    __________________________________________________ ___

    Ok, so, a little behind the curve, but wanted to get this up today.

    Heidi and I are so grateful that we've had four wonderful years of coupons, deals, and friendship. This year's anniversary is going to be a bit low-key as personally, there's been some big changes in my life that are going to keep me off the board for a bit. But we didn't want to let the day go by unnoticed!

    So, we'll do a simple RAOK contest that will start now until July 20th. We'll be giving out 20 drawings -

    (10) $10 Amazon GCs
    (6) $25 Amazon GCs
    (3) $50 Amazon GCs
    (1) $100 Amazon GC

    So, what do you have to do to enter?

    Tell us your favorite Hotcouponworld story! It can be about a deal you got, a trade you made, a stockpile you got that saved you money, your best shopping trip you ever did with info you got here, or about someone here who was kind to you.

    Post your stories, one entry per person will count, but you can share as much as you want. We'll draw and PM you a GC if you're a winner. But we really wanted to give out lots of prizes, but manage this to one contest.

    A few of my favorite memories....

    Crashing the server the first anniversary party we had.
    Playing Texas Holdem in the chat room for coupons
    All the wonderful RAOKs from people whenever I've posted a trade
    The Helping Hands Forum (which I am really proud of!!!)
    The original orange forum back when it was just a few hundred people on here.

    Anyway, I've been blessed beyond belief by great members, a fabulous mod/supermod team, and the best business partner under the sun. Looking forward to reading your stories. They are the motivation that keeps us moving forward.

    We have lots of interesting stuff coming ahead for the site, and we're hoping Year 5 is as excellent as the four that have come before it.

    Thank you for being our friends, and for many, like our big extended families. We've cherished every minute!

    happy 4th anniversary, hcw!

    i still remember tiptoeing in to give my first find- some chocolate crunch bar things that were ringing up 90 per cent off at kmart with no signs.

    i got 3 or 4 boxes, and rushed home to "tell the girls".


    i have been to the site every day since it opened, and i'd like to thank you for hosting us- it is so nice to have a place to talk.

    here's to 40 more years!

    Happy Anniversary! I will always remember my first stockpile and one I am constantly trying to keep stockpiled - Cottonelle TP. I loved it when there were 1/1 4 pks and I found 4pks for $1. I had lots of those coupons so stocked up for months.

    I wanted to enter this because I Love free stuff,(who doesn't) and my motto since I've been using coupons is... "It tastes better when it's free."I love chatting on the this site, I've recently chatted with some very helpful,friendly,knowledgeable people here. The traders are rbunnymom, and Teresa434 that really were helpful right away on this site! I wanted to name them because, they need to be recognized! I will continue to try to search to save money, and also to seek friends! Thanks for listening and Happy Anniversary, HCW!

    I joined HCW after I had moved to OK and tried the GG. I decided I didn't want to pay for list for cvs and walgreens when I need help with groceries. I did some online searching and found HCW. It has been a great experience for me. I have made many good friends and learned tons. I am very grateful to be part of this community because in times of need I have had support. These past 2 months have been very stressful since I lost my job (work from home) and have not had the extra income. It got harder and harder to make ends me and that is when I went full force with the coupons. I have managed to feed my family of 6 and 2 fur babies on a little over $300 for 2 months. My husband and his family are in aww and praise the effort I have made. I do not know how I would have managed with out you guys. Keep up the good work!

    Happy Anniversary HCW!

    My most memorable moment was when HHH helped my family in its most desparate time of need. I will never be able to fully say how much our family appreciated all the massive amounts of kindness that our family was blessed with. Heidi is the greatest ever! She went above and beyond more than anyone will know. There are others that did as well, but they liked to remain anonymous. I told everyone I knew of this great site and the wonderful things you all did to help us.

    I love HCW. I learned about this site a few years ago when I was trying to find out about a coupon that seemed too good to be true. I googled it and HCW popped up and there was a thread that said it was fraudulent. It said that coupons are checked to make sure we are doing the right thing. I was so excited and have been here ever since. Love this place and all the great friends that I have made along the way.
    Please pray for my family.
    Please keep Elizabeth in your prayers. She lost her Father on 2/19/2012.
    MOD for Expired Coupons,
    Let the Lord have his way. If prayer is needed please pm me as I love to pray for others:)

    Happy Anniversary everyone!

    I have a few happy things I would like to share.

    One, I love our Helping Hands threads. I am always so proud of us as a community for the way we pull together when one of our gals (or guys) needs a hand, no matter how big or small the need. Actually, it was a helping hands thread that made me decide to become a member here, and lead to me actually PM hotcouponmama very early on in my time here - glad I did. I feel very lucky to be a part of such a wonderful group.

    Next, I love love love the sharing is caring coupon train that Kristy and I host every year. Well this will be our third year, this Novermber. For those who haven't been fortunate enough to snag a seat yet, basically, it is a friendly competition between our "teams" to see not only who can be an awesome envie sender during the train, but also, which team can donate the most items, food, time, or whatever to places and people in need. We have accomplished so much within our own communities through this train, and it has made me very very proud to say I know everyone who has participated so far!

    So here's to many more years of deal hunting and caring and sharing :D

    One of my favorite things about HCW are the auctions we have. Whenever there's a need, HCWers rally together and come up with some amazing auctions. I always wish I had enough money to bid on them because there have been some real killer ones.
