Hi Summer. I'm glad my exciting story is making its way around the community. Good to hear from you.
So where do you get all your rebates or coupons or whatever you use? I always think I should be more conscious about saving money, but I don't know where to start. Let me know! urkissable@yahoo.com
Me, too! That's awesome!
Wow! you really did get some great things free! See you soon!
You are awesome! You are putting me to shame. I just haven't had the time to bargain shop since we've been gone. But you've put the fire back in me. Good job!
I have been cutting the coupons, but have not got into the shopping part yet. I might need some help with learning the ropes .. looks like you are doing a great job .. I might have to get some pointers from you on how it all works.
So I'm curious where you got the mail-in rebates...are they in the store? Just so you know Walgreens has a printable coupon for $5 off any $20 purchase but it's only good for today and tomorrow (http://a1061.g.akamai.net/7/1061/5412/home/www.walgreens.com/images/dmi/hotbuys/080821-3.gif). I'm thinking that would be an awesome deal if I could get some of those free items after mail-in rebate and use the $5 coupon, but I'm not sure if my area has the mail-in rebates. Any ideas?
This is so awesome! Where did you find all the rebates and coupons? Can you email me and let me know?
