i'm still reading trying to figure out her addition, but it looks VERY interesting.
i THINK she is utilizing gc's NOT as part of her $800 but i'm not sure.
still, it's amazing!

6|2|It does this for me too its odd I start reading something then it shows a blue blank page|sarahjones|s.scottjones@comcast.net|18:54:00|12/28/2008|
Sarah S. Jones 7|3|Yep!|cove|tangle3blue@charter.net|18:58:43|12/28/2008|

8|4|she claims to have a store that doubles up to .50 and store that triples up to .39|couponsnsamples|cpsnsamples@aol.com|09:18:42|12/29/2008|
i have all kinds of stores that doubles up to .50 and one up to $1...but there is not way i could only spend $800 per yr......
i dont think she is counting the GC that she is spending..... 9|5|i also noticed...........|pussecat|pu55ecat@aol.com|09:53:43|12/29/2008|
when she gets ecb's or gc's, or rr's, or sells something on ebay she adds those figures BACK into her spending total for the year.
i have no problem with that, but advertising that you can make it on only $800 a year and actually utilizing more like $1500 are 2 completely different things. kwim?
in any case, she's still a great shopper!
but i bet a couple of us could beat her! lol ;)

10|6|I haven't read to much of it but the one thing I saw|teener|teenerzacsneenee@yahoo.com|10:52:01|12/29/2008|
and it wasn't so much her as the other woman who has the cheap meals I read the recipe for potatoe chowder for $5 that works if your children are lil like hers I feed 4 adults and a 14 year old boy lol it isn't quite the same lol 13|7|The 14 yr old boy counts as 2-3 more adults too when it comes to food consumption! LOL|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|13:24:58|01/01/2009|
"Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy." 11|1|I think $800 cash out of pocket |brainyblonde|brainyblonde@prodigy.net|11:18:39|12/29/2008|
is her goal. She doesn't count "free" money. I wouldn't count it either. Free is free whether it is a coupon, gift card, RR or ECB. I have already counted the $ spent to get those items from my budget, unless I was lucky enough to earned a free gift card to pay for them. KWIM?
I like that she is able to get a lot of food items (and not just HBA) for free or close to it with her sales/coupons and savvy shopping. Since I don't live in the same area and have the same stores, I can't get the same deals, but it keeps me motivated and on the lookout for deals of my own.
