I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Deals and Steals

October 11th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Shopping Haiku

A poor mom shops,
Determined spirit soars,
In hopes of finding a deal!

I love finding a great deal online and it’s a real good day if I can get free shipping. I rarely buy anything online without a coupon or some discount. I find most of my coupons by Googling which can be time consuming so imagine my delight when I found ultimatecoupons.com. Tons of coupons for all the places I like to shop. All in one place and without pop-ups, pop-unders, and anything else that pops. Kohls, grocery, and Toys R Us coupons, oh my!

The sweetest deal of all is a contest on their blog to win a Nintendo Wii! The contest is sponsored by Everybody Loves Coupons because who doesn’t love a coupon?
