![5 Things Successful People Do Before 8AM [FULL MESSAGE] | Terri Savelle Foy](/img/n.gif)
I guess I coupon differently. Because I only stock pile things we actually need & use. Soap, shampoo/conditioner, toilet paper. But once I have a good amount I just stop. My last stock pile lasted me 8 months.
That's what I do too if I don't need it even if its a steal im not getting it and the clutter i can't do
I learned how to coupon to save money for our family living on one income.. but I noticed after 2 weeks, I had become addicted to shopping!!! Not a good thing.. defeats my purpose for saving money.. I know how you feel :)
Kiya that's the purpose of businesses putting out coupons
I think you made some very valid points! I have always couponed, and went to the next level and sort of came to the place you described. I took a break and I donated a bunch of things to relatives and others. It felt great too! Reminded me why I started out couponing- to save $ and help my family and others!
To all you ladies and women out there that are trying to give up on couponing because you don't need your stuff getting too large of stockpile don't give up let's not forget about those ones out there in need start donating make gift baskets give to charity come on ladys we can do it .. There's lots of families out there that can use the things that we get such great deals on stop and think for a second why did we want to become couponers why did we want to start a style why can we not give half of our files or deals to charity to families in need families that can't afford what we're getting for next to nothing we gotta love America.....
+Kk Brown great message!! So true!
;*)
I was a out to say the same thing they can give it to the church and homless
If couponing is starting to interfere with other aspects of your life to the point that it's becoming an addiction, then it's time to stop. If you don't need it, don't have the room for it, then don't get it. Don't use the excuse of "stock piling to help others" as a way to feed your continuous need for couponing.
Dirtnap1986 I wouldn't see a problem with it they actually helped people
I'm just learning how to coupon. 2 weeks ago. We're a DINK household. Full time middle-class middle-aged working couple. I do it to save $$$. I only pick& choose the items we NEED like paper towels, garbage bag liners, etc.I don't clean out the store either.. 😃🌼😃🤣
I'm tickled with this technique. I do BELIEVE in 'play money' now. Of course if you don't do it in moderation, you'll get ADDICTED. Happy couponing everybody!
That's great to hear! That's the way to do it :)
time consuming..sometimes buy more than you need and end up spending more money..that was true for me at least....
good points ;)
Welcome back, I missed your videos! So happy your life is moving right along!! Congrats on all thats gone on including having a baby!!
+coinslider thanks so much!
welcome back! I stayed subscribed to your channel. I understand how you feel towards the expense of couponing and the time it takes to organize and plan shopping trips. these pharmacies have become strict on coupons and sometimes I just say forget it and not even worry about a sale. a lot of the old school couponers have gone from TH-cam to do other things. at this point, companies are checking blogs and catching on to the deals. they watch videos and see how ppl are working these deals and then we see a decrease in coupon values, shorter expiration dates and limits on like items in a transaction. even with my two newspapers a week, I have a nice stockpile. I mainly grocery shop and follow my weekly grocery ads. thanks to the extreme couponing show, couponing won't be the same. I've been couponing since 2010. I started before I went to college and racked up on personal care items. once in college I stopped couponing but started back in 2014 but now I have limits. I'm not buying shampoo and conditioner every week even if it's free, in my area free or not, tax must be paid. tax is money. if I become repetitive in my shopping, I'm not saving if I'm buying the same stuff every week. congrats on your addition to your family. can't wait to see your plans for your channel.
+buttrpecan9 Wow you have some great insight!! Thanks so much for your support!
buttrpecan9 I agree with everything you said. I was just thinking of all my old subscriptions and where they are now. I think Greg is still going strong all of my others are gone.
HowToExtremeCoupon glad to see you back.
wow had no idea that companies were looking into blogs and stuff! that's crazy. thanks for commenting :)
I value your reasonable approach in regards to using coupons. Since I consider you a pro at using coupons, I am encouraged by your judicious and modest declination regarding the use of them . Similar to how you used to do, I tend to go to the store daily because I have a coupon. I have recently decided to try to use one day out of the month to purchase all of my household items and only use my coupons at that time only. I realize that it will be hard, but in the long run, I will not be at the store every day buying something because I have a coupon. Lastly I love that you continue to educate viewers on couponing by giving them a break down of the stores with good deals for the week, thanks for that and I will keep the tips you offer in mind.
