Happy 2 Year Anniversary HCW!

Yeah!!! The best thing that I can say that I learned from HCW is "sharing." You share your ideas/savings/deals/etc. with others and they share them back. How wonderful is that?

Hi. Am checking in and I've learned to use coupons w B1G1 free items to save more money

Happy Anniversary HCW! and a special Thank you to all the Administrators and Mods that work so hard to make all of this possible - you guys rock!

I cannot tell you how much I have learned in the last year. I always couponed before, but not like this. I have learned to reduce my grocery bill by 50% and am still working on getting it to be less. I never pay money for numerous household and beauty products - which frees up income for more important things. I also now am constantly on the lookout for tearpads, blinkies, and wine tags - and find coupons in the oddest places! Thanks for helping me and my family save money.

Howdy! Happy Anniversary HCW!

I have learned so many things in the last year (from when I joined), but I think most important is that buying the bigger package to get the best price per unit, is not always the way to go. I am so brainwashed to do that, it has been hard to break old habits.

Hi! Happy Anniversary HCW! One of the most important things I have learned here is the art of a good stockpile and how good it feels when you have the extra to share with others. Thanks everyone!

:hi7: Wow! 2 Years already??? Seems like yesterday I was signing up.
I have learned so much, its hard to pick one thing that stands out! I think the biggest thing is learning the sales cycles to stock up. Also that its ok to pass up a sale, it is bound to come 'round again.

I've learned so much that I have no idea where to even begin! I think the things that stick out the most to me are:
I've learned that the commissary gives overage!
I've learned that you can trade for what you need coupon-wise, and that there are very generous HCW'ers when it comes to trades!
I've learned that CVS and Rite Aid and stores like GE and Krogers CAN be cheaper than generics and Aldis!

Most of all I've learned to improve our standard of living without attacking our wallet, and that is a precious, precious lesson to have learned!

Thanks HCW and Mods, you totally rock and I have no idea how I lived without you before!
