I am a Grandmother of 6, 5 boys and 1 girl. Have 3 children, all grown up and cozy on their own. Come from a family of 15. I work for Giant Tigers full time Cashier/Customer Service. Mother, Dovina lives in a Nursing Home and is Very Frail in heath. This has come to cost plenty of $, time and effort. Hair Cuts, and clothing for her extra. ( Mother Cannot Read or Write) So she remains very childlike and dependent on the family. I don't know how she raised 15 children without the knowledge of language but she did :) and I am grateful to have her as my own. Father Passed in Sept. 1982. I come from a Poor, but Proud Farmers Family.

Was feeling depressed over the health of my Mother and her needs, and with family/friends deaths around me at such young ages.
I thought to myself " I need to retire early" I Need to Find Ways to "Get Mothers Needs Meet" - "My Grandchildren" With only a minimum wage job and little skills ( Been on my own since 13 yrs of age) What do you do? I asked myself.
I remeber my mothers teachings on Couponing. Well, needles to say! I started searching for coupons, then online ways to save money, (eg.. Ebates ) and in the papers (May this yr).
I found all kinds of places, and started folliwing advice of other web site pros. Just this month alone I saved over $200.00! I tell U ppl I was HOOKED!
By Utilizing any money that was saved to spoil my grandchildren and My Mother Dovina, ( now in a nursing home) with all the free bee stuff, coupons for the Hair Dresser (me and mom go together once a month)
If there is any remaining money to put into my RRSP. It's not much, but every extra into it adds up. My goal is not to be a financial burden on my children when I too get to that "Golden Age"
My Face Book pages were getting blogged up with to many coupon sites. An FB Friend Pam, saw the savings I had made, found it amazing and suggested to open a group. I must say " At first I thought it was silly". Nobody likes a crazy couponer?? Do they?? Pam encouraged me and .. We decided to call me the "Coupon Tiger" Tigress", cause that's what they call me were I currently work as a Cashier. (It's a living) and I am proud to be Canadian.