+sael on thanks so much for commenting :) I hope the once a month works for you!
Congrats on your little one 😊. I go through cycles--I concentrate on couponing when I have time or need to replenish my shelves, but I can't keep on it all the time--very overwhelming. 😳 thanks for sharing your story with us! 😃
+AKATheMrs Thanks for the support ;) I am glad other people go through that too!
I'm glad you're back! I've missed your videos.
+kelibeli6 thanks so much :) we have missed it too
Couponing has changed so much over the years as well. Lower coupon values, store policy changes, etc.
+jjbenna I agree! Totally something I didn't even mention!
I agree with you because you still have to soend on newspapers and I only do digital coupon for what I need for the week..
+Linda alay that's a great idea! That will work great!
Very nice update and appreciate the honesty. I still coupon a little but can go a month without visiting the drug store because the deals just aren't that good anymore! It's too much work to clip and file all the coupons and like you I've had a baby so want to do other things with my time. Best wishes!
+Melissa Kitto thanks Melissa!! I agree it's tough for all that work
Definitely some good points. I'm glad you're back!I'll be making a response video soon because I too feel the same.
+AverageJoeCouponing Yay good to hear ;)
I am just starting to coupon. I live outside of Dallas and I get my coupons from the Dollar Tree. They have all the coupon inserts in them. They also sell the sunday news papers that whole week, so if you don't get it on sunday, you can still get them. You can also look online to see what coupons are coming out that sunday to see if it is worth buying. But if I am only spending a dollar on each set of inserts, I really only have to use one 1$ coupon to pay off that paper.
good to know thanks!
I had a similar situation about a year ago. Now I have restructured my approach. I now coupon primarily at Shoprite, and CVS where my out of pocket is a few cents. Now I only get stuff if it's free, or if the overage will cover it. This keeps my stock pile just at the size I need it at, and keeping my cost minimal.
+Michelle Rekuc great idea!! That's a good approach
I missed you so much. I stopped couponing as well. Recently I lost my job and decided to coupon again but not in such big levels as before.
+belluhfaut I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm glad you are doing it a different level. I'm sure you will like it more now.
I never unsubscribed to the channel, I was hoping one day you'd return! Congrats on the baby! Becoming a mother is the greatest thing, imo, that you can do! I hate that couponing stopped being fun for you anymore, but I honestly believe you made the right choice! You don't need to stay stressed over something like that! I stopped filming my TH-cam channel when I had my little girl 7 years ago, although at times I'd still post things here and there. I'm hoping to get back into it soon though.
I can't wait to see what you do with the channel now, and I'm definitely going to check out your other channel!!
+BrannRay and Alyssa Thanks so much :) I hope you do videos again !
I slowed down a lot now, I only qpon for free or money maker items. I only get the things I need. I do give some away to family and friends.
Great! That's the way to do it :)
I do the same but those freebies and money makers can be just as time consuming. Not worth it anymore. It better to just become minimal.
I buy newspapers at the Dollar Tree but not on a weekly basis. I try to stock up if I am really in need of it and sometimes I do pass up on some deals.
+Josie Dela Cruz - Perez oh wow didn't know that they have newspapers
Great video. We have a Couponing deal on the Sunday or Sunday/Wednesday paper... but eventually you have to save enough to make it worth it. I appreciate this video. I am prepping for Zombies, so I Love stockpiling great deals that just fall into my lap. I try to help people by letting them know the best ones... but don't make it a MUST!. Life is Excellent!
See that's great that it works for you and that you are stockpiling :)
I watched a couple of videos from a different 'SuperCouponer'. She was so Rude about cashiers and managers and workers in the store,,,, in her videos... I actually left a comment about it. She and her minions (because she said she hired people to help her get these 'great coupon deals') are the reason why cashiers and manager staff do not want to deal with any coupons. Sad but true.
I will always strive to be Charitable, Congenial, and Respectful to the staff of any store. Especially if they are that way with me. The 'Public' is not easy to deal with. You have talent and Knowledge. Please don't let it stop. :D
great for you to hold those principals ;)
THIS I understand. I love couponing, but I took a 2-year break from it because I got burnt out. If it's not fun, it's time to stop or dial it back.
