I am so excited that you are visiting Surviving The Stores!
My name is Rachel and I was born and raised here in Texas. I love it here and I truly cannot imagine living anywhere else (although I sometimes wish the weather was a little less quirky). I am married to an amazing man and we have three little ones (so far).
I began Surviving The Stores in September 2008 as a way to keep myself accountable in grocery budgeting. I was not raised in a couponing family, so the whole couponing world was very new to me. I mistakenly thought that people who used coupons ended up paying more for items than those who bought the off brands.
After getting the hang of it and saving us literally THOUSANDS of dollars I thought that maybe my experiences and finds could be helpful to others. With the economic times as they are, more and more people are trying to cut back and figure out ways to “Survive The Stores.” I am here to help!
