I am so proud of myself…I am only a beginner and today I went to Target and spent $104.00 before coupons, after coupons my total was $81.00. WOW! A friend told me about the site, surviving the stores…I didnt know you could stack Target coupons!!! I am so excited! I am going to do even better next time~ I am so thrilled I saved $25.00!!!

Hey Andrea!

We haven't had any issues with the Magic Jack so far, but if we do we will definitely look into Ooma. $250 is a lot to pay up front for the Ooma, but better than a $50 a month phone bill.

Hopefully the $20 a year service with Magic Jack will continue to work out well for us!

I too love your site. I just started couponing a few months–this month I bought $1228 worth of groceries and drug store items. I was only out of pocket $220 but once I receive my rebates I will make $168–I am amazed. I appreciate your site for helping me save money.

One thing I saw you talk about is MagicJack. We switch over to Ooma. It has been great. A few people we know had trouble with Magic Jack so that is why we went with ooma. Also, you don’t have to leave your computer on. You have an initial investment but then phone service is FREE. Just thought I would share this with you.

Hi Alyssa!

I think it’s good to be suspicious of online offers. There are definitely some that are scams. What I try to do is filter through everything for you and only post the offers that are actually legitimate. Here is a post I did a while back about how swagbucks works: http://www.survivingthestores.com/2009/01/how-to-splurge-with-swagbucks.html

What exactly is swag bucks? I’m wary of it because of all the scams I’ve seen…
I researched it online and it seems legitimate, but I haven’t gotten very much information about how it works, and I’m just suspicious by nature.

I found you through the Grocery Gathering a couple months ago and greatly enjoy your blog. It is one of my absolute favorites! Top notch! I like the layout and the fantastic deals you find. I do not live in the D/FW area, so I didn’t get a chance to see you on the news. Congrats anyway! I wish I could see it! Maybe I will search for it…..

I have been using a few other coupon sites since Oct 2008 and I have to say I am now addicted to finding deals. I came across your site a few weeks ago and it is now my favorite! I was watching the news tonight and saw your interview! You did great. Just wanted to say I love your site and thanks for all of the help to make saving money easier.
