My daughter is away at college and she loves to get mail. Whenever I send her a card I like to enclose a little surprise, something that will fit inside a card like a bookmark, flat decorative magnet, stickers, shampoo samples, etc. Lately I have been sending coupons for the foods she likes, makeup she uses and cleaning supplies. She called me last week all excited and said, "Mom, guess what? I saved $13 at the store because they were taking double coupons." She is now becoming a thrifty person like her mom.

How proud you must be!!
My nephew in college uses coupons, too, but I never could get his Mom, my sister to use them. Like I always say, "money saved at the grocery, etc. with coupons is money that can be used elsewhere!"

That's great that she uses them. I like to go to the Wallet Pop site & look at their freebies section. Last week I was able to get 3 samples (a woman's razor, 2 coffee flavor packets, & something else). You could have this stuff sent directly to your daughter. I check the site every day or 2. The Walmart's site also has a lot of give-aways.

You must be so proud! My 10 year old has started to help me clip coupons. She is always looking for the clearance rack at the store.
You are doing such a good thing teaching her this.
