I LOVE to shop before work and on my lunch hour. I have started a weekly, daily, and/or hourly mass email. When I come across a deal I feel the need to share so I have started a store in my cubical. It is called "Smokin deals". My coworkers love it.......They usually pay me $1.00 for most items so I end up making a little money on the deal. I had them give me a brand specific list to things that they DON'T EVER stray from. It lets me know if I need to buy several of specific items. I am the QUEEN of the SMOKIN DEALS cubicals!
I have ALWAYS used coupons but have total taken it to another level within the last year. I had no idea that people actually did this all the time.......

Oh, I love the idea of having a mini-store in your cubicle! What a great way to further the couponing fun! Did you bring in a bunch of Garnier this past month?

Wow this is a great idea but I think I would get FIRED for doing something like this.

I do spread the word on what I bring in for lunch everyday and how much it cost me to purchase it. I get a lot of "you're kidding!" replies and I always say it's the power of couponing.
A lot of them are very curious, I explain my strategies, they never follow through with their "I may try that tonight or this weekend". I never hear that they have done it.

The Coupon Mom site and these forums have saved me TONS. I thank each and every one of you who post and to the site managers of CM. I couldn't save like I do w/o ya'll.

Happy shoppin and savin everyone!!!!!!!

I would LOVE to get paid to shop! I'm working on figuring out how to make that happen.

Looks like we're all doing well thanks to this site.

Ok I don't know if I got this right but I think my overall total would have been 192.09, I added up all my prices listed on my receipt and i paid $6.46 OOP in January. I had already listed what I bought, its under the CVS drugstore section. Don't know how many ECB I started with but I have 27 right now.

I am also unemployed, since October, and VERY bored!!
