[QUOTE="Cheerwyn, post: 448160, member: 12395"] It all sounds like positive steps. You've really honed in on a very basic point -- all those years of living in hotel rooms and from hand to mouth -- she has little or no concept of every day cooking and budgeting in her adult life. The idea of using coupons and sales to buy multiples of things for future use is just alien to someone who has lived from day to day. Have you guys checked out some of the online sites that post coupon matchups for specific grocery stores or foster coupon trains/exchanges? The ones that jump to mind are couponmom, iheartkroger, iheartcvs, and afullcup. I've joined a coupon train on afullcup...members post their wish lists of coupons that they're looking for and trade with others. One of the things that I like the most about the site is connecting with other moms who are also in the same boat - trying to be frugal. Something like that might really help Katie connect with other people who are in the same boat as she is but are making positive steps to be frugal and take care of their families. [/QUOTE]