Thank you for putting this out there.. I would love to be a super couponer.. my problem is I can’t find coupons for items I need.. milk, bread, vegetables,,eggs ,flour.. you just don’t find these kind of coupons anymore..
You use the savings from couponig to buy your food items.
I understand greatly! I just started back a few months ago. I recently moved and didn't bring my stockpile. So, kind of like starting over with my stockpile.
+Nikki theuniqueone thanks Nikki for the comment! I'm glad you understand!
We also have here in Hk coupon from the news paper and sometimes from the scratch card after you buy from the groceries or even in Mcdonald they will give you this so many discount stub so that you will comeback and buy more but I don't actually use all of those coupon esp if I don't need the item I found out that I will spending more money than saving.
ya it's tough if you don't use them!
Can't wait to see what you do next! With the new baby, I can see how she would take up a lot of your time. Congrats!
+lena7623 Thanks so much for your support! I have lots planned for the channel ;)
exactly!!! that's why i slowed down alot on couponing, not completely stopping loo but very slow!! congrats on the little one!! that's great!!
+Quanyin everyday Thanks so much for the support ;) I am glad you slowed down too!
I started January 7th i live in Arlington & since then I was going crazy buying 15+ inserts each week & i just stopped and slowed down this past week we are a family of 3 our son just turned one & i have so many lotions,shampoos,detergents,toothpaste etc...me & my husband were having problems because of my couponing he said i was addicted and so i decided to limit myself to 4 coupons of each inserts & ill only be couponing when RP,SS & P&G come out.
At first i was so mad at him but i realized he was right he told me i need to wait till i finish 75% of my stockpile & then go out and get more cause alot of stuff will go to waste.
+RubyMariana yeah couponing can consume all your free time and energy if you let it!
Thank you for this video, I have been using coupons since my son was born 25 years ago, but have never been interested in extreme couponing. It is uncommon for me to get coupons for my most common purchases and I don't want to switch or buy things that I know will not be used. Add to these things the cost of newspapers that rarely have coupons I can use and it is just not worth it. I use a couple of free digital coupon apps and they work for me.
That's awesome! Good for you! 25 years is a long time to be so committed
I can relate I have changed the way I do things myself over the last few years. We adopted 2 1/2 years ago and our lives changed completely I used to go early on Sunday to coupon at CVS and get my video up but I no longer can do that. MH newspaper prices also went up to $3 each so I now buy just 2 papers each week then date and file the inserts instead of clipping them all. I also mainly just coupon at CVS and publix which I only do videos for CVS but even with only buying 2 papers I still get alot of deals and mostly won't get anything like shampoo, body wash etc unless it's free or pennies on the dollar. Congrats on the new addition. to your family looking forward to your videos.
+BathandBeautyFreak thanks so much for understanding and congratulations on your adoption!
Thank you!
I'm near Kansas City and the papers are $3.00 each here it got to the point where I was spending more on papers then I was saving using coupons and I was always tired on Sunday. From getting up early to go buy papers and then going to the store where I was exhausted and needed a nap after I got home just to recover. I was trying to save money to help pay off some debt but I wasn't using half of the coupons in the paper and I felt like I was going more into debt from just trying to save a couple of dollars. Plus I don't have many stores near me we have a cvs,Walmart and a couple of local grocery stores and that's it the bigger cities that have more stores near me are 20-50 miles away so I would be spending more money on gas then anything else. I'm so glad I saw your video it makes me realize that I'm not the only one that has done this.
+Jayhawkgirl thanks for commenting about that! You see what I was going through! I hope you don't have to feel like you have to continue if it doesn't work for you
I will continue to coupon I have to save for my family well I shop for four family members and its a great thing the compitition not so much. I know the cost of getting coupons and all the supplies are expensive but if you do like I do my niece works at a hospital she gets free papers means free coupons, another member works somewhere else I get free printer paper and ink, so it works when other pitch in. Thanks for sharing.
+MILLYNWILL wow that's great to hear! Family effort :)
I agree I am taking care of my family by couponing and stocking up on items we will use all the time or eventually use. I am stationed over seas and we have support groups that send boxes upon boxes of coupons every month, so it's great not having to pay or scavenge for papers.
that's great to hear!
can you still extreme coupon like before and get super duper deals for cheap?
