I am embarking on a new adventure. I find since Extreme Couponing became huge, the ability to coupon and get big savings had dissapeared. Within the first year of my couponing I did get big savings but then brand by brand, store by store they started to put their foot down and put a stop to big hauls, and shelf clearing. It's the few that really ruin it for everyone. Now if you want to hit the jackpot on any sale you need to hope that a store has overlooked something and you picked it up. Good example of this was Shoppers had a huge point redemption weekend. Little did they realize they also had a chocoloate bar on sale that was a big points earner. At the end of the day people used points to get chocolate that earned more points and the cycle continues. The next day Shoppers drug mart realized this and squashed it very quickly.
On to my new adventure. My boyfriend and I are starting a business together. I know it has nothing to do with couponing, but I am going to be as cost effective as possible and try to find the most afforadable ways to keep the business in operations, and be able to market this company. Already I managed to tweet my way to win 1000 postcards that we are going to use to market our services. By watching youtube I managed to design and put our website together saving us about $500 in web design fees.
Please spread the word and check out our company and my new adventure.
