My favorite memory...

the joy on my face the day I found afullcup!

[siriradha]

My best AFC memory is checking out at Walgreens, getting a whole bunch of stuff we really need, paying $1.43 OOP and getting back a RR for $2...

AND THEN, the cashier saying, "Gosh you did really well! I wish I knew how to do that!" And then (the best part) handing her an AFC referral card and telling her about this website.

It makes me happy to realize that my cashier not only thinks of me as someone who knows how to legally save money with coupons, but also that this is a gift I can share so that other people can learn the same!

I joined AFC moments after I found the site because it is the "Gateway to the Coupon World." When people ask me about couponing or comment on my deals, I always refer them to afullcup.com... As a mother of 5, 3 of which are triplets ~ I only wish I had found your site alot sooner. Thanks AFC for educating me on the use of Coupons ~ a scenario on this site is where I found that There are FREE things in this world, you just have to know where to go get them...

My favorite memory about A Full Cup is that it is a coupons saving site made up of real people with real hearts helping each other save in tough world where every little bit helps

My favorite memory is the day that I asked my hubby if I could join the site and become a supporting member. I had been using the site for several months & getting almost all of my deals here. He looked at me and said "Absolutely! We have saved so much money because of A Full Cup, it is only right that we support them as much as we possibly can." It made me very proud to know that not only does my Hubby appreciate how hard I work to save us money, he also knows how much I depend on this site. You guys ROCK!

One of my favorite memories on AFC is when I conducted a train called, "The Conscientious Couponer." For about 1.5 years, we had very little turn over on the train and the members became like family. We would hope on at various times of day and talk about our family, shopping experiences, etc. until we felt that we all knew each other! I really loved the friendships that developed on that train!

My favorite memory is finding the site and stumbling upon the Walgreens forum and the weekly/daily posts from Sleepy832. Her posts helped me so much with all her scenarios and "this is how I roll" weekly posts. I remember how open everyone was with their trips. I have since moved on to CVS but I will always remember how fun it was to Wag back then.

My favorite memory is discovering "Jennifer's Corner" in the Home forum and how much of a difference following the Fly Lady's baby steps has made in our home! It is amazing how much encouragement and support people give in that thread! My home is so much more organized and clean now thanks to the help and encouragement of some wonderful AFC ladies (and gents)!!!

My favorite memory is knowing that I have saved money by joining this group. Also great people are willing to share to help everyone save money.

My favorite memory was my first shopping trip with coupons! It was to Target, and I felt like I saved a million dollars....and then I wondered how I ever shopped before!
I still remember what I bought! It was during Target's Bulk Savings Event....the 2 pack bottles of Mr. Clean were on clearance and I had a B1G1F coupon....I know the savings could've been better, but just the thought of getting 1 pack for free....made me feel like the BEST MOM & WIFE EVER!!
Thanks AFC, you have truly helped my family!

[babyfordawn1983]

My favorite memory is finding Tazzy's Corner! I loved being able to chat with all my fellow PIF ladies and even though I am not there as often as I use to be I still think about them often!

[Jennessy143]

My favorite part about AFC is the CVS Forum I remember when I didnt have a stockpile and now thanks to AFC and all its wonderful members it is large and still growing! Thank you AFC I dont know where I would be without you or your wonderful members!!

[mom_2_3]

I started using afc because my husband and I both lost our jobs so I wanted to learn how to save money....and man did I...thanks to afc and all it's wondeful members

[savingmamaof4]

My favorite memory was from the first Black Friday Sale after I joined AFC. I read everyone's scenarios on the CVS forum and then I got up and went out really early on Thanksgiving morning to execute "my plan"! It was so exciting to get all of that stuff for FREE! I can't believe I never knew you could actually get things for free from CVS. I always said CVS was too expensive before I found AFC. I tell everyone about AFC (even the lady in the checkout that morning in CVS!) I even took a photo of all of my free items with my daughter in the middle.

Favorite AFC moments:

My New Year's Resolution this year was to have a company-ready home. Right about the same time that I started on my goal, I found Homemaking Tips - Jennifer's Corner (HERE). It was a HUGE help to me to have a whole support group! I learned so much from everyone.

I also love the coupon train I'm on!

I <3 AFC - I have made so many great friends and have learned so much!

my favorite memory has to be when i discovered the rite aid forum and how helpful everyone was.

[alp421]

My favorite memory was last summer when I first got started and ended up getting two BIG bags of Starburst for 74¢ because of a CVS thread and thrilled my 9 year old son. He has been my biggest cheerleader ever since!

[galitcoupon]

AFC is my go to website/I phone app before I leave the house everyday to see what deals are going on! I LoVE It!

[baybeenurse]

My favorite memory was finding Beckybac's PIF..It felt so good to be part of a group of such wonderfully generous, thoughtful, upbeat!, and compassionate ladies..she totally turned me on to pifs and swaps..my first swap was sending goodies in a 2 liter bottle, so creative and fun!!!! Miss her!!!

[staviles]

I have been a member for what seems like forever and decided that this forum was the most organized and best formatted website around to help me save money (long before EC came out) and my favorite part of AFC was the Friday night chats that we would have in the chat room, it was a nice group of about 15 people and others who streamed in and out and gave us a chance to catch up on real life apart from money saving...the original gang all went their separate ways and I couldn't see ever leaving AFC, but I will always remember the Friday night chats fondly, as well as the Secret Santa group that I was blessed to be a recipient and pass it forward of. Great website with awesome members.

[sheena_h]

My favorite memory was when I went in CVS and spent less than $5 oop. I used to spend alot more out oop.

[makinitworkwith5]

my favorite memory is when I found others who wanted to stockpile and save money on items that we use everyday. I was so excited to see the pictures from others... it gave me the staying power to keep trying when the going gets tough.
Thanks to all the wonderful moderators who keep this site friendly and warm and so full of information!!