It looks like couponing was work for you from the beginning, instructing the world on how to coupon and where to find all the deals. I can see how it could of become overwhelming while doing your own thing.
+Tony T thanks for understanding. I do love sharing how to show people! That's what I love and try to still do
I definitely agree with your decisions to quit couponing. I have began being more strict about what I purchase. Do I really need this item? Would I purchase this at full price? I have to remind myself that there's a difference between almost free and actually free. It almost never the latter. One has to spend something in order to get a deal and that initially expenditure is what adds up over time.
+darkangel15221 that's a great way to look at it! I like those qualifying questions :)
I just do Dollar tree and Walmart and I'm good! No coupons needed. Clearance rack and store closeouts are good also.
I've seen videos and pictures on Facebook pages people have a whole stacked of stuff..I'm new to couponing and I decide to Coupon only if I need it.
+Ana Flores that's a great idea! Good luck
I only coupon for the things I need to survive. I coupon once a month and I buy clearance items at their rock bottom price. I shop at Walmart and Costco.
TFS because I was thinking about it, but didn't know it could become like an addiction. And I'm definitely not trying to work that hard to save money on items I wouldn't need and won't even use and last don't have space for Congratulations on the baby and a better life without couponing.
I have an all in personality so maybe if you don't then you wouldn't be so consumed by it! Thanks so much ;)
+HowToExtremeCoupon ♡
One of my family members did extreme couponing a few days before Christmas and then gave each of us some of the stuff they didn't use. We thought that was a great idea! Plus there are a lot of families here in town who need help.
+Keonna Hunt I did that too for Christmas in years past! People loved it but wasn't the most fun gift lol
The best place for xmas is this site www.hollar.com/share/3ca382 you can get really awesome cool stuff for super cheap beats any store plus get free shipping and $2 off. I was able to send my little cousin out of state $30 of tons of toys shipped free. Plus they have everyday house stuff as well beats any dollar store and they have coupons. I did it for xmas and my family loved it and are doing it now too so now I have to look for another site for xmas gifts lol
I got scared one time when something happened to me at a store with coupons. I kinda was told to cease and desist; not worth getting the cops called on us because there's misunderstanding about them.
+mashroob wow that is scary!!
i think its knowing when to buy certain items and learning what the best price point is. i will always coupon bc it is a huge money saver no matter what other expenses you add in to get the coupons and the products. as far as competition.. screw the people that feel like they have something to prove... im gonna be over here supplying my family and friends with all this great stuff. :) we dont live in a double couponing state but we do live in a true bogo state so that helps. i dont have the space for stockpile either, but i make it work lol with 3 kids, i have to xD sucks you stopped but personally, the savings is huge and worth it. time spent in the store is worth it, i even do it with my kids and they are learning the value of effort time and money.
+HeyMichi that's great that it works for you! Hopefully when my little one is older I will do it again. For it's too hard to coupon and do videos in conjunction and would rather just do videos!
I too stopped couponing. it is a lot of work. I've thought about going back, but I think about how my Sunday's are usually booked up because of it and I think nawwwww.
Exactly!!! Couponing took over my weekends!
nice to see someone being really about all of this
glad you liked the video.
Yep the paper here in the DFW is $2.50 but dollar tree has them for a $1.
good to know!!
I coupon to SAVE money . I SAVE a lot of money , also having an ' extended pantry' with supplies is very important in this 'day and age' . We have had to depend on our stock pile - (extended pantry) way too many times , NOT to have it .
It is our 'insurance' just as health , life , car insurance is . I go one time a week for my shopping deals ,that are well planned .
I feel as though you took on to much sweetie , that wasn't necessary. GOD BLESS .
datcreolechick here in San Antonio cost $4, two monts ago was $2 :(
datcreolechick girl at dollar general they have them for $1 i live in arlington i didn't know dollar tree sold newspaper
Our dollar has %0 cent papers in Tampa..2017
I agree that it can become an addiction problem. I wouldn't say stop entirely though. you can control yourself enough to only shop on for example on Sundays only. also, I wouldn't suggest even purchasing the Sunday news paper. I get inserts for free. the neighbors and some places I go to will allow me to have the coupon inserts. if you do it in moderation. it's good
That's a great way to do it Elizabeth!
