What is your first name? Heather

What are your kids’ names and ages? Kylie age 2.5

How did you find Mommysavers? stumbled upon it while surfing the web

What does your user name mean? Old nickname plus my fav number

Out of all the things the members here have offered in terms of advice, support, counsel and criticism, what have you personally benefited from? And do you remember specifically who the member was that offered that advice? I can not remember anything specific because it seems I benefit from so many people's advice. This site has really help me to stay focused and learn tips from all the women that I probably would never have come up with on my own

How many coupons do you use on a regular basis? 5 on a bad week--20 on a good

What was your most recent "bargain"? I had a grocery trip that at regular price would have been $54 and I paid $18

What have you done to save money this week? Everything --I am trying to cut every corner I can this month since we just got back from vaca and I have to make up $150 we spent over--ooops That's ok I cut the clothing budget/food/ent so we should be more then fine. We also have a tiny buffer each month so it will all come out in the wash

What do you consider a way of life that others think is a crazy way to save? For some of my friends--couponing/eating in mostly/goodwill

What is your favorite store in which to find bargains? goodwill/several thrift stores and dept stores off season--love the 75-90% off rack with coupon can not beat it

What is the best deal you ever found (even if it wasn’t at your favorite store)? Went to a sample sale and got a designer gown that would have cost $560 for $40

What is your best money saving tip? Every penny counts

What is your favorite frugal meal? Beans and rice--the whole family loves it

Do you enter contests? If so, what is the best prize you’ve ever won? Have not really done that since my dd was born. I won a $150 pair of shoes once

If money were no object, what 3 things would you buy yourself or your family? a weekly maid/would buy a house outright/awesome vaca

If you had $10 to spend on yourself (you and you alone) what would you buy? cute shirt

Are there words you live by? What are they? "Just get it done and you won't have to do it anymore"

Sum yourself up in 1 word: Short

Congrads! I think that if I scored like you did on the dress I would hang it in my living room just so I could point it out to EVERYONE!
