Hi all: Newbie here...I am diligently wading through the entire site and forum and am eager to get started.

I understand the fairy/buddy system is down, so if someone would adopt me and/or be a stand-in fairy, I'd really appreciate it!

My goals are to:

Get items I need for free or very inexpensively (see wishlist).

To get items free/inexpensively that I can donate/give to friends/family.

To assemble a stock of things that I could sell at a yardsale to earn extra money.

To master the cvs/walgreens games.

To join programs that will earn giftcards.

To learn how to match coupons/rewards/rebates with sales.


So how do I get there?

I cut out every coupon in Sunday's paper, do I keep ALL of these and organize them into a binder? Do I then list them as available FSOT?

Also, should I start off with matching or would I be better off doing the drugstore game?

So confused!?!

So I offer up my hand, and hope that one of you kind souls will lead me along the path to coupon goddessness... :-)

Thank you!

Hi you poor, lost waif. I would be happy to take you under my wing, for what it's worth. I have been couponing and frugaling (my own verb) for years, I am also a single Mom and am currently working on launching my website and blog geared towards helping other single moms live well with the time, money and resources they have. So if you think I'll do, I'd be happy to flitter around you with my wand, LOL. And hey, welcome to AFC! You could not have found a better place to start.
