone for all your kind words And I'm so happy so many of you got to be stay at home moms. Its the best job ever and my hubby and I calculated it after my daughter was born 3 years ago, and it was cheaper for me to stay home than if I were to work part time. That was even before couponing

[lotsasavings]

As a stay-at-home mom, you're able to spend precious time at home with your daughter and "work" at couponing/saving . . . which we all know takes time, management and organizational skills. Way to go!
