Did you find us in Women's World? Post here and say hello!

[hotcouponmama]

We're glad to welcome all the new members from Women's World who found us in this week's article.

Welcome to the community. We're not quite your typical coupon site where you'll get simple savings advice like "buy generics" or "buy an extra one" if they're on sale.

We're going to tell you to buy 20 of them if they're onsale, and that buying brands during the sales cycles is going to give you better deals than on anything generic.

And we're also going to be here to give you a hand up in learning how to coupon shop - with no subscription to pay for. Paid sites are pretty much worthless and you should never have to pay for good deal information when it's freely available to you here.

So, welcome to the site - we're happy you found us, and we're here to help!

Co-Owner, Hotcouponworld

Hello, I'm new as well. I have special needs kids, special meal planning I have to do as well, besides pinching pennies in this recession. I found your site in Woman's World as well. I've been curious about the different coupon places out here, but wasn't sure which were legit, and which weren't.
I appreciate any and all help.

I'm a mom of 4, though 3 still are at home ,my mother in law lives with us as well.
So I have to focus on fresh, frozen, no salt, no sugar items when shopping.
We have 2 diabetics, 1 high blood pressure, 1 high cholesterol, 1 milk sensitive, 1 on light or close to liquids for a week (had his tonsils and other things taken out and/or corrected so really careful to what he can eat so far). 2 picky children eating. And believe me, I am so getting tired of eating chicken or hamburgers, though that's basically what we can afford. So not only am I looking for coupons, but also recipes if I have to make those said main dishes. Thanks for all the help. Just trying like the rest of you to pinch pennies.

I have not read the article yet, but if it wasn't mentioned you may want to also check out www.organicgrocerydeals.com This is the sister site of HCW and has information on more organic etc types of deals.

Welcome to the forums!

At the bottom of every page in the footer on the site is a link to all the helpful info you'll need to be a deal hunter. Use the "new to Hotcouponworld" page and check out all the resources there. And then the "abbreviations and acronyms" will help you through the lingo.

And then don't hesitate to ask questions - we really want to help you all understand how to do this. It makes a huge impact in your budget and your life to get a grasp on the shopping. It's one of the only financial variables you can control.

I read about you in ww!! I have never found a coupon site you didn't have to pay for or that wasn't completely ridiculous. I am so glad I read this article. I can't wait to get started!! THis is the first thing I have done.
SO, about me?
I am a mom of 4 boys, married to my husband for going on 15 years.
I am a stay at home mom, always looking for a way to cut expenses, and maybe save some money.
I also look forward to being part of a community and making some friends.

Welcome all new members!!! I'm excited the site is getting some great recognition!!

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about internet safety. Don't post any information on the board you wouldn't be comfortable with a complete stranger knowing. If you are wanting to start trading coupons make sure you fully research the members you are thinking of trading with through their ifeedback, posts they've made, etc.

Most of all, have fun! Read read read and more read! It will help you out. And don't lose faith, this WILL take awhile to get the hang of. But you have a ton of other members who always seem to be willing to give others a hand with information, so you're not alone.
