It is good to know there are people like me out there (couponing wise) I would like to know if there is a club or a few people around me in the Sugar Land TX area that would like to be buddies? I havent even checked if there is a section in HCW for that but I will.

To tell the truth, my DH is my biggest supporter. His first question when we need something, "Now, honey, how can we get it free?" Can't you tell the man hates to spend more than absolutely necessarily? He is not above sitting down and figuring deals for Wags (he is even better at Wags deals than I am, but CVS, Kroger, Albies and other stores are my kick.) It really helps when your LO supports your hobby and way of life....

I had a very different experience with the coupon buddy system. I would go with the woman who taught me the...

Thanks I sure hope so. I know alot of people in this group have been doing this for years and I just started. I really think I have really gone way out and above on getting the deals. But this month I only want the deals and not much out the pcket.

My BFF moved 9 hours away and I do miss her so much.When we do get a chance to visit,one complete day is set aside for shopping.We start by getting Dunken Donuts large coffees and head off with our lists and coupons. We hit all the stores and even a couple thrift shops for fun.We stop and reward ourselves with lunch and then back to more shopping usually until the sun goes down or the car can't hold anymore whichever comes first. I sure...

My sis says that her husband wouldn't like the mess that couponing makes. I have them all over the table, my couch, etc... b/c i am usually working on a new trade every day, plus rebates, plus laying out my shopping trips, etc... I told her that she doesn't have to have all the coupons out- I am just scatterbrained and it works better for me. U,mmm let's see-- saving money or messing up my kitchen table- I am cheap enough that i...

You can introduce it to them, but you can't force it on them. They have to be open to it themselves, and some people never will be. beautiful analogy!
