I (along with a couple of my "peeps") LOVE to save money... yes... I'm a "couponer"... I use them AND share them... whenever I make a shopping trip... I typically sit in the parking lot in my van before going in and go through my coupon organizer... plucking the coupons I intend to use... AND... any coupons I may have that are set to expire (within a couple days to a week) and then head into the store... as I am shopping (parusing the aisles) I tuck the "extra" coupons I have onto the shelves (or pull that plastic strip back enough so the coupon sticks straight up in front of the item) and become a "secret saver" (maybe "surprise saver" is a better term?)... I once stuck a BOGO coupon for womens razors on a shelf... and continued down the aisle... when I noticed a Mom and a teenage girl grab the coupon AND another pack of razors... they didn't know who left the coupon... but it sure made me feel good seeing someone get one of the coupons I was leaving... It doesn't take a lot of extra time... or effort (since I only clip coupons for products that I use)... and it makes me feel good knowing I MAY be helping someone else save a little "coin" during these hard times... I've even gotten friends of mine to start becoming "secret savers" too!!! Every little bit helps...

gotta tell ya...that's a very "Christian-like" thing to do ;)
I think if I could come up with a better system for coupons I'd be better at actually using them. I do REALLY well with Gymbucks if you consider those to be a coupon :)

I like playing "Coupon Fairy", too! When Costco has their coupon wallet/passport and there are coupons I don't plan to use, I'll look at people's carts and see if they have a match and give them the coup. Besides, I'm "curious" and love to see what other treasures people are finding! : )
I do that also! I love it. I have a coupon freak as well.
