Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I was never like the people on that show, but when I lived in CA, I had a good shopping trip. There was one day a week that Ralph's had double coupons up to $1. You could use a manufac. coup with the Ralphs coups in the paper. I received $83 of cereal, frozen stuff, toothpastes etc. and the clerk gave me 8 cents. You are not supposed to get money back, but she couldn't get it to 0, so she just gave me the 8 cents. It was pretty cool!
Pretty darn good grocery trip.I have alway's clipped coupon's but never been extreme with them.Some coupon's aren't worth it to buy name brand product's to get the .25 off, if something just as good is $1.50 cheaper.
She could have at least rounded you up to a dime.Smilie

I haven't seen that show yet but they sound like food hoarder's.I never have understood how all that with the coupon's work.Only way I can figure it to work is if the store is taking coupon's for thing's you didn't buy.Dontknow
The people on that show give couponers a bad name. I haven't watched it, and probably won't, because coupon forums are freaking over the show, saying it essentially promotes coupon fraud. If I watched it, I'd probably be yelling at the TV by the end of the show (like the MORON on the Ed Shultz show last night that said that "justice wasn't served by killing OBL, we should have captured and tried him". Military action, AQ declared war on us, Justified Action, justice was done. I'm liberal/libertarian (small "l", not "L", big difference), but that woman was a complete pie-in-the-sky nutcase.)

We follow all the rules of the coupons and store policies (but getting the stores to follow their own policies posted online can be frustrating), but those that don't make it hard for those of us that do.

My wife and I enjoy deal finding. It's fun, and a stress reliever for us. Which is why we often "buy" things we'd never use (like dog food). But we only buy it if we know of someone that can use it. Free dog food is harder to find these days, but I used to be able to "buy" hundreds of dollars of it quarterly and drop it off at the Humane Society.

We both love shopping - me more than her (yeah, I know, abnormal man response) - she even loves holiday shopping crowds. One of my Sat shopping trips ran 17-18 hours long, and I didn't get to everything before the stores closed, my wife was finally beat and needed to sleep.

Quote from jawartman :
you need to have store coupons then also manufacture coupons at the the same time for each item.
Now adays with computer cash registers you can not get by with giving them coupons for things you did not buy
And having multiple computers for bricks printable coupons is virtually necessary - there's a reason I keep all my old computers. I have a closet in our "office" with them racked up on shelves, I fire all of them up for the really good deals (like the occasional WAGs deal where a printable makes something free AND it prints a Catalina - one weekend trip to Destin I hit every WAG at home and on the way there, and spent zero OOP and finished with over $600 in Catalinas - the end of the rollovers on that is what got me the Sony BR player for $10-11).

Awesome, congrats! Wonder if anyone has won more than $20 yet! Haven't heard of anyone. I am happy with my $20. But hope someone here wins something bigger!

I have alway's enjoyed shopping for groceries and product's more than going clothes shopping.Never for that many hour's..laugh out loudMy dad is a pretty good grocery shopper.My mom alway's stick's with the main item's for dinner's for the week and my dad is more of a stock up person (not extreme) and not to mention he also bought more snack and sweet stuff,so we loved when are dad went shopping.
