1 Million Members Later, AFC Remembers
Posted 06-25-2012 at 04:31 PM by Rasha
We held a contest where members shared their favorite memories of AFullCup, or for new members, what they hope to gain from AFC. Seven winners were chosen at random. Though be sure to read through the thread as there were over 200 wonderful entries.

My favorite memory involving afc happened on Black Friday… I was prepared with my shopping list and qs in hand at CVS waiting gathering all my goodies…!!!! Up walks a fellow couponer who was lost… I pulled out my handy dandy droid… Opened the AFC app and blew her mind…!!! I was able to chat with her for 30+ mins (as we waited for midnight) and got her to join AFC.

I joined afullcup.com after I had surgery and was sitting around with the computer and thought to myself I am going to start couponing. Well it has been 4 months I am having a great time. Plus now I do a lot of the freebie stuff too. It is like christmas every day in my mailbox. I
sing Christmas carols on the way in from the mailbox. Thank you for your help I have learned a lot from this website.

Why I joined AFC was to learn everything I could about couponing and saving money. AFC has been very helpful!

My favorite memory is the day I found the Rite-Aid forum (also the day I discovered AFC). Back in the first two weeks of May 2011 I went to Rite-Aid nearly every day because there were so many deals to get.

My favorite memory: A build-a-bear $5 off a $10 bear! I was able to send my niece in texas her own bear to stuff down there and suprise my daughter with a “no reason” gift to stuff as well!!

I joined AFullCup to help my family save money. I am a mother of a 2 and a half year old and 1 year old twins so you can imagine the diaper bill every month. After my husband got laid off we were really struggling to keep our heads above water. I had been couponing for a few
months but the savings weren’t helping as much as I had hoped. Thats when I found AFullCup and I haven’t stopped saving big money since. This forum has made all the difference in my efforts to save our family money. I cant thank everyone on here that has taken the time to help new couponers like myself. I am forever grateful to this forum and all its members xoxo

It has now been a year since I joined AFC and I really wasn’t saving a whole lot in the beginning but once I got my printer- It was ON! We are a family of eight with farm animals, and my husband is our soul source of income. I joined to try and help us save some money for xmas, vacation, and family activities. Finding this site was Heaven Sent!! Everyone here has been so helpful and nice and last but not least, Patient. I don’t know what we would do without you all!!! Just saying thank you wouldn’t be enough… I love you all….

I joined so many years ago that I knew no one on the current list! At first I thought I might be silly, or wasting my time with ‘envies’, but I tracked my savings and it was worth it. We started a small group at church and I loved that but had to give it up when I moved.
