Same thing here Teri. I got tons of diapers for my 2 cousins during the Pampers deal. I kept giving them at each family function throughout the summer. At the July 4th picnic, my aunt says to me "I'd like to place an order. Jen (my cousin) would like some pull-ups, size 5)." I laughed at the time and said ok. I got them for her and dropped them off at my aunt's house one Sunday. She wasn't home so I left them on the porch. I expected a phone call or an email at least to say Thank you. Nope. Nothin, nada, zilch! That was the last pack of diapers I bought.
It never ceases to amaze me how rude some people can be. Good for you for not getting another pack of diapers!!

Quote from lisapdreamer :
Just remember, you can lead a shopper to coupons, but you cannot make them clip! laugh out loud
That is HILARIOUS!!

Quote from teri037 :
I'm lucky in that my work peeps think it's cool. They all think I should give classes (that would never happen). I take them goodies all the time and leave on their desks. Last week they got pop tarts and rice crispy treats. In turn, they bring me inserts. They will never do this on the level that I do, but when they do use a coupon, they come running to tell me.

On a different note, one of my grocery stores is having a bogo on TGIF next week. It will make for 1.17 overage on each q. I am so hoping they will give the overage on an IP.

Here's hoping DS is doing Great at her sale today!
Mine, too. I have a friend that just got into it and was SO excited to do a grocery BOGO....but no coupons. She said, "I saved so much." I was excited for her, but inside I was thinking....Coupons, baby, coupons! Amature.
Ariel......they just don't understand. Don't listen to them. I just wouldn't share info with them anymore.
I stopped telling my mother about it cause she'd just laugh or tune me out. BUT.....can't tell you how many times she's been here complainingthat she doesn't have any money and how she needs to stop at the store for: tylenol, batteries, you name it. I'll go to my stash and give it to her. (SO much tylenol and excederin from CVS last year) She'll say, "Thanks." but it's kind of forced. Oh well.....now when she'll ask "any good deals this week" I'll say "nope." (as I'm trying to find a home to my 50 boxes of RKT, 10 boxes of pop tarts and too many boxes of special k bars)

I go through the same thing too Ariel. We are a rare breed laugh out loud Most people don't want to invest the time...I tried to teach my sis, neices, etc. They don't want to take the time to do it, they just want me to tell them when there is a good deal. At first I did, but I don't anymore. Now, when they say "why didn't you tell me about....", I just say, you can find the same info I can...'feed a man fish and he eats one meal, teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime..' I took them all shopping, showed them how to read q's, and told them about my q sites..now it's up to them.

hug don't pout, just remind yourself of all the great things you've been able to do with coupons and saving money - and you have SF talent too Wink something those ladies probably wouldn't have half a brain for laugh out loud

My sister and her b/f made fun of me at first when I found SD this summer. Took her to CVS with me this last week and she was impressed when I got her a bunch of CG lip stuff for free Yahoo! She even asked me if I could get a deal on a certain product yesterday! I'd rather help her out in spurts and have her think it's cool, than her try to join in and out do me (like she always does! laugh out loud )
Quote from Devilmomma :
Nice post Kopenny! Ariel, keep your head up and remember the tons of money you are saving for your family and all the extras you are able to get because of couponing and SD'ing. The joke is on them!

Quote from Katwoman99 :
Well said Devilmomma - Ariel you should be proud of how much money you save for your family- the joke is on them. I have a friend who I have tried to get "hooked" and when I tell her a deal that is going on she just laughs. I think she thinks it's just a .50 game of saving a little here or there (and that it doesn't amount to anything). My husband even tried to tell her once how it's made a huge dent in out monthly credit card bill. I really don't think some people get it. I think you have to do it to get it.

WOW!!! You all are soo supportive Grouphug I honestly feel better!!! Thanks Before my shift was over one of them sat down and wanted me to show her SF stuff and I politely said that I wasn't going to be sharing anything more about deals bc of how they all handle it. She then told me that she is actually jealous of me and wishes she could understand how to do this all. (I have explained it all before) I was shocked! I never thought that they could be honestly jealous, just thought they were thinking I was Crazy

I just spit out my tea. Thanks for that laugh.

I can't make you a sandwich, but I have wheat thins, kraft cheese and salad dressing. I guess I could make you a cracker sandwich and a rice krispy treat. Oh, and some crystal light to drink. Will that work?

My neighbor came over with some hockey stuff his kids have outgrown. DS is just getting into hockey, so he will LOVE it. They had it all in a plastic bin. I emptied it out so I could bring the bin back, and loaded up the bin with PopTarts, Rice Krispie Treats, and some spaghetti from a Mejier deal a while back. The lady laughed at me and said I didn't have to, but I told her it was all basically free and I needed to get rid of some of it anyway because we couldn't eat that many PopTarts laugh out loud

I love to be able to have things around that I can do that with. When someone would give me something before, I was always appreciative, but now I can usually give something back since I started doing the deals.

My family thinks I am crazy, and I am sure they laugh at me when I am not around, but let me tell you, they LOVE getting the goods from the deals. I usually load up MIL, and then I usually tell SIL how to do the deals I think she will 1 use. My mom is on here and started doing her own, and she then loads up my other SIL who lives by her.

Forgot to tell y'all... if your stores are getting picky about taking IPs, I found a $2 peelie for TGIF on the BIG packs at Target. This Target is a super T wannabe, has the freezers but not the produce or meat. It's a bright pink peelie.

I started doing the rebates on the Kelloggs stuff but stupid me mixed all the boxes and now can't figure out which boxes goes to which receipt.Confused Based on my first receipt, I know that the smores ones are 071200169 as they were the only ones I saw the first time I did the deal... But I now have found some of the cinnamon sugar, strawberry and cherry from yesterday's run... if anyone will be kind enough to tell me the numbers for those, I will be very thankful.... TIA Smilie

Ariel, they think I am crazy at work too. I gave a coworker the tearpad of Krafts and wrote out what to do...We even had BOGO on the hotdogs, so she would have gotten twice the items. She left them in her locker. WTF!! I could have given them to one of my internet friends is all I was thinking. When I got all those Luvs and then the Pampers they wanted me to give them for free...I told them HELL NO!!!...$5pk for Luvs and $1.50 for the huggies, $3.00 pampers wipes and the Pampers diapers are for me...So now they know to see me on payday if they want anything. I had to tell them I am paying for school out of pocket and this is my part-time job. On top of me having a full time job.. I just stop tellin them. I work at the grocery store, so everytime I work they see me with my little black coupon box and ask what good deals am I a getting. I say none really.. Evillaugh

I have even made friends with the coke, pepsi, and nabisco vendors...They give me coupons and tearpads when they get them...bounce

I dropped my black berry and my cell phone in water (at different times). My cell worked but the screen went out. I took it in, and they replaced it for free because it was still under warranty. They didn't ask what happened to it, and I didn't tell. My black berry was basically dead, and it was from work, so work replaced it. There was nothing I could do to get it to work.
