- Welcome to my savings blog! My name is Erin and I am a single mother of 3 wonderful girls, ages 10, 12 and 18. Not to mention we also have two dogs. I got started with couponing around 2004 and have challenged myself to see how far my money will take me.
It is like paypal without the fees and a great way to pay postage on coupons

Erin, the video keeps playing advertisements, not the video of you.
Congrats on the article/segment. I can't seem to get the video to work. It shows Walgreens and Tejas Toyota but no segment. :(
I was not able to watch the video but did read. Great work!
I tried several times to watch this, but only see the walgreens and Tejas car dealer ads. I tried with IE and Firefox. Is there an issue playing it or just on my end? Nice article though! :)
Hey Erin,
I can't seem to get the video to play. All I am getting is a commercial. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kris B
I can not view it, all I get are commercial's
sorry all, the station is aware the video is not running and will have it up and running by Monday.
So Erin, you decide if it is any of our business or not, but I'm curious if you got paid for this segment! If you did are you adding it to the budget, LOL? :)
BTW - I cant wait to see it!
Jenny, nope...not a dime, lol.
But the kids went with me to the station and got lots of stickers and pencils with the channel 13 logo on them :)
Awesome article, video, and great transcript for the chat! Erin, I am amazed and this weekend managed to save 30.00 at Walmart and came away with free cereal and several other items. It was the best feeling! Now if Oklahoma would get a Kroger or Randalls or SOMETHING that is a national chain...that would be really helpful in the grocery department with FOUR teenagers....three who are big ole boys!
wtg vickie...it does feel great when you know you don't have to pay full price for stuff.
BTW, I could wager my 9 year old could eat as much as a teen boy if she tried. She is growing like a weed but less than 60 lbs still, lol.
Erin,
I see they finally got the video up and working! I am so glad! You did terrific. Not only do you do great shopping but your house is so pretty and uncluttered. You do a great job with everything especially raising those girls on your own!
thanks Precious! I am actually doing a follow up tomorrow that will air this week.
I loved it!! Im looking forward to seeing the follow up.
Loved the video!!
You are amazing!I wish I could build up a stockpile too!
Erin, this was great!!! Keep it up girl! :)
Also: I'm very jealous of all your Soy Milk! They've cranked up the prices on Silk here and it's cheaper to buy other brands than to use the coupon :(
I heard of you on ktrk yesterday.
thank you for all the wonderul advise. Now I hope I can put it together.
Yeah, the link is not working. But we live in the houston area, so we saw it last friday. You deserve two thumbs up, proving that people shouldn't go broke just to eat... BTW, we took your advice from a couple of weeks ago, and started a garden, and we have fenced off an area of the yard just for the dogs. Thanks so much for sharing all your genius strategies for saving!
