Hello!
I'm Steph, the founder of www.debtfreespending.com and the Debt Free Spending plan! This forum is dedicated to couponing, frugal living, and debt free discussion. This is a place to share information about coupons, deals, frugal living, etc. We also want to reward those who are becoming debt free by giving them a place to celebrate!

I am a wife, mom, and teacher who started a ministry to help those in need. We give free toiletries to needy families each month. Through that process, I learned how to live for less on coupons and other frugal hints, and I wanted to share it with others.

Hubby (who is a nurse) and I have been married almost 14 years, and we have one son, who is adopted from Guatemala. We have three dogs and a cat, so we are BIG animal lovers! Welcome!

Hi...not sure if this is how to do this...BUT...
I am Kimberly...nurse for 30 yrs..hubby is senior pastor here at our church in NY. We are parents to 7 (his, hers and ours!) and Grammy and PopPop to 4. We also have 2 dogs and 10 cats!
We are a blended household w/ adult children living here....and one of the grands. We buys LOTS of groceries and I have over the past year rediscovered my LOVE of couponing! (After several yrs of not using!
We support the local food bank and local animal shelter w/ our "loot" and also have had the privilege of helping some needy friends during difficult times.
I am excited to join this forum..hoping to find more ideas for saving $$, helping our kids and others.
Blessings! Kimberly

Hi Kim and Steph!
Steph, thank you SO much for having me here. I'm Tangee, married to my hubby Ceasar, Mommy of 5 great kiddos, and full time grad student. Studying to get my masters in marriage and family counseling. I am an adoptive Mommy of three and was blessed with 2 bio kids after years of infertility. We currently have our five plus our 17 year old nephew living with us. In April of next year I will most likely have my mother living with us as well. We also help out my FIL right now who has no income, so things are stretched. I'm learning to coupon, but I've always been on deal sites looking for deals. Ebay is one of my favorite places to get deals on. With 8 of us in the home now my pantry has quickly been depleted. Our nephew came to us with basically nothing and we are having to provide everything from clothing to his personal hygiene items. So glad to be here!
