CIC Position on Extreme Couponing

Anna — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 16:40:01 +0000

I can see where they are coming from… May 5, 2011. The Coupon Information Corporation (CIC) expresses our great disappointment with TLC’s current series, Extreme Couponing, and hereby offers our expertise and other assistance to TLC and Sharp Entertainment (which produces the show) to enhance the program with more accurate and realistic information. In addition, [...]

Afraid to buy Hot Pockets!

Anna — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:23:33 +0000

I was looking at some of the coupon counterfeit notifications over at the Coupon Information Corporation and saw some that really blow my mind. I have some Hot Pockets coupons that look almost identical to the counterfeit coupons that are evidently floating around now. The coupons I have are $1.00/4 and $1.00/3. I printed mine [...]

It isn’t a stockpile, it is my pantry

Anna — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:58:08 +0000

Using the term “stockpile” makes my skin crawl. It seems really creepy to me to have a stockpile of groceries and household goods. Do I purchase a few extra items when items I normally use are at rock bottom prices? You bet I do. I’ve always kept a well stocked pantry and now that I’m [...]

The Coupon Maven – my new website

Anna — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 17:09:07 +0000

Okay, here is another website of mine that probably won’t ever get off the ground: The Coupon Maven. Who knows? Maybe I’ll stick with this one.

Have nice looking comments in WordPress

Anna — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:13:22 +0000

I don’t know why people continue to have such ugly comment pages when it is SO simple to set WordPress to add a unique avatar to everyone’s comment. For users without a custom avatar of their own, you can either display a generic logo or a generated one based on their e-mail address. All you [...]

Coupon classes? for real?

Anna — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:04:08 +0000

I understand there are different types of people and personalities in the world, but who in the world (with access to the internet) would need to attend a coupon class? All you need to know how to do is READ. lol I’ve only been using coupons for the past few weeks and I’m not saying [...]

Yowser… I’m glad to see my favorite stores are not on this list.

Meatless Chili and Rice

Anna — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:39:18 +0000

I ran across this recipe the other day so I’m saving it here to try it sometime this week… I’ll have to pick up some basil and cumin if I want to make it right… To make it you mix all these ingredients together, bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes… Serve with about [...]

Walmart adds new twist to price matching for 2011 Christmas season

Anna — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 15:44:14 +0000

If you purchase something at Walmart (excluding groceries) between November 1 and December 25 but see the same item at a lower price elsewhere, just bring your original Walmart receipt and the competitor’s print ad to Walmart and get reimbursed in the form of a gift card. As always, I don’t plan to do much [...]

“Coupon” is a verb?

Anna — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 14:18:43 +0000

Nevermind, I know why and how “coupon” became a verb, but it does seem strange to me at times. Hubby and I went to Publix yesterday and got several good deals. Our total before coupons was $64.08. This included $2.89 for Nabisco Crackers that the checkout guy rang up twice by mistake. I called the [...]
