Even though I live in SW Wa, we get all the Portland Oregon news channels for our "local" news. Fox Channel 12 ( kptv) morning news this morning ran a spot about coupon trains, and mentioned HCW and Organic Shopping Deals! Was excited to see Julie on our local news! I didn't get the name of the other lady interviewed, and wonder if she was from HCW also!?

I wish someone had told me it was going to be on. I would have loved to see this. Oh well, maybe next time.

It's Breaking news, headlines, weather and sports | Fox12 - KPTV (http://kptv.com) but I can't find it on the site.

That's awesome!
I wonder how much current active users and new members jumped at that moment.

Clicking on the Whole Foods ad supplies the $5/$25 coupon.

Oops sorry. Post #4 had a link to a Miami station but since it was back at the end of October, it might not be working anymore. Let me see if I can dig anything else more recent up.

Thanks! Of all the cool things he filmed he put my "beater box" in the clip LOL. but it works so I have to go with it. Too cheap to buy something new :whistle:
I have 2 nice filing cabinets but I cant move those around the house with me! But anyway, this was SUPER fun to do even though I was crazy nervous.

Dang it - I specifically asked the station manager at Fox to let me know when it would be on. Glad it finally aired here - that's sweet!

They found Julie... not sure how.
She posted that she needed train riders in certain cities willing to do interviews. I happened to be close to one of those cities and told her I was willing to do an interview. We each spoke with the producer over the pone.
Then, BAM tv camera guy will be there next week.... and he will arrive 1 + hours early to mess you up, and interview you....
AND Julie did like 2+ hours of filming if I remember correctly, and I had about 1 1/2 hours worth of filming and that my friends turned into 90 seconds of coupon history!!!