I love couponing & have no plans to quit. I do not "extreme" coupon. I buy one paper, unless, I find out there are many many good coupons and I might buy one off the street. And, I print out coupons. But that's my only investment. Restraint is key!
+Spare Change great ways to keep restrained :)
totally agree ... couponing is the hardest work I ever tried haha lol... it takes a lot of time and of curse you end buying things that you don't need .. I kind of thinking to stop doing it for a while until I need something , fortunately I have a friend who sells the coupon books and I can get all of them for one dollar instead of getting them for 2.50 but yea is stressful too... and by the way congratulations for your baby a hard work too .. haha .. lol..
oh that's an awesome deal ;) thanks so much!
I coupon in spurts. I will be all intensive for 4 months then realize I have enough to last forever. I take a break for a year and a half or so. When I run out it's time to hit it again. It CAN consume you if you are an OCD & addictive personality...but then again I have tried to teach people who are not OCD/addictive and they never make it.
+Deborah H. 4 months probably lasts a while of stockpiling.
I just started couponing and it kind of sucks because I don't get as good of a deal as other people cause I'm so picky with what I buy. I am all about paper products and household items. These are the more expensive deals. I mean getting toilet paper for $3 is great but it's a bigger out of pocket than maybe .50 shampoo.
+Username yeah brand specific items are hard to overcome if you are used to it!
i have been couponing recentally but getting things i need to get things for my sister and her hubby and i atocked up on toothpaste that we need its about gettjng things u need not random things
+monica miller yeah I agree. But the effort to go couponing and make videos was more than I was willing to give up
you do not have to buy news papers. paper bins... getting inserts before the store closes on Sunday nights. some store may only ask you to pay only a few cents for inserts. I only get max on 4 of a product. I buy for family members. limit only a few hours a week for couponing. I love seeing vlogs on couponing.
+Callie N That is not something our stores do in our area. They are very strict but I'm glad that works for you :)
You are so likeable! You just seem like a really sweet, genuine person.
+Marcel Magi thank you so much! You have completely made my day 😘
someday your stockpile is going to finish. and you will need to star couponing again. 😀. Im started couponing about 2 months and I do have to stop some day too.
+BEBE “EL PAPI CHULO” TZURIEL hahaha I am really close to being 100% done with my stockpile!
If you get the flipp app, it is a better idea. It saves when you have money, and better deals this way.
+Patricia Gaebel never heard of it! I will check it out
Such a honest awesome video...:)
+Bargain Beauty new subbie
Bravo! Congrats on the new addition to the family. I'm new and really want to incorporate couponing as a way of savings,but watching some videos.... I have my mouth open. What do they need with all of that stuff? Enough shampoos to last 5 years of use.-to me, that's not practical. Not really practical to have a mini Walmart unless you have a family of 20. People do whatever that makes them happy, we just have to find our own happy medium and weigh the cost of our time, energy, money, and the real estate of space in our homes. Wish you the best Lady and thanks for sharing. Of
great points :) Yeah if there were multiple people in my family I would go through things a lot faster! Thanks for watching :)
It's really hard when you actually need the stuff but don't have a vehicle to stockpile
+Jessica Berry that's true! Maybe you can trade someone transportation for some couponing items
Live closer to store and walk ?
Glad to see the truth that it does take money to coupon to get coupons and to stockpile. Money in Gas multiple trips to the stores. When a hobby isn't fun then it's time for new hobby
+harmonyranay07 Thanks so much! I agree ;)
I agree it's to much. That's way I coupon the way it's intended to be done. I coupon for only the things I'll know I'll use. I used to be big on the extremeness of it as well. So I know where your coming from. But it wasn't worth it. Now I do it a different way and I'm happy
I Wish you Could Teach Me How To Coupon!!!!!!
+Laalaa' Shontae I have a couponing video on how to start couponing. It's close to me teaching you ;)
I shop at ALDI...NO COUPONS!!! Just get what we need..... I found that coupons were great only if you want to buy toiletries or toilet paper....otherwise, like I said, ALDI or COSTCO. (ALDI has no yearly fee.)
Haven't shopped there yet ;)
Karin Dunham I agree! Aldi is so much cheaper.
