Thank you for posting this!

The forum used to be full of people just like yourself!

I think my husband would have a FIT if I got better at couponing. He hates using coupons to begin with because "we're not poor", but is getting irritated with my stockpile... which is VERY small. I am now using all the space in the pantry... that's all!

I have only been couponing for a few months, so the savings you get from using the stockpile haven't really hit the bottom line yet. I think once he notices the lower grocery bill, he will have second thoughts.

Hi Shashahx!

I am in Peyton! My daughter-in-law and I are just getting started so we could use any help available. You said you get 10 papers a week...does that mean you pay for the papers to be delivered or do you have a source like a recycle center?

Nice to meet you!
Tina and Alex

Hi! It wasn't me that started the post or said I get 10 papers a week. However - I usually get 12 -15 as a combo of ones I buy locally an inserts I order online from other regions. Buying papers here - you would get both the gazette and the Denver post. The post usually has more and better Qs.

I live in Rush! We are not too far away! I would love to help in any way I can! I have a link to my Facebook page below as well. I don't post as much as other bloggers but I try .

Hello
I'm in the springs and I'm always willing to learn help is a great thing!!!

[Shashahx]

Welcome rockgurl87!! Just let us know if there is anything specific you need help with. AFC is a wonderful place! If you haven't already - I highly recommend checking out AFC 101 AFC 101 - Grocery Coupons & Deal Forums - A Full Cup and Couponing 101 Couponing 101 - Grocery Coupons & Deal Forums - A Full Cup

They were both very helpful to me! Also, check the forums for the stores you like to shop at (I know our supply of stores is limited here!) for current great deals!!!

[rockgurl87]

Thanks for the welcome, I've been doing this for a year now. I had a binder before it was cool
I love meeting other couponers and learning something, knowledge is power. I watched this site for a while lurking.

[Shashahx]

Ah! A pro well glad you finally joined the site. It's very useful! Not much activity in the Colorado threads - but I am single handedly trying to change that! Lol - welcome any help.

Ahhh if only you lived a few states west! I would LOVE to have the ins and outs from a pro!

[rockgurl87]

Pro ha I agree the Colorado thread needs livening. I just moved back here.

[rockgurl87]

I think in coupling it's always good to network

[Shashahx]

Networking is good. Never been any good at it though, in person. That's why I love the internet. Only place I have time to network anyways! I could seriously use about 15 more hours in every day!

[Fallyn]

I'm up in fort Collins!!

[Stargzr87]

I would welcome any help. I live in Colorado Springs. I have done really well so far and have a ton of beauty items that I got for free. I just can't really figure out the grocery aspect of couponing, which is what my family really needs!

I'm in the springs as well. Actually I live in Rush - but the springs is the only place to work/shop . I do the thread for Albertsons deals for our area - hopefully that can help some. There is a really good as this week that is should have matchups posted for tomorrow. Let me know if you have any questions or I can be of any help!! I'm hoping to organize a get together soon with several of us from the area.

Hi everyone, I am in the Thornton/Brighton area and would love to fins afew couponers to talk with. I started doing this in March dur to being laid off. I have gotten pretty good at it, but I think I still have more to learn. It has become my hobby. I haven't had a hobby in a long time. My grown daughters have started using coupons as well, after seeing me use them. Let me know if you are in my area, I would love someone new to talk to.

[caseytrill]

I live in Colorado and get the post delivered and end up going to Kings to get additional papers, how do you all get all your papers? Would love to know this before this Sunday when all 3 inserts come out. THANKS!

I live in a very rural area. So I have to travel into town on Sunday's to get the papers. I prefer the Post because it has better coupons. However, since I don't usually feel like wasting my gas to drive 45 minutes to get it (and often they are already out, unless I get up at 5 am) - I usually order from online. I get them from the Dallas area and/or Florida. They have better coupons than even The Post does. If I remember I will grabe 1 or 2 of The Gazette (from CS Springs) on my way to work on Monday morning. There are usually plenty of those still left, !

[whitehouse1963]

I have 3 papers delivered to my home. They are 1.00 for each one. So I pay 12.00 a month and get three papers a week. It is cheaper that way and you don't have to go out no matter what the weather is like. If I want more than that I run to Walmart to buy more, they are 1.50 each there.

[caseytrill]

Can you give me the links to the mail inserts?
Thank you both for the input!

One that I have used is wholeinserts.com but it's kinda pricey. Just depends on what you value more. I'm still saving. Usually if you order a week or two behind they are cheaper. Wish I could figure out how to get papers delivered. Seems impossible when you live in a rural area
