Sent from reader, Lisa:

When I saw this, I immediately thought of all my friends at Hip2Save and I had to share it with you.

When I came home from work today, I found a note my 8-year-old son left me on the counter. It reads “I finish the coupons. I am happy I can help. Austin” On top of the note, he placed all the coupons he cut out that I had printed the day before. I have never asked him to cut the coupons for me because I never thought he was aware of all my couponing (he has disabilities). It just melted my heart he was “hape to help”, and of course it is for something I just love to do….Couponing!!!

Thank you for letting me share this with you! I thought this was the sweetest thing ever.

HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

    This is so wonderful. So glad that he knew he could help out. I certainly need an Austin in my household- my coupons lay on my printer for days, and sometimes I don’t have them at t entire because of that!
