About

Hello and welcome to Coupon Mamacita! Thanks for visiting!

I’m Myrah (AKA Mamacita!), Marilu’s mom, Osvaldo’s wife, former Realtor and PTA President, etc, etc. etc. and a woman who wears MANY different hats.

I love saving money and finding ways NOT to WASTE it! On this frugal blog I write about how to live a frugal lifestyle using coupons. With a $900/ budget to spend on groceries, personal hygiene, keeping the house fresh, etc., NOT was my idea of FRUGAL! BUT, the economy challenged us to look for other means of savings.

Watching a TV show one day, a couponer spoke about a $200 purchase at Wal-Mart where she only paid $10! At that moment, I said to myself: IMPOSSIBLE! Well, I am proud to say, IT IS POSSIBLE!!

What started as a radical life change soon became an exhilarating, beat-the-system challenge to feed our family for less. Neighbors and friends started to ask what was our secret into saving so much for PREMIUM items. This is when Coupon Mamacita & M amacita La Cuponera were born!

It’s been difficult learning to re-evaluate our wants from our needs but I can honestly say our life is so much simpler due to the changes we’ve made.

I invite you to follow me through this new frugal passion-venture, and have fun digging through the archives and follow along as we reduce our budget, using coupons, and get creative with the resources we have. I will show you the way to BIG TIME SAVINGS! I’ve found an incredible amount of resources and support and thought I share with you dear readers.

**Here is a list of some of the articles I have been Featured in**

OUR MISSION:

To Promote and help families and individuals learn how to use coupons, store incentives, rebates and other forms of savings and applying them to their everyday products at the cheapest prices.

Hi there! I moved to Orlando, Fl from PR a year ago and everyone was telling me about how great coupons work here. I was a little embarrassed to use coupons, but after seeing people in the store using them like there’s no tomorrow, no I am excited. I just started a month ago and Thank God I found this blog. I have tons of coupons and I am going crazy, I had no idea there are books about couponing or classes or blogs, any of that. It’s a little overwhelming but i am determined to save money!

Leslie June 6, 2011 at 10:44 AM
