Memo: The Hotcouponworld Story

[Cynthiabutterfly]

I stumbled onto DAGG in 2004 while doing a search for printable coupons. I had NO idea there were sites like this out there... I stuck with DAGG even after the merger to *************? because I couldn't find any other good sites out there. Then one day someone PM'd me for a trade on ************* and told me to check out her WL on HCW, and I never visited that site (or any other) since then.

Great story!

Thanks Heidi, Julie and Mark for all your efforts and hard work to make HCW so wonderful! After I stumbled upon this website, I lurked for about a week or so. I was practically brand new to couponing. There was so much information and it was great that others shared deals they spotted. I felt I wanted to contribute as well, so I decided to join to share deals I saw.

I have learned so much and saved so much. Thank you and keep up the great work!

I am new to this site and have great expectations. I am aslo new to couponing and shoping for savings. I am trying to figure out how to use this site though i'm a little confused. I'm not very good with computers. I'm sure ill get it though. thank you for your help.

Wow, Julie, that story sure brought back some wonderful memories......thanks for the nostalgic trip down memory lane!

Yes, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I also was a member of DAGG when it existed, and was sad when it shut down. I stopped couponing for quite a while, since I didn't have an active forum to be a part of and it is way more work when you do it all yourself!! I am glad that you guys started HCW and I was able to find it again when I started couponing again!

Thanks for the story!! It is great you guys got together and started HCW!!

I'm with Cynthiabutterfly. I found DAGG through other personal finance website around 2004, and stayed with it for a while because I didn't know where everybody went. One day, I found a familiar name in the personal finance website and asked her if she knows where everyone is, then, she told me about HCW. It was soooo nice to see many familiar names again.

Thanks for the great story! I had traded with Heidi regularly and when you guys opened this site, Heidi invited me over. I am soooooooo Glad she did. i just LOVE LOVE LOVE this site. I was also a member of DAGG and it just was not the same when they sold it.

this is, by far, the best trading/informational site, on the web. I am truly amazed at this site and what you guys have done and how it has grown.

CONGRATULATIONS!:party76:

I am so glad you all started this site! I found it almost a year ago when I was trying to look for ways to work on decreasing our spending, and it has been such a huge help to me! It's true that everyone here is so nice! I have learned so much, and really appreciate that all the mods are on top of what is being said on the forums, and really strive to make sure that everyone stays above board with their comments! I know I can trust that the deals talked about here are totally legitimate.
