[Veronica Smith]

Now that Sarah will be at school, you will find yourself looking for coupons
for this or that. Smile!

I have used coupons.com before, where I print out coupons to take to the
store.  I had to download a small program onto my computer so the bar codes
would print.  It's okay, but I don't do as much with coupons as I could.

Subject: [blparent] Question about coupons and ads

Hello,

Getting ready to celebrate Declan's first birthday on the 29th. Can't
believe it's been a year.

Okay, I have a question:

When I was sighted, I combed through daily and weekly store ads and clipped
coupons. Since losing my sight, I've found it very difficult to do this. I
like to budget shop and find deals especially when it comes to groceries,
but most of this stuff is inaccessible. And I don't have anyone in my life
whom can consistently go through ads and coupons.

I miss being able to do this, and I would love to do even more to cut back
and save a little money when shopping. How do others handle this, and what
are your suggestions, tricks and is there a way to do this stuff that's more
accessible? I've even found online ads and coupons to either not be
accessible or not provide the kind of info I'm looking for. It gets very
frustrating.

I'd appreciate any advice and suggestions.

Bridgit
