Elena’s story brings a smile to my face! She did awesome at Pathmark this week, with a very impressive trip for someone fairly new to using coupons. Here’s what he had to say:
When I first started using coupons I was doing it because I had fun and I thought it was amazing how you can get very cheap or even free stuff…me being here in USA for only 3 years and being from a country where we do not have or use coupons (somewhere in Europe). I was pregnant and I was buying diapers on sale to get ready for when the baby comes. My husband did not really liked the idea that I was stocking up on so many diapers and he never told me about coupons (he is from here)! Now he loves them!! Every time he goes to any store…first thing he asks me: do you have any coupons? I discovered LRWC like 5 months ago and I am so happy I did…it’s not only money savings, it’s time savings too!
