[blparent] couponing, etc.

[Brandy W]

I don't braille each coupon. Sense I need help regardless I ask what is on 
sale like I would anyway, and then I pull out the coupons for the area and 
ask if any of them are the same. It is worth the savings.


"When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping 
them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things 
we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in 
our lives."

>> OK, I am trying this couponning, again.
>> It did not work the first time because I just could not get organized
>> enough and had to have people read me all of the paper coupons, etc.
>> But, now with the internet, things might be different.
>> So, I tried:
>> www.couponnetwork.com
>> and found that when I go to select my stores (during the registering
>> process) I can't. It is not accessible.
>> So, before going any further, I thought I would check in here to see
>> what works for all of you.
>> clean accessible websites, no rebates, Tips and tricks are appreciated.
>> thanks.
