The greatest magic trick performed by The Coupon Whisperer was using coupons to score a FREE Compaq Presario laptop plus remote mouse almost a year ago. That was the event that told me that the only limitation to what one could obtain via coupons was your own imagination.

PING! And anybody else who wants to be placed on The Coupon Whisperer PING list, just let me know on this thread or via FReepMail.

well, if you have too many laptop mice, then send me one.

The example cited is great if you need 6 bottles of Maalox. Who really does....?

Ever try this site? Paid 7 dollars for a $15 coupon on local pizza that I was going to buy anyway. Catch was I have to wait 24 hours to use it. Still the coupon is good til July.

Back in the days when there were double coupons (the manufacturer and the retail store each paid the coupon value), I bought a box of granola bars with a double coupon that were already on sale and the store ended up owing me money. Which they would not give me. I got the granola bars for free, though.

Seems to be that this is akin to gambling in that someone has to lose in order for someone else to win.

In order to score in “extreme couponing,” someone has to pay for the goods that you take home for little or nothing.

There are ethical questions to be considered here.

So, you got 6 bottles of Maalox at 54 cents, to wash down 4 free pizzas? Are the pizzas really that bad? That doesn’t sound like a good deal to me.

Or do you use the extra Maalox for stocking stuffers next Christmas?

We haven’t gone through a single bottle of Pepto in more than a year, so what do you do with it all?

Or is it just a game to score “points”, with the one who “saves” the most by buying stuff they don’t need or use, the annual winner?

[JohnnyM]

do you have a link to how you got the free Compaq? I didnt see it on the blog. Also can you add me to your ping list?

I don’t know what’s more troubling, Peej...your obsession with getting lots of stuff FREE or compulsion with amassing the largest ping lists in FR history...

Here's an interesting ongoing thread on maximizing coupon usage, particularly to get FREE products in the end.

I saw you freepers participating on a thread about the food industry downsizing their containers, but charging higher prices for these reduced products, and thought this project of pj-comix might interest you.

Add me please

I have a relative that has turned this into a sort o fpart time business. In addition to the nearly free stuff, she only shops at stores with store cards that offer bonus cash for purchases. She may walk out of a store with $50.00 worth of stuff which she only paid a few dollars store and an additional $8.00 in store money for future purchases. Then, she takes the non food and non perishable items and sells them at garage sales.
