Default If you are new or even if you aren't

Everyone PLEASE remember this is a moderated forum. Which means if you are new, have a low post count, post a link, or sometimes just because the forum tags it, your posts may go to the moderated area.

So PLEASE help us help you by doing the following:

1) Do not post your thread or post more than once. Pick the ONE appropriate place to post and post it there.....multiples will be deleted. I am here several times a day checking in. Please give us the courtesy of a bit of time. Also if you do not see your post within 24 hours then for some reason it has been deleted or not approved or is under review. DO NOT repost as it will keep being deleted.

2) Help keep things together.....meaning take 2 seconds to do a search to see if someone else has posted the "deal", "coupon", or what not. It is very time consuming for us to keep deleting or merging the same idea or link.

3) If you post an offer take a minute to add the expiration date so we know when it can be deleted. Tons of old posts that cannot help anyone just bogs down the site and makes it harder to navigate for all especially the newer members.

4) Use the forum to help you. Meaning did you know there's a spell check in the top right hand corner when you type a new thread or post???? In the same area is also a place for you to report a post to the moderators just in case things get through that shouldn't. I know I appreciate people taking the time to let me know and I try to send a response so you know I have seen it.

5) OK old-timers what other things should we add here so that people can use the forums easier. How to do such and such etc. Please feel free to add on to this list.


Blessings and Hugs, "Angel"

Instruction on how to use the Search button. I've seen several posts prefaced by "have not seen this posted". I think people need help on searching.

Question New and need help

Hello, I am new to coupons. I have never used them and really want to start. I have been reading comments in the forum for the last couple of days. My question is, when I look at the easy saver for walgreens for example it says $5 rebate if I spend $15 on kraft. Does that mean before or after using coupons? If I spend $15 but have $7 worth of coupons can I still submit the rebate?
I am addicted to the site and really excited to get started.
Thanks

Old timer here! Right now the only thing I can think of to add is when posting a deal, please be sure to add the store/site name as well as your location (if applicable).

Needhelp,
For the Walgreens EasySaver rebates, when it's a required amount to spend, they go by the price that is listed on your receipt. So you can still use manuf. coupons and Walgreens' coupons.

Default I'm a Newbie

I am a newbie here and am looking forward to learning how to save and use coupons. I am from South Georgia. I am originally from New Orleans and moved here 11 yrs ago. I am so glad I did. I live in a small rural town of Nahunta. That is 25 miles from the closest shopping area. I limit my grocery shopping to about 1 a month.

Just joined this site and it seems a little slow compared to some others I've been reading lately. I'm new here but not new to couponing.
Site looks very nice and easy on the eyes too.
