Hi Everyone! I have hundreds of coupons that I would be interested in trading with people but I dont know where to post them. Seems like it would take up alot of room on the board. Please if anyone is interested email me at [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] and I will send you the list of what I have. I probably have more than one of each coupon. I hope to hear from someone. I hate to throw these all out.

Whoever was wanting a copy of Ca$h-in. I have a copy. I just had to reinstall it and it works with XP. It is in a zip file so send me your email address and I will email it to you. The people that wrote the program doesn't post it anymore. They still run the web page savesyou.com.

Thanks so much for the list verwon! I'm fairly new to all this and really feeling lost sometimes trying to figure out what different posters mean. This is a BIG help!

[Crazy~Feet]

I use tons of abbreviations and might use a few that are unfamiliar; if anybody needs clarification I'd be happy to have any unfamiliar ones merged with the OP .

BUT I know it will literally pay off.

I wish I could stick to only buying things on sale and with a coupon........but I guess I have to get a good stockpile going first to build off of.

We'll all be coupon commandos.....never paying retail again
I am still shocked at how much money that can be saved. I am a stay at home mom and saving money is a big priority, so I am really getting into this

Thanks again for all the tips and download info

We all have our reasons for saving money! I am a newbie too. For me I found it easier to put my coupons in a small coupon organizer. I tried checking out the ads, but it takes too much time. I shop regularly at Kroger and for two visits have pulled blinkies! Then I got extra papers and cut coupons. I used the theory that each week I would stock up on items we use and can use, just a few at a time. Yesterday I bought rice and pasta rice a roni... 14 boxes and 8 bags of rice. I got them on sale and with coupons it was a steal. I also needed butter, and had collected a lot of Land o Lakes coupons, that item was on sale too so I bought as many as I could. That is my tactic.

Kroger doesn't give me grief on coupons I print, but they don't double any either??? If I have a coupon that I can't use, I write the company an email or a letter.... they send a shiny one back to me!

As for abbreviations? I can hardly remember yesterday, I should print them out!

And coupon swap? That sounds time consuming, how do the coupon trains work out? I think I would like that since I have lots of good coupons that I will never use ( a true blonde LOL).

Keep at it, and maybe your SAHB (stay at home buss.) can be done storing items in your trunk? or you could buy a trunk at Wally World - and stack them up to the ceiling.

Best of luck

I save a ton of money at walmart. Granted they are non union and take the little guys under but I am a realist and this is how I get back at the man.........I also can tell you how to talk your creditors down

I do a grocery coupon search if it is a specific item I need. For instance I needed cat food yesterday and did a search I found a two dollar off coupon from Safeway for whiskas I printed it and saved two bucks.

Be sure to bring the store coupon policy. I have had to show it every time I shop.

Also I do a search for weekly shopping in store adds be it Texas, California, where ever I compare prices and print the lowest as long as walmart has the brand they honor the coupon. I get tons of buy one get one and 10 for 10. Anyway I thought I would just share this. They also do price match on everything else too.

Any way guys I sit and think of way to save cash all the time if you are interested give me your grocery list and I will see what I can do.....

Peace and Love from my adhd self,


here is a tidbit more:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] you have to do a bit of searching but I think there are 250 grocery stores on this page. Safeway, fredmeyer, albertsons, always has great deals and weekly special. Also [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]
I sometimes will do a search like I needed paper towels so I did a search for paper towels, coupons. It brings up quite a few sites. I was thinking about posting ones that are a great savings.
I need olive oil so I did a search but I just got the weekly safeway add and found buy one get one free star olive oil this gives you a 9.59 savings.
Also I needed some Ragu spaghetti sauce I have a 55 cent coupon and found a buy one get one free from the safeway add so I save a bunch and get a freebie at that. Good luck!!
Anyway let me know if you need some help every little bit adds up. I am addicted to saving money!!! Have a great day!!
