Hmmm, i wonder how everone found this site??? in in north bay and i have 5 traditional sites i look at daliy, they are alot easier to understand. Someone showed me a forum about people looking for inserts so i tried to reply and cant even do that. If anyone feels lost and wants some tips maybe start a new thread called BA tips? i can usually answer questions. BTW if you go to raleys please sign up for there ecoupns, free stuff every friday, and dont forget the just4u i had 8 free items plus a 10 off 50 just last week

happy couponing

[hingano12]

woohoo i'm from the bay area also and there are so many couponers out here in my area am from san mateo, especially shelf clearers but i doubt they use this website because what i've found here i dont see on the other site......i didnt know whole foods and trader joes take manufacturer q's....

[sfclippers]

yes these days it seems like shelves are bare... and trader joes does accept coupons for the few non tj brand items. Whole foods has an awesome policy and they have their own coupons on their website that you can stack with manf q

[sfclippers]

there is a local blog out of antioch that does Winco and foodmaxx deals. its the frugal find, julia is awesome! if you end up there please tell her sf clippers sent you!

[sfclippers]

Yes in this area Safeway is best it's the only high/low in the area. I hope your blog does well. I only mention TFF cause she lays everything out for people. Scenic younger just starting it's easy to get. One tip if you don't mind, bloggers are really sensitive about their content, if you ever cut and paste deals from other sites I have heard of some people being sued. One for similar artwork. Just a thought

[sfclippers]

Lol at auto correct scenic younger= even if you are

[SHERRI_001_001]

Can someone start a coupon train. I have no idea how to do this. I would love to trade some coupons. I have so many that expire before I could use them. I rarely use the coupons for medicine, make-up, and some other misc items....

[amestuzzi]

Hi I live in the santa rosa area and am new to couponing looking to trade and learn more about coupons. None of my friends and family coupons so it would be nice to talk with people who do. and not get crazy looks because I am so exited about them.

[bcostello]

Ive been Watching the extreme coupon-ing marathon today on TLC, so crazy, Im a Raleys girl but willing to change as one of the girls said today you cant be loyal in Extreme Couponing! Nice to read all the tips, THanks!

Hello everyone! New to the site but I've been couponing for about five months. I have three kids of my own and a stepdaughter. I live in Newark.
I have thought SO many times about starting up a coupon swap/meetup group. It would be nice to share ideas and swap coupons at the same time. I know many of you probably have multiple subscriptions to newspapers, I only have two for my area but that's only because my husband is a garbage man and I get TONS of inserts for Redwood City - literally probably fifteen + every Sunday (yes he tends to go a little over board for me) but I guess it's just because he has such easy access to the bins at work. I started giving them to the family and friends that got into couponing when they saw the deals I was getting, but some of them have fallen off track since starting It's honestly to much to offer them online, people want to trade single coupons and I barely have time to cut my own - these are entire uncut inserts. I could sell them online but I'd much rather trade them for other inserts, or for other coupons! And it would be fun to do so in a group setting, does anyone know of a group in our area??

Would love to swap (coupons, ideas, even products...) with you! I'm in Hayward. You've got 15 inserts and you still need more LOL Lots that I don't use and I hate buying multiple papers, just to get the few I really want....

Well since coupons vary so much from different areas, Redwood City's coupons for example are always different than the ones I get in my Sunday paper here in Newark, I'd like to swap for those coupons I may not be getting! Is also really like to share the wealth. I certainly don't need all these inserts for my family of 6. When there is some incredible sale on something my family loves or uses regularly, of course my extra inserts come in handy - i can't tell you how many free packets of those trial bags of Cascade I have sitting in my garage! But other than that why be greedy? Plus I think it would be kind of fun to have a group of like minded frugal women getting together every so often to swap, encourage, help out newbies and just chat. I looked up groups on Meetup.com, there are a ton in other states where couponing is more rampant but not many in CA and none within 100 miles of me LOL

What is meant by "traditional sites"?

[coupongirl0581]

Hi

My name is dee and I'm a newbie =( I live in peninsula area ( San Mateo exactly ) I'm Confused about couponing (specially at safeway) I mostly shop at safeway, Trade's joes and lately at Cv's and walgreens!
If someone can help me ( and have patience to tech me couple of things i would really appreciate it )

[babynicksmom]

wow a lot of you are in the south bay and east bay.
There any one from the north bay around here?

[mayamendoza]

Hello Everyone!

I'm new to this site but been couponing for some time. Had a 3 month break when I started working and I'm back in the game!

I live in San Bruno (Peninsula). I get kind of frustrated when I see deals on other sites only to get to the store and see that it is not in our region... At times, I'll be in the store and find a great deal that was not published on other sites because it is only for our region...

Hoping this site helps find the best deals for the Bay Area.

Really glad to finally find couponista in the Bay!

Maya

Hello all! I am new to this site and I am from San Jose, Ca. A friend and I are trying to put together a swap group in this area so if any are interested pm me. Also not sure which side of the bay I'm from cuz I'm new to San Jose as well but I think I'm east bay? Lol anywhoo if any of you Facebook there is a group called East Bay Couponers that meet once a month to swap in Fremont or Hayward, I will make sure. Anyway if any of you are interested in that group friend me at alicia Solas-villareal and I can add you to the group. Also it does suck big time that none of our stores double in Ca or at least northern cali. Also I am thinking of starting a train cuz I have so many coupons I don't use would anyone be interested if I started one for the bay area? That is if there isn't one already? Nice to meet all of you and look forward to making some new coupon buddy's. =D

[couponjunkies7072]

I'm in Burlingame (SF bay Peninsula area). My husband and I have been couponing for 7 months now and only ran into a fellow couponer a little over a week ago. She said she used another site but maybe comes on here as well.

[aliciapomolopez]

[Melanievcb]

Helllloooooo fellow Californian. I'm Lanie and I just wanted to tell you that I started a FoodMaxx thread in "General Grocery Store Discussion". I love, love, love FoodMaxx for their awesome price match policy and wonderful customer service. Check out the thread by clicking HERE. I've posted a link to their price match and coupon policy. I also listed the sales in my area (Riverbank/Modesto) that we all can use to price match.

[TheCouponCoach]

Hello Fellow Couponers!

I live in the SF Bay Area. Look forward to chatting with some of you soon.
