Hello my name is NCmomof3 and I am a couponaholic. Yesterday I chased a Catalina coupon I found blowing through the HT parking lot!

Please let me know I'm not alone. Share a story.

Hello...my name is Teresa. I am a couponaholic. Just last night,at a coupon class at church I almost punched a very nice older lady that poked fun at my saving over $360 in JUST the month of January! You should have seen her face when I told her I had saved over $87 this week! She snidely said...well I'm proud of you honey...ya know with the smirk and wink kinda attitude!

Welcome Teresa!

Hmmm, do you suppose this very nice older lady is jealous or in D.E.N.I.A.L? While visiting my family at Christmas, bragging about my yearly savings and stockpiles, I became the brunt of family jokes until just last week when my mother told me my sisters have been making secret mid-night shopping trips to their local supermarkets with their coupons to see what they've been missing!

Thanks for sharing, I feel better already.

I picked up a soggy receipt off the ground outside HT today - it turned out to have over $10 in meat purchases on it that I can use towards rebates. I also once found a $1 oyno cat in the HT parking lot - it had not even been run over by a car yet!

hi, my name is vicki, and i am a couponaholic...last week it was pointed out to me by a friend that maybe i am really the krazy coupon lady people talk about..as i was on hold on both my cell phone and house phone with 2 diferent walgreens, a single woman, hunting down the mens deodorant free with coupons,lol. and then that night, i stayed up until midnight, then drove to the 24 hour walgreens to buy meters and get rr's, and was back up at the other non-24 hour stores by opening the next (or same,lol)morning

My name is Petrina and I am a couponaholic. I have been to Kroger twice already today for the last day of their mega event and am seriously considering making another trip. And I'll be in line @ Walgreen's first thing tomorrow morning to buy a huge stack of papers due to the great inserts inside.

Shameless plug to other couponaholics- I'm conducting a train right now that will start next week- it's the Punxatawney Phil Mystery Train ride and I'd love other couponaholics to join us on the ride!

I'm Christine and I'm a couponaholic. I am in Delaware stuck in about 2 feet of snow today and my first thought was - noooooo I won't be able to get out to get my Sunday coupons, er papers, tomorrow! And my second thought was wondering when I'll be able to get out to RiteAid and Walgreens for this week's deals as I just got more meter coupons in the mail yesterday. Sad, very very sad.

I am a TOTAL coupon-a-holic, too! I don't think it's sad at all, though :-) I haven't even been coupoing a whole year, but I have already gotten the hang of it enough to save us at least 75% of our monthly expenses that are attributed to grocery, household, pet, and personal items. My boyfriend cannot BELIEVE how well I am stretching our cash. It is SO fun and I look forward to down time to coupon and I REALLY love giving away freebies, whether via charitable donation or gifts. It is the BEST! I owe so much to HCW and all you fellow couponers who post/chat,etc. Thank you!!!

My name is Jana and I am a couponaholic! I find myself not being able to sleep at night when I have a big "fix" coming the next morning...ie. night before HT triples or some other great sale. I shop HT and other stores in my dreams. I even argue with managers in my dreams...how sad is that!
