Thank you ! I am new here too... This is all so overwhelming.
Only thing I know for my area is no one seems to do double coupon days... I thought we were doing well by renewing or going to BJ's. Whenever I get a chance at Sunday Coupons it seems most things I don't use... and generics seem to be cheaper. I have better luck writing a company that makes stuff I like and complimenting them on their product.

Welcom to AFC!!!

Welcome! It can be overwhelming at first, but hang in there- it's sooo worth it! None of my stores double either and I still do very well. You can trade the coupons you don't use out of the paper for ones you need, check the FSOT threads or join a coupon train! Good luck!

glad you are here

Whoops! Guess I shoulda started my own thread.. just being a little shy..

the easiest way i learned to get around and be able to navagate is: when i log in i check the box below log in to "remember me" then, hit the button log in. When i get to the home page i then go to NEW POSTS and once that opens, I BOOKMARK that page. (right click on a blank area on that page and choose create shortcut) that will place an ICON on your desktop and so you will only have to click on that ICON to get into AFC You may get this message once you get there "vBulletin Message

Welcome! I know what you mean about this being overwhelming! When I started lurking on this site....I DID NOT coupon at all! Now I am addicted! I cut every coupon I see (because you never know when someone on this board is going to point out a deal that is so cheap....or free.....that I just have to use that coupon I never thought I would). I also have gotten good at whipping out coupons to friends/family/strangers when they mention the need or a product that I know I have a coupon for.

Glad you found AFC!

P.S. sadly....there aren't any stores around me that double coupons either. I have still found the BEST deals on the boards here!

Welcome!!!

thanks!
Gonna have to go to bed.. it was a crazy day... I spent an hour trying to get into my photobucket acct. I thought I knew the password. I have to log in..and I have sent it to my e-mail several times and it is not going there.
