Since Bugface711 is on vacation, I get the honorable pleasure of announcing Smee
as our August 2011 Member of the Month.
Not just because she's a great member, but because
I get to embarrass theSmee-thereens
outta her.
Smee has been a member since January 2009. She has
provided just about every member on this site with an
average of 10,472 laughs. If you don't know who she is,
just hang out in Daily Living, Tell it Like it is or Hot Under the
Collar a few days & she'll no longer be a stranger to ya.
I think my personal favorite thing about Smee is her
common sense approach to topics. I recall the first time
I met her & we completely & utterly disagreed,
but I could see that she was a fair-minded lady
(even if she was wrong) & just insanely hilarious to boot.
HCW wouldn't be the same without her & I'm personally
thankful she chose our site to grace with her presence.
Now, if you'll excuse me,![]()
I'm gonna go turn off the lights in Smee's profile
while you read a few more things about her:

I am kind of a thrill seeker who enjoys a good adrenaline rush and I don't fear much... except I'm terrified of the dark!Favorite Money Saving Tip
Make a list and stick with it, and shop the sales with coupons as much as possible. Also, I save a significant chunk of money each month by being very aware of our consumption of electricity and adjusting our power usage. We cut our power bill in half!Budget
For groceries and general household goods? $150 a month, up recently from $100.Stores I shop
Publix, Harvey's, Fred's, Big Lots.Coupon Organization Method
I have one of those little 3 x 5 index card organizers-- like a recipe organizer-- and I categorize my coupons by alphabetical order like "pet" or "hygiene" or "frozen stuff."Best Advice to Newbies
Get familiar with HCW and read read read. When I first came here, it seemed so overwhelming at first. Hang in there! It really does just click even if it takes a little while. Almost any question anyone could think of has been covered somewhere, but the awesome thing is that people are always willing to cheerfully answer it again or direct you to the right place to read more about it. Be patient and cut yourself some slack while you learn. You can't get every deal and that's ok. There will be more around the corner!

It's true about the laughs. Can't tell you how many times I've cracked up about something Smee said. Thanks for each one of those laughs!!
Besides she's a Southern girl that, like me, loves the old, now defunct Traveling Wilburys!!
