2bearsmom · **Mommysaver of the week ~*LeeMP22*~**

What is your first name? Lisa

What are your kids’ names and ages?

How did you find Mommysavers? Have you referred anyone here? Were you referred here? I read about you guys knowing what day Old Navy marks down in a magazine (don't remember which one!) That's what drew me here, and I've been here every day since!

What does your screen name mean?

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't think of anything specific, but it's nice to know that you all are her for me whenever I need advice, an opinion, a shoulder to cry on or a swift kick in the pants!

What was the most recent coupon you used? today I used the coupon for the free Kraft cheese

What is your best tip for getting the most out of coupons? I always match coupons up to sale items and always shop where they double them

What was your most recent "bargain"? today I got a package of Kotex pads for $.89!

What have you done to save money this week? I went through the freezer and planned out dinners for the week and only went and picked up the items that I was missing

What do you consider a way of life that others think is a crazy way to save? definitely the coupon clipping and matching them up to the store's sales. It's time consuming, but worth it.

What is your favorite store in which to find bargains? I love Kohls and Old Navy for clearance deals especially for the kids

What is the best deal you ever found (even if it wasn’t at your favorite store)? when I was pregnant with Carmine, I had a good amount of maternity clothes from when I was pregnant with AJ so I really didn't want to waste money on more but I hated the way I looked in them since I gained so much weight the first time, and the clothes were really big. I went to K-mart and found tons of clothes on clearance. I came home with a huge bag full for like $20 (good luck getting one top for that at the specialty stores!) It was my best deal ever because I felt so great in my new clothes and even better knowing what I paid for them!

What is your best money saving tip? I use my grocery store's shop online feature to comparison shop at home, saving time and money. I put everything into my cart, know exactly what I'm going to spend and then print out my list aisle by asile.

What is your favorite frugal meal? pasta. I buy a case of crushed tomatoes when they're on sale and make sauce from scratch. The best part is that DH could eat it every day, so I don't feel guilty about serving it!

Is there something we would never guess about you? Some kind or quirk you have no one close to you knows about. (C’mon tell us!!!!) hmm, nothing exciting! I have a tattoo on my left ankle.

If money were no object, what 3 things would you buy yourself or your family? a big house, so my kids could have their own rooms with a big backyard, one of those huge luxury moblie homes so we could run away whenever we wanted to and a house for my Mom around the corner so she could babysit when Mommy and Daddy want to take the mobile home out alone

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

Are there words you live by? What are they? never pay full price!

Sum yourself up in 1 word:Klutz! I'm always walking into something!

MS Mom of the Week is a fun way for us to get to know the Mommysavers members. Newbies to the board as well as regulars are welcome to participate. The Mom of the Week is randomly selected a week in advance of her being featured. I do this so I can contact you, let you know your feature date, and arrange to receive a picture from you to include with the survey. Having a picture included is so we can make it a little more personal and put a name to a face. This is optional of course, as are all the questions being asked. If I don’t hear back from you before your “feature” date, I will randomly select the next person and then get back to you the following week. If you would like to participate please PM 2bearsmom and we will get you signed up.
