When people start referring to your home as a Nuclear Safehouse.

When people ask me if I am saving up for the end of the Mayan calendar.

When you wake up sick and your first thought is "I wonder if they will give me a prescription so I can get another gift card".

YOu know you are addicted to AFC when your regular email inbox has over 1000 emails in it, because you've spent so much time at AFC and not read your emails...

(Family and friends call to say "My emails to you got kicked back... is your mailbox full?"

These cracked me up!

- When your DH automatically sets the alarm for 6am Sunday morning because he knows you have to get up and out to get your deals.
- When your baby's first word is "cu-pon" (no, it hasn't happened yet - but I'm waiting!)
- When you can't make a trip to Target without hitting the juice aisle to look for the elusive 10pk of Minute Maid.
- When your friend and family in real life know and accept that you have mysterious friends online that are referred to as "the coupon ladies" (as in, "well, what do the coupon ladies say?")
- When you fondly refer to July and August of 2007 as "Gerber baby food bonanza at Target".

When you sat on our job during breaks and cut coupons and sorting
when you go to work and your co-workers start handing you coupons
When you start taking the long way home to hit new stores
WHen i first come home and cut he computer on and then do i walk tru to make sure everyone ok
Or when ever i pull up in the yard my ds comes to the door and look for the bags to bring in
Wait until he wakes up i have a car load form wags,kroger, and lowes food store LOL
I left home 2 hours before my shift,work (LOL) 12 hours,did 90 mintues of shopping and online instead of in my bed and have to leave 2 houre early today to go back to kroger before i go back to work. And i have to be to church by 11.00

At work-whenever I don't get a reply on an e-mail I have an urge to reply Bump!

when my 9 yr old dd is getting mad at me when she tries to print bricks( for her Q box) and i ve already printed the max,so she says lets trade or any problem that arises she just says ask the full cup girls they know

[timber945]

Oh my Gosh! This is too funny!

I know I am addicted because I had to read every reply to this question and I can relate to almost all of them.

My son (15 yr old) waits at the door to see what bargains I got today, He wants to take his girlfriend to the movies but wants to wait for me to get back from Walgreens with free movie tickets

my DH says that if we have a hurricane I will be able to feed the whole neighborhood for a week with just whats in the freezer. (he doesn't know that I could also supply them with shampoo, deodorant, cleaners, etc....)

Heres on I haven't seen yet: Your stockpile has spilled over to your car - there is no more room in the house - (I drive a Mini-van) what am I going to do when my van get full?

[kimmyann123]

get a small u haul to tow behind

[Carina]

You know you are addicted when you make your DH run out to buy a cheap printer (my all in one hates coupons.com) so that I can print coupons off of coupons.com hopefully once and for all because I sit here and read what everyone got for free and scream I must have that TOO!!!!!!. I have to wait to the first for my birthday to open it. Meanie.

I think the biggest sign is when you husband stops asking what you spent ( Because he knows not much) and gives up commenting on it! That means that you have made it! It means you don't spend much get useful things and know when to sell or get rid of some of it before it takes over your home!
That my dear AFCers is the day you graduate the day you make you husband speachless!

[fsc]

My 2 cents

1. Not switching off the computer in the evening when I'm done because it takes too long to upload AFC in the morning!
2. Checking AFC even before switching on the coffeemachine or waking the kids for school.
3. Wishing I had an inbox that could take 1000 PM's cause I dont wanna lose any of my friends' addies
4. When I am in the store, taking at least 20 of each coupon I can find, if there is more left for others, thinking, oh xxxx will like this, or xxxxx was looking for this one. Getting loads of coupons for stuff I dont use because I know other people need/want/use them.
5. Getting really grouchy if my DH sleeps in because it means I cant go out to the shops!!!

[bubbsguy]

When you wake up at 5:30am to get papers before you drive 3 and a half hours to pick up DD (spent summer with friends) than shop way to long for school clothes drive another 3 and a half hours home have to stop at grandma's add another hour get home at 11:30 and still have to see new posts on AFC and flip threw at least 5 pages before you go to sleep. Good-night all

[ditzygoat]

I just have one -

When you wait by the mailbox everyday to see which trades/etc. came in the mail, get the envies, and then leave the rest in the mailbox.

[Carina]

OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!! I talked my husband in letting me open my birthday present early (a cheap printer) and I FINALLY am able to print coupons!!!!!!!!!

kisses to the techs who helped me figure out that indeed it was the printer who hated the coupon sites!
