Checking in with everyone...

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I would just share some stories I have been hearing around the office.  It seems like I get all sorts of good stories throughout the week, and it just occured to me to share them.  Many people have really beefed up their coupon clipping, and making sure they have their coupons with them (most important, and a challenge I am still working on myself).

One co-worker commented in saving over $40 on one shopping trip... I think that is great! Another conversation I learned of someone who called a company regarding their services and was rewarded with $20 in coupons! One person told me that they bought a coupon organizer at a Dollar Store for, yes, a dollar. The cashier told her they have been having trouble keeping them in stock! Someone else told me that they bought one those accordian type closable file folders.  Whatever your method, just use it and take it with you!

OK, so I bought my 3-ring binder last week but have been searching through the week for some sort of organizer, preferably collector card holders.  Not at Dollar General, any of the grocery stores, WalMart, Michaels, Hobby Store -- nope! Fantasy Shop in St Charles - BINGO! $0.20 per sheet! Yes!  OK, now I can get better. My coupons disappear in my purse when I need them! Apparently Archivers has some photo sheets for some of the larger coupons too.  Dierdre works at the Chesterfield location.

Don't forget about the box in the North Kitchen -- bring your unneeded coupons and take some that you do.  Do you have a story or idea to share?  Comment here, or send me an email!

Hey, did you catch the last Extreme Couponing?  It was great to see a man doing it.  :-)
