Okay, as requested-- here's the Fru-Gal's very first column.... (Several of these links she lists, I've seen in our Freebies forum, but some of them are new to me!)

Web sites offer lots of giveaways- For starters, check these Web sites for lots of giveaways

"Don't worry, I am not going to get all crazy, telling you to stop buying a $3 coffee every morning or to grow your own food.

What I am going to do is share a few tips each week that will take a little time but will save you money or get you something for free. My husband says nothing is free, but I disagree."

Looking at the picture of her, she's cute.

Did anyone else look carefully at the stockpile picture and try to figure out if you got all the same free items?

<edit> Someone beat me to posting the blog!
Oh well...what the above poster said :) Hopefully she'll have more than just some local stuff for the rest of us!

Great! Maybe the word will get around and all those people who pretend to be cashiers and who have never seen a coupon in their whole little life will get a
clue. (In the case of some of them, I think their local Clue store went out of
business, so they have no where to go to get one.)

Have you all noticed the increase in folks using coupons while shopping? I'm
seeing it more and more. I see someone using Qs I just have to stop and talk
to them. Sometimes we wind up swapping some Qs back and forth right there.
More people seem to be using grocery lists, too, rather than just running in and
grabbing whatever.

Attention fellow central Kentuckians: the "Fru-Gal" is having an event on Sept 20, 11am-1pm, at the Lex Herald Leader building-- this will include a coupon swap and freebies! Here's the link to a poster with the needed info and a contact person:
"Fru-Gal Fair"

I sure hope I'm able to go-- it sounds like fun!
