Happy Friday: Announcing Baby With a Coupon!
Sent from reader, Christine:
I’m pregnant with baby #4 and well I always like to tell our family in a unique and creative way! I’m the couponer of the family and I thought what better way to tell our parents than with a COUPON! I’m 9 weeks and due in August! Happy Friday!

oh wait not colin!! oops sorry
Its from a user, Collin’s not pregnant
LOL! 😀
oops and i spelled your name wrong!!! sorry i hate when people spell mine with an E – blonde moment here!
LMBO! This was so funny, I thought the same thing cause I saw a thumbnail from facebook and clicked the link! LOL.
Congratulations Christine what a cute and creative idea!
LOL I thought it was Collin, too.
Sooo cute but I thought it was Collin too until I read it a 2nd time!!
That is a really clever idea for a couponer. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Huge congratulations on your pregnancy!
thanks!!! : )
Congrats!!
Congrats!!
Adorable and super clever! Congrats to you and your hubby!
I saw this on Facebook and totally thought Collin was making a creative pregnancy announcement! Congrats to the reader 🙂
Love! Love! Love! I’m due in mid August….I may have to steal this in a few weeks. (5 miscarriages so we wait awhile) 🙂
I am so happy for you, Mo. Take it easy and dont lose hope! I had 4 miscarriages before I had my wonderful son Draco who is now 6 years old.
Aw. I hope your pregnancy goes well and everything turns out all right. We have tried to have a baby for over three years with no luck.
So did we, but right before I was supposed to start fertility shots I got pregnant. I took a vacation that same month. I had a really stressful job, and I think I just needed time to relax and slow down. I was shocked when I realized I was pregnant!
Thanks Ladies! And that wasn’t meant as a complaint…we have 2 beautiful boys, we just have more false starts than most and I hate the “untelling” part 🙂 BTW, mom, if your reading this (she’s a H2Ser too) act surprised! 🙂
It took us 3 years for #1 too. Don’t lose hope and don’t let it take over your life (easier said than done, I know!!!)
So cute! And congrats!
Now that is really creative and cute. What a great idea! Congratulations Madrigals!
thank you! : )
Congrats! I too am pregnant with #4 due Aug 4th:)
that is my sons bday!!!
just in time for school cut of!!!
I had my #4 on August 1st 2009- it’s a great month for #4 to arrive! Congratulations & good luck!
This is so awesome! I’m preggers with baby #4 and it’s due August 5th!
yay for babies! congrats ladies!
On Facebook it totally looks like Collin is announcing her own pregnancy!
I thought that as well until I read it. lol
Great idea! Congratulations!! I am also 9 weeks and due August 29th! Hooray for summer babies!! 🙂
Congrats! That’s my birthday 🙂
Congrats, that’s my sisters bday!!!
thats my birthday too!
I thought it was Collin too!
So cute. I wish I would have thought of this for my last pregnancy. My son is now 14 months though. This would have been a perfect way to announce it. I did a balloon thing instead though. SInce it was my 3rd and believe me LAST baby, oh well. LOL. Congratulation Christine
Congrats! Thought it was Collin… LOL
Congrats to Christine and family!
My birthday is Aug. 27th. Great day! Congrats.. Madrigals!
congrats! Im pregnant with #3 yet not many know yet I’m due sept 27th! This is cute! Still looking for the way we will announce it 🙂
I thought it was Collin too!
Awesome idea! Congrats!
That’s my due date too! So fun!!!
that is so stinking darling! congratulations to the reader!
I thought that it was Collin too…. My 4 th and last baby was born Aug. 25 2009. Congrates to Christine!
Congrats Christine, and family! And yes, I too thought it was you Collin. 🙂
Congrats Christine. Such a great way to announce. Will do something similar for my 2nd baby announcement.
P.S. This is something totally off topic. Can anyone please help me with this question. I have $1.50/5 yoplait greek yogurt coupon and Tops has them 10/$10 this week. Tops store doubles 4 like coupons upto $0.99. How can I use the $1.50/5 to buy 5 of them. I am not that good at math and I’m really confused how it doubles. Thank you in advance. I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately the coupon will not double since they only double coupons with a value of UP TO .99. You do not have to buy 10 to get the sale (unless it specifies that) so you will be paying $3.50 after coupon, or .70/each. Hope this helps! 🙂
Thank you so much, Nicole. I really appreciate your help. This is my 2nd week shopping at Tops and never used a coupon like this before anywhere 🙂
It doesn’t double. Tops will only double coupons that are less than 1.00. If it is over $1.00 you only get the face value of the coupon, in this case $1.50. I took advantage of this deal at Tops yesterday. I bought 5 for 5$ and used the $1.50 off coupon making the yogurts $3.50 or $.70 apiece
Thank you so much, Sarah. I really appreciate your help. This is my 2nd week shopping at Tops and never used a coupon like this before anywhere 🙂
No problem. Tops can have some really good deals. I can usually save at least 50% off my bill when I shop there, plus the gas points are a nice bonus. Good Luck! Are you in WNY???
Alla – first, do you have to buy 10 for the 10/$10 to be activated? If not, then buy 5, and they will add another $1.50 to double your coupon for $3 total off of $5 for the yogurt – so you’d end up paying $2 for 5 yogurts total. Make sense?
oops! sorry for my bad advice!
Thank you so much, Stefanie. It’s ok. It’s not a bad advice, I consider it a help. I’m gonna go gorcery shopping tonight and will give this a try. I appreciate your help 🙂
Congrats Christine.. what a fun way to announce you’re expecting to your family….Oh and just so you all know.. I was reading responses..and some how missed Alla asking about a ‘ REAL’ coupon issue..and when Nicole and Sarah starting talking about ‘it will not double’..and such..I was like ” I thought you were meaning Christines baby coupon not doubling.. haha.. too funny.. then I went back up and reread Alla’s comment .. sorry.. ‘slow blonde at the computer here’.
wow, Congratulations Collin! What a wonderful announcement! Wishing you all the health and joy of pregnancy!
Congrats!!! Super Super CUTE idea!!! I LOVE it!!!
That is so cute! I did a “ticket” announcement for my son’s graduation party!
Super cute idea & Congrats! Hope all goes well to all you pregos out there 🙂
SO clever. I love this idea. 🙂
LOve it…. Mmmwaaahh to the baby…. The baby is gonna be super creative too…. Congrats!!!
Congrats!! We are pregnant with Baby #2 and due on the same day! 🙂