ALDI is mine too. simple minimal and direct!
my husband and i shop at aldis. but coupon, pull ups, toilet paper, shampoo, laundry items, ladies sanitary items and that's it. my husband and i spoke about it together that these people that extreme coupon on like tlc and literally buying stuff they don't need (dog treats and they don't have a dog) and not donating it, are hoarders.
Karin Dunham sometimes seems a bit overpriced though I'm only living off 700 a month with lots of bills I make it but I stick to dollar tree
I can't imagine life without couponing. I do recognize that I must exercise moderation. I only get 2 papers and I print coupons. This still allows me to have a stockpile of the things I want and need and still have more than enough to give away.
+TheChicago35 glad it works for you :)
I coupon but I don't extreme coupon. In Chicago's tax rate of 12% U has to coupon to pay for the tax.
Oh WOW that is high! I totally get it!
Yes the taxes are extremely high I stop couponing for three years and my oop expense went up drastically!!! I'm back at it now!
Allthat2002p It's smart to coupon in Chicago, even if it just pays for the taxes.
You can buy Smartsource book and Redplum Coupon books that are normaling in the newspaper from their website for about $4.00 for 6 smartsources book and like $4.00 of 6 redplum books . If that hepls any. Instead of buys 4 newspaper for 10.00 and only getting 4 books of each
That's a good point! It's more money then I would save these deals if I am not able to shop as much too!
You saved my life.
Me?
yes, girl. I was about to spend $5 for two red plum ads lol.
lol noo!!So glad you read my comment i hope you have great savings! Im so glad i could help! I honestly got this tip from ( Deals By Mary ) here on youtube.You should go check out her channel too!
I totally agree with all of this. It's not fun anymore. All about competition
+Kellino21 I know right :(
Donating is good, OR if you need money, start some kind of eBay store of PashMark store! Maybe like apps are better? Slide apps or "passive" money apps, making money on game apps, surveys, scanning your reciepts and all. I can see where she's coming from. Probably (if you're midwest) Kroger couponing is easier. Or say prescription rewards at CVS and Walgreen's type places, but I think Walgreen's can be rude sometimes. But those points and coupons are easy. You can buy products that add points to your account etc. Go the easy route, ignore competition. Good Luck!
Good points :)
I think if i did this the extra unused stuff would go on ebay.
+lubabe69 that's a great idea but expensive to ship!
HowToExtremeCoupon I guess for heavier stuff it would be my daughters etsy is jewelry and isn't much to ship being lite products. Best of luck with your channel and thanks for the update.
Buyer pays for shipping and shipping costs including supplies. Shipping labels can be printed and USPS can pick up packages at your home. Just an FYI For those who may be interested in doing this.
Yeah just look at the competition already on ebay of all the couponers. Not worth it. It'll take forever to sell.
Couponing is a lot of hard work. I just started and I also work 6 days a week it is very hard but I love the deals plus I only shop for things I need. Starting my TH-cam is fun. I don't have a lot of subscribers but it is okay if I can At least help one person save money that makes me happy 😊
+Traveler Family good for you to continue doing it while works 6 days!! That's also a great way to look at it for TH-cam. Have fun with it too!
I coupon for only what I need and to get printable coupons I just visit the library and print 3 coupons per page at 15 cents per page.....I don't extreme coupon but I save on items that we need and we are brand loyal....so don't stop couponing please....you can justify even 2 newspapers and printables at the library and you can take your kids to the library for story hour....movies, crafts, game night and still print out your coupons...
good ideas! I will consider it but always find ways to still work in couponing :)
that crazy where I live my paper are 1.25
wow that's a great price!
I love the honesty of this video :) Definitely made me think about things. I'm excited to see what videos you put up in the future
Thanks Susy :)
1 take videos are the easiest. Editing a video that has lost it's relevance on Saturday isn't worth it. I wouldn't be doing videos if I was editing every one of them.
+michellesfrugallivin Thanks Michelle! I will do some one takers every once in a while :)
you can sure donate some to me, I have no clue on how to even get started in couponing.
+Brooklynsecrets Brooklynsecrets I did donate before to shelters! I have a video on how to coupon if you want to learn :)
I surely do and I would donate also once I can figure it out
+Brooklynsecrets Brooklynsecrets yay great to hear!
