Re: Ad up top "I stopped clipping coupons..." I did go into the rough patch learning how to coupon [or do a refresher anyway, as I had couponed several years ago] - and I'm forever grateful about all the new ins and outs I learned here at HCW. Things are still rough businesswise but the one thing I have that I didn't 2 yrs ago, is a pretty well stocked stockpile to fall back on.
One thing has changed for me - while I am still here a lot, I am not constantly glued to the computer any longer [phew - that even worried me for a while - HCW is definitely addictive, LOL], and I am no longer constantly shopping and running from store to store - courtesy of the stockpile. Now when I go - instead of buying a handfull, I go on all out, and get a lot [as much as I have reasonably use for during the shelflife of the product] and I share/trade/barter with friends as well...
I'd have to make a heck of a lot more than 5+K [which we did hands down before the economy nosedived] to stop couponing now. I like having a house full of stuff!
