This baby has nothing to do with the post, I just think he is darling….
Thankfully he has grown into his ears!
This is a question from Tracy and I think people have asked me this before and I have not understood what they were asking!
So, you do shop with your binder? I am still embarrassed to pull out all of my coupons. I have been thinking about getting a binder, and this encourages me to go for it. Do people stare at you?
YES! I shop with my binder. I put it right up in the front of the cart where you would put a little one and buckle him in! Honestly, and this could be a post in itself, I am used to people staring at me when I shop because I have 6 kids. I am also very conditioned to very rude stares and comments. But, in the beginning I was very embarrassed to be shopping with that many kids AND using coupons.
I also live in a very affluent area. Let me assure you we do not qualify! But, for good and bad we happen to live in a very wealthy community. That being said, not many Women coupon, which is good for those of us who do! No one would be caught dead in our Walmart shopping, so I am fairly safe there 🙂 At the grocery stores people are very curious, I ALWAYS get asked about my binder and the kids. I love it now, people are very impressed and I have had only positive coupon questions from people. Comments on the number of children I have on the other hand… are still rude and pathetic.
** If you are a single Woman and looking… I have more Men stop and talk to me and look through my binder than Women!! They are super curious and think it is brilliant to use baseball card holders! I have had men follow me around the store chatting about coupons and how they are interested and how they wish their wives would do it! They stay around and will watch me check out. It is really funny.
Like my husband always reassures me, who cares if they stare, you are the one saving the money you should be staring at them for being so dumb as to not be using coupons!
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
my tip of the day…
don't forget…. no matter whether you use a box or binder..MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION ON IT! not that any of us would ever be scattered brained enough to leave our coupons in a store or worse yet a shopping basket in a parking lot, but just in case. If they find it they might be nice enough to return it if your information is on it!
I also shop with my binder in the kid seat if I'm out without the baby. I usually get a lot of good comments and questions. It also gives me an opportunity to hand off a coupon that's about to expire that I'm likely not going to use.
I don't have 6 kids, but I have 3 that are ages 4.5, 3, and 1. I also get a lot of comments on having so many little ones at once, and not all of them are very polite. Oh well. The cranky folks don't know what they are missing, I guess.
That is some AWESOME hair!
I have 5 children and noone ever says anything about it..I am sure they ralize that at any negative comment about my kids I will take off my earrings and throw down.
Everytime I shop i have wonderful comments about my coupon binder. I have neer had any weird looks. YAY! I am not embarassed at all. It feels good for me to feel like people think I am actually organized… not so in real life away from the cuponing world.
That child is precious!!! absolutely LOVE the hair!
Thank you so much for answering my questions and for not making me feel like an idiot for asking them.
