This contest was inspired by a thread that Sati769leigh started this morning.
So I thought it would be great to hear other members stories on how WUC has changed your life!

So how about everyone show what WUC is all about!

I look forward to hearing from each and everyone one of you.

My Coupons are my American Express Card - Don't leave home without them!

WUC is about many things to me. The main two things are: WUC has opened my eyes to a world of savings and friendships, and what more could a person want?

It's also a wonderful place to come and share topics, to rant or rave, to vent, to listen, to help each other out, that is what it's all about.


Thanks for reading!

I believe in Santa!!

I think the thing that I enjoy most about WUC, is it allows me to help others in my area more than I'd be able to if I didn't coupon. Food banks and shelters have had their donations go down drastically this past year when the economy tanked, while people needing their services have gone up. I cut out each and every coupon whether or not we use the item, because I know sooner or later a deal will roll around allowing me to pick those things up to help someone else out.

My cupboards, shelves, and closets are all full right now with everything imagineable that we could possibly use. Everything was obtained by using matchups posted here and bought for pennies on the dollar. About a month back I started putting every penny I saved using coupons into an account we opened up. In one months time that account already has over $700 in it to be transferred into cd's each time it hits a set amount. WUC is going to help me retire at the beach someday!

The people that post ad matchups here do such a fabulous job! I always know what will be on sale at the stores I shop at a week or two in advance and am able to find any extra coupons I need ahead of time.

You just cannot beat how supportive everyone here is to each other! Not just for couponing related issues either, but really anything imagineable.

WUC rocks!!! I love sharing information with everyone, asking questions and getting honest responses. I really like this site and people here make you feel very welcomed! WUC rocks!

Also, WUC has uncovered some amazing deals for me! Again, helping the bottom line - especially seeing that I am currently unemployed, lost my job back in May! So every little bit helps!

Thanks!

I hate to said it but she said it all for me also.


CAn we split the gc

Thanks to WUC..I have a "FAT" purse now..Full of coupons....Before learning about this site, I was wondering how my family was going to make it..Gas was going up, Grocery were going up, and the job market was down..I was trying to decide how i was going to go back to work and be able to afford daycare just to help DH with the bills..then i seen Mr. Coupon on the news and he was talking about all this free stuff he was getting even grocerys..and that was my light bulb moment.."Coupons"..So i wrote the web addy down..and thought i would check out the site..I was a lurker for a while then i decided to join..Boy was there a lot of reading and learning..I didn't think i was ever going to catch on..and now 9 mnths later..I figured out that I could get milk from CVS with ECBs, Canned goods from Wags with RR and not pay anything out of pocket for them..I think that is amazing..Looking back i wonder just how much money i was literally throwing away with those ECBs i would get from CVS..Yes i would throw them away because i didn't know how to use them or what they were for..until I came to this site..So this site has done a lot for me..I am able to find great deals not only for my family but others as well..thats a wonderful feeling when you know you are able to help someone in need or to help them find a deal on something..And to take it a step further..Having stockpile sales has really helped me pay down on some of my debt and even pay some bills off..I would have never thought to do this if it wasn't for this site..So that is a little of what "WUC" has done for me and my family..and i would just like to say "THANK YOU."

WUC is a wonderful place that I have belonged to for almost a year!!

We all know that WUC stands for We Use Coupons , but to me WUC stands for Much more than that!!

W= Wonderful Deals - I have learned about so many deals, ways to save money, ways to make money, etc. I am a SAHM , but I feel like I truly earn an income with all that I save with these Wonderful Deals! I am also able to use the extra things I get to bless others! I absolutely love that I can get things for free that others need and be a surprise blessing to them - Wonderful!!

U= Understanding Friends - This is a place where I feel no judgement. I can share about life and feel understood. Even though I have never met any of you in person, I consider many of you my Understanding Friends!

C= Caring Community. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January as a young 31 yr old mom of 3 little kids. So scary! I had surgery, chemo all spring, and then 34 days of radiation this summer. Some anonymous members of this Caring Community blessed me with a gorgeous delivered floral arrangement after my last chemo. That meant more than you know! I was at my lowest point, and the idea that there was a community here that cared about what I was going through - truly amazing and a God-send.

So, yes WUC does mean We Use Coupons. I believe we are about so much more. Wonderful Deals, Understanding Friends and a Caring Community.

Thank you all for making this place what it is.

Wow~ Look at all the lives touched! Who knew it would start with the simple clipping of a coupon? Couponing has saved more than money.. it has Literally SAVED LIVES!

Last year while Pregnant with our second Child ( surprise) i had NO CLUE how we were going to pay a second Daycare bill and Formula and Diapers! God knew what he was doing when he surprised us with an unplanned pregnancy, because when i was on maternity leave I saw mr. Coupons' story on the news and i thought- "Hey i'll figure this out and give it a shot, what do i have to lose?" Wow- Amazing what can happen to your life in a year! I have never paid for Formula, paid pennies on the dollar for Diapers and not just through couponing have i saved on my grocery bill, but the other avenues it has lead me to has made me enough money to cover daycare and then some.. I.E... Speaking at Churches, Women's Ministry's, Local organizations Doing Coupon Parties AND Teaching at the local college every semester! Wow, Sometimes i imagine how rich i'd be if i didn't have my second child and was saving and making money like this! But God always gives us exactly what we need! Besides, we are taken care of now and i am RICH in My family, friends, and church now! That is all the sucess I need ! ALL BECAUSE OF COUPONS!!!! Nathan found his calling last year, he just has no idea what it has done from the "original 50, to Now over Thousands!!!" THANK YOU WUC!!!!
