Hi, thickbluebug here.
In this blog we will chart our journey of the deals we are chasing and the rebates we are hunting.
Tossing in some daily thoughts and tips.
Of course there will be drama too. We are couponers and someone is always trying to pee in the cornflakes - so drama is a given. Deal jealous fools trying to spoil the fun.

Sorry for the delay phin - been offline this w/e.
No advise on approaching to ask the family.
My inlaws were already use to my asking for bows off the wrapping paper so......I already had a rep for being a little cheap/frugal. LOL
Anyway, most of my inlaws won't be caught dead using a coupon - so they laugh at my hobby.
I married into a huge family - so I just asked if they cared if I did the rebates for them.
They don't like the big inventory - so I store it for them. For real, I walk in carrying a sack of mustard and a-1 - look at me like I am crazy. I take in 2 of something and they are happy. Probably because their pantries are the size of a washing machine on a pedal stool.
They bring me my cash and pick out of the basement stockpile for their goodies.
Works for us.Posted 08-24-2009 at 01:13:24 PM by thickbluebug - Thanks you thats explain a lot. Big families is a key and also noncoupon inlaw.
How about friends? Do I need to advetised myself that I am a couponers I can sell you my stockpile.
I do need to cash in some of my stockpile. I have alot that I can't use them all but I can't stop couponing.
Yike I am hoarding? I hope not. I learnt a lot from Stockpile challange. I hope I'll do better next month.
Thank you so much for tips.

People want deals - especially those that don't want to use coupons.
I have read where some husbands take stuff and sells to the secretaries.
I find that most "customers" are happy to pay 1/2 of walmart prices.Posted 08-25-2009 at 07:20:41 PM by thickbluebug
