Mom Interviews

I have seen this woman on TV and I have a membership to her website. I can't believe she is getting the exposer she is getting. First of all, Yes, she is the founder (well she put up a website) called how to shop for free. But people act like she inventented how to save money by matching coupons up with sales. COME ON!! This method has been in practice for a long time. Has anyone read the Tightwad Gazette???? This woman has just taken it to another level. Is it a good level. I guess, if this is the only way you can feed your family. There is NO way she is feeding her kids quality meats and fresh produce every week for what she says she spends. What gets me is these shows that feature her go with her to the store and she shows a few tricks like buying 1/4 of a pound of meat to get it for free. How many is she really going to feed with 1/4 pound of meat?? and then they go to the check out where her total is something like $250 and after coupons she gets it for .01 cent?? What they don't show you is what she buys. It would be more realistic if she showed how she was going to feed her family HEALTHY, WELL BALANCED meals with just what she bought. This is a crock. If she really had a new kind of concept for saving money, she'd write a book. And as far as her website goes, save your dollar. It is very unorganized, the only thing she adds to it are things those of us who aren't rookies have known for years and it is powered by the users. If it weren't for the users, she would have no site because she doesn't add much. There are so many other websites that will teach you so much more about saving money. There are also alot of books you can get from the library that will teach you more. This website is a joke. Don't believe me, just sign up and see for yourself.

good day. iam Ms. Young -Dawkins, twenty, living in brooklyn is like a chore. most of the store let us use up to one cupon, or they say its a sale. a cupon a customer. most of their cupons say it so how can i shop for free or little to nothing. especially with my bunndle of joy on the way and college things needed, not desired? Please let me know.

Hi, I Iive in San Diego Ca. Iam interested to learn how to save money for my husband and my kids

I got in a major argument with Acme Market in the suburbs of Philly because they said my coupn can't exceed the price of the item. They made a fool out of me and threatened to call the police if I didn't leave the store when I insisted on using my coupon. FORGET ACME!!! DO NOT SHOP THERE!!!

I have been a member of this group for over a year. I can not begin to tell you how much money I have saved! Just an example--before my son potty trained, I was able to stock up on 8 months worth of diapers for about $30...if that. I never bought diapers again before he potty trained. That was just the beginning. My membership is up this month and I will most definately renew. I have never had problems with hackers or anyone from the group/owner being pushy or trying to "rip me off." That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard about this group! Kathy, the owner seems to me to genuinely care about helping people learn to save money...and LOTS of it!

I have been a member of How to Shop For Free for about 6 months now. I never experienced any problems with my yahoo email. I was reluctant to join the Big Tent group when I found out I had to pay for it but it's only $1 for a basic year's membership (if you want to be able to advertise it's $12 a year)...I have never been more happy to spend $1 in my life! I have learned so much even though I wasn't new to couponing & stockpiling when I joined.

As for beanpole2006...check out the follow up to some of her ratings on ebay as both a seller & a buyer, that about says it all.
