Making friends in the store

I, too, Like that HCW is only for the right way to use coupons. I can say honestly that there were times in the past when I have used to coupon on the wrong thing unknowingly. But to do it on purpose just to save a few bucks?? I think I'd rather sleep soundly, thanks.

I havent meet any couponers in person, but I did have some guy behind me at the checkout say "wow, good job" while his son was babbling to Jaelyn, it was wicked cute. But I was like um..thank you. But usually I run into unfriendly cashiers, but thats another story and welcome to HCW :)

I work at WM, and have only ever seen just a few other shoppers using coupons.

I did happen to meet another HCW member, she knew I worked in the cosmetics dept at Walmart, so she stopped by and introduced herself.

I dont find many people here that use coupons, I have saw a few that have 2 or 3 but I have 50 or 60 to use at one time.. I have had people in line to get mad and put their stuff back in the buggy when they see my coupons and I have had others to stand there and talk to me about where I got them and how much I usually save and want to know my start total and my finish total and then tell me that they need to do coupons like I do and that they have never saw anyone save that much with coupons....I tell them that it is work but that it is well worth it. I am often told well I cant find coupons for things I buy, I will usually say I could not either until I really got into it and it took some time to learn where to look I will tell them about hcw but htey jsut look at me funny, I guess they dont think a computer can get you coupons and lots think I am crazy when I say you can find them on ebay to(I can tell from the look on their face)..I wish I could find someone here that was into coupons the way I am..most say they dont have the time when they may not even work..some people thinks it makes you look cheap or poor.. well I am both cheap and almost poor........others dont like the way other shoppers treat you in line, I dont care how they feel for I feel good saving money..

Well as far as cashiers I know my cashiers and I try to use the same ones all the time but every now and then I have to use one that I dont know I look for the ones that have a smile on their face, it seems to help..I talk to them and tell them about coupon deals I have found and where to find coupons and so on, it seems to help with the way they treat me now the ones I use all the time like to see me come in just so they can see how much I save, they always say they dont see how I come up with such good deals. I have had a few to say they were going to join hcw. They see what I save and that I dont buy just junk so they know it can be done.

There is more people that use copons in my town then not. Most of the stores here double or triple coupons. So its no biggy to see 30 different people using coupons. But it is different to see a man here use coupons. They act like its embarassing to use them. And its nothing to see people standing in a middle of an isle trading coupons. I have also learned that if you get friendly with the casheir right from the start they wont give you any trouble with your coupons. makes it a lot easier. But let me tell you if they give me trouble, thats like messing with my money.I wont take it at all. There is always another store arcross the street that will take my coupons.

grocery stores that double and triple coupons in my area are:
MEIJERS
KROGERS
MARSH past weekend they tripled coupons and i missed it (so sad)
DILLMANS

grocery stores that don't double
WALMART
family dollar
dollar general
