  • Hello Alicia, I'd say, welcome but I am new here too. ;) Congratulations on being a Smart Mom who is taking charge of your life. You sound like your heading in the right direction. One tip I can give you is to use coupons, especially for baby products. Start buying a Sunday Newspaper and asking your family and friends for the coupons out of their papers too. It helps to have at least (2) of each coupon. It works great with the B1G1 FREE Deals, because you can get one FREE Product and then give them (2) coupons making the (1) item your paying for Super Cheap or FREE! There are a lot of FREEBIES you can get each week for you and your baby from your local drug stores like CVS, Walgreens, and a few others.

    Once you start following and doing it each week, you'll never have to pay for toothpaste, shampoo, cards, over the counter medicine and things like that again. You can also get some food products for free, but that is harder in some areas, like mine here in New Orleans.

    There are plenty of FREE sites that will tell you what to buy each week and what coupons to use to either get the item free or make money. Yeah, some items you get paid to buy when you add a coupon with the sale. I have a FREE Blog just type my handle with .com on the end to see it. You could also do a search in Swagbucks or Google. There are many good sites out there with lots of free information. Good luck I hope this helps you if only a little bit.
    Good luck to you and your baby!
    God Bless,
    Laura