Im starting to coupon bc i need diapers for my baby i have a 3 month and a toddler ans i sure dont get help from govt. So thats the reason i startred until my kids get old i will stop bc those diapers are expensive lol
Thanks For Sharing ☺
thanks for watching :)
There is no ALDI's where I live. T.T
Oh I'm sorry! Hopefully they get one by you soon.
Can u buy your newspapers for $1 at the $tree?!
not sure! I haven't seen any at mine!
So what's yours. saying your rich now and don't need to count pennies
+Yo&Yo no that's not what I was saying. I just didn't use the items that were costing more than it was worth the time and effort
Why do people use the "I was getting too many free items" excuse? Why not pass those savings onto your family and friends or a local church or food bank? If you get your coupons for free, it's not costing you to donate your surplus.
I did that for my family, friends and shelters but not everyone is going to take depends, Epsom salt, etc. It is also costing time to donate and space in our house for storing. I felt I started become wasteful.
Most churches, Nursing homes and assisted living places will accept depends. Epsom salt has MANY uses including soaking feet, using in your bath, gardening, use as a laxative etc...Also can be donated to Churches and community gardens. For most stuff, churches will accept just about anything.
My solution to every problem
Girl have a heart donate four shampoos and keep one for yourself
+Heykacey I have always donated my items. To a certain point it becomes a lot of work.
Girl i heard you you have to do what you have to do.
+Tessa Bristol thanks Tessa!

I think this is a double comment but thanks for commenting ;)
Get a coupon fairy! Start selling!
+pimpmyride haha hadn't thought about that
my thought exactly :)
I sale my stuff on line.
..at bargain prices
oh that's cool!
If you get the items you're selling with coupons, that's illegal. It says on the coupons NOT FOR RESELL. :)
+Ginger Baby ok ill stop.....lol
but, you sell what you price match. :P
+Ginger Baby now
your trolling. are u a police officer?
This comment is not at all intended for hate. I was game on for couponing for quite a while. I did it for baby food because that's what I needed at the time. Through job experiences/friends, I learned how negative using loopholes to get 'free' was hurting people. At first I didn't believe this, but the deal with it is is that it costs money to make products. And you think... They only have 40 cents wrapped up in it. True, but they still pay employees. I'm sure you know as well as I do that technology is always on the rise meaning companies switch to machines more than actual employees to save money. The whole point is that everyone's purchases are significant enough to make change. Again, this was not at all intended to be hateful. Just my experiences and opinions. Good luck with you channel, I'll stay a subscriber!
Never thought about the Madi! I think that is so true! I always got sucked into buying so many other items at CVS while I was there that I am sure was a much higher mark up so hopefully that helped balance out things for them!
Noooo realllyyy? lol This is just another form of hoarding, it's insane to sane people. Talk about poor money management. I thought it was crazy that his one family had 300 bottles of soda. First I don't drink soda but what the hell are you supposed to do with 300 bottles of soda????????? You can't drink that much soda.
They just got lazy
I am sorry you feel that way. It's not a lazy thing, it's a non-necessity, lot of work for little reward.
I started couponing and noticed right quick that it's very expensive to coupon..i see it as hoarding and compulsive shopping vs couponing. You shouldn't explain yourself to anyone though it's your business why you stopped. no one elses.
Thanks Stephanie! I really appreciate that :)
i dont know how i got here...just a note about your 2nd reason. the show i watched on couponers...they dont buy the newspapers. they get them from friends, neighbors, knocking on peoples doors & even go to the dumpsters where they know they throw out the extra flyers etc. it seems very time consuming & boring to me unless you're preparing for war or you're broke, i cant see the attraction. but then i think scrapbooking is ridiculous for anyone besides kindergarteners & alzheimer patients too.
HAHA I love your scrapbooking comment, I feel the same way :) Yeah it is very time consuming to do that and my time is much more valuable than going to get one or two inserts!
glad you got out of the cult. lol!
Sorry it didn't work out for you... I coupon however I donate to homeless places and women shelter.....We get 2 papers from the dollar store than I order from cutting sites that I trust........ With a new baby that is hard... hope you are bless in whatever you decide...
What website do you order your coupons from? I'm scared that I'll get ripped off
I donated a lot too but sometimes it felt like a lot of work. oh that's a good deal on the cutting sites... never used that!
