Wow!  If you had asked me two years ago where I saw myself, this would not have been a thought.  My how times have changed! 

My name is Patty and I live in Oak Lawn, Illinois.  I graduated from John Marshall Law School in the spring of 2004 and worked downtown at a large national law firm until I went on disability in January of 2008.  When I was 15 I was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes and had lived relatively problem free for 25 years (Go ahead - do the math people).  Then in January everything spiraled completely out of control.  I really thought my life was over - and it was....but just the life I knew.  And looking back, this life is sooooo much better!  I have time to spend with my family and nothing is more important.

However, because of the obvious cut back in funds, I have found a way to stretch every dollar we spend shopping.  I look at couponing as more of a game, and I love to win!  I knew that I had achieved "professional" couponing, the first time my 15 year-old son looked like he would rather have a fork in the head than go shopping with me.  Very different from when we just threw everything in the cart with no list, no coupons, no checking prices.....WHAT WAS I THINKING! 

Since I have the time and ambition to provide weekly match-ups between grocery and drug stores sales with coupons, I would love to share it with you!  I hope you come back often!
