It's a new month, time for a fresh, shiny new chat thread! Feel free to chat here about anything and everything--kids, pets, deals, vents, or life in general. No topic is off limits in here!

I thought for the new year we could start a new TAN Daily Chat thread...nothing like starting the new year fresh!

Here ya go Kathy--a fresh thread, just for you guys to chat in.

Thought we'd open up a regular chat thread to allow you guys a brand new, sparkling fresh place to chat! 

Go for it!

Very proud of myself havent watched it all season so far but did see the preview for next weeks episode and it looks so funny!!! In the preview they showed a 15 year old kid shopping with coupons and his stock pile. Lol and hes has like 100 packs of maxi pads that he got for free but he doesnt even know what they are!!! Made me giggle!

Anyone use cloth diapers?  If so, what kind did you use and what did you think?

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to get a DEAL on Tickets to the show WICKED starting Nov. 2nd???? Any contest???  Dying to go, but $100 per ticket is steep.

I was shopping at krogers yesterday and downloaded there coupons to my krogers card and when I got to the check out they would not let me use my manufacture coupons for the same item has this always been in place or is this something new?

Curious if anyone has gotten their Advil coupon in the mail from the cards that were in the paper bag 2 weeks ago?

Thought we'd open up a regular chat thread to allow you guys a brand new, sparkling fresh place to chat!

Go for it!

Does anyone know of any up and coming craft shows? I would like to display and sell my homemade wreaths. I figured a craft show would be a perfect opprtunity to sell my items. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks   

I signed up last week to receive a home delivery of the Sunday paper. I opted to have a monthly amount taken out of my checking account, and also to have last week’s paper delivered. It is almost 5 on Sunday, and still nothing. I got an e-mail saying that my delivery would start today. I went onto their website and it said that I hadn't paid yet... but it's supposed to be taken out AUTOMATICALLY!!! I made a report that nothing had been delivered, and it had an option to have it re-delivered until I actually filled out the form, them all it said they could do was refund my money. As it stands now I have missed TWO WEEKS of coupons and I am NOT happy. i am thinking of just cancelling it all together if it's going to be such a hassle! UUGGHHHH!!!! Has anyone else had this kind of trouble? Is this a usual thing with them?? And of course, the customer service left at noon today!

How do you organize your coupons?  Do you go by expiration date? Alphabetical order? By isle? What kind of binder? What works best for you?  

I use an expandable file folder (something similar to this http://www.csnoffice.com/asp/show_detail.asp?sku=UMH1076 ). I also place them in the folder in alphabetical order. Something I’ve found that helps me a TON is that after I’ve clipped all my coupons, I sit down at my computer and I have a spreadsheet of all the coupons I have, what brand, when they expire, how much they’re worth, any restrictions and then I print it out and bring it with me.  So instead of digging through my binder while I’m at the store, I can look on that sheet and know exactly what I have, how many I have, and what they are worth.  It takes some time to enter everything into the spreadsheet, but i find it saves me so much time while I’m actually shopping. Plus, when I get back from shopping, I have to edit the spreadsheet and take out the coupons I’ve used on that particular trip.

So what about everyone else?

Time for a new TAN thread! Feel free to talk about anything you want in here.  Have fun!

Does anyone know where I can find BOGO/half price or good discount coupons for the Cincinnati Zoo.  Planning on going Monday June 13th.

Both Kroger and Rempke still have Powerade on sale this week, but I cannot find the tearpads, supposedly in stores, that offer the buy 10 and get 5 free. Have you seen these anywhere?
