only been following a couple days, but have been frequenting your blog for a few months!
i loved your chicken stock/broth tutorial, it was your post the first time i looked at your blog, now i'm hooked! it was such a great idea...done it a few times now and have been asking myself, why i didn't think of it earlier!
I'm a follower.
My favorite tip is when I went to your class I learned: When there is a five in the beginning of a series of numbers at the bottom of the coupon it doubles anyway. Even if it says do not double. If there is a nine it does not double. The other thing I learned is charity with the rain catchers. We can do something to impact others in a profound way.
I am a follower - have been for months
I have been following for about 6 months!
In your coupon class, I finally figured out the trick to rolling coupons at Walgreens - and when NOT to do it so you get another RR! Thank you!
I have been a follower since I attended your class on 3/21/2009.
My favorite tip from class was about Meijer Mealbox coupons. My favorite tip from your blog was when the dishwasher soap coupon was going to be in the paper so I could snag multiple copies.
I just put a link to your giveaway on my blog that was finally restored this morning after being deleted for 15 days!

I've been a follower since I went to your class this past summer.
The best tip I took from your class was to acquire multiple Sunday papers, so I can have coupons for each person in the house. I've really been able to stock up on items that we use daily.

I have learned so much from the tuesday tutorials, LOVE them!

My favorite tip is the idea of stockpiling all together. I almost freaked out yesterday thinking I ran out of ketchup but I had a bottle in the back of pantry and I know I got it for $1!
I'm a loyal follower!
Your chicken broth tutorial has changed my life!
OK, it's just changed the way I deal with chickens and chicken broth, but it is awesome nevertheless! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I've been following/stalking you for about four months now. :)
Your muffin tutorial was wonderful. I plan on making them today. So simple and easy. :) I am very excited.

Hmmmmm....one thing I have learned exclusively at sharpenyourscissors is how to be polite but firm with Target :) I called corporate a few weeks ago from my cell phone in honor of you (and won!)!!!! :)
While I love all your tutorials my fav. so far has been the chicken/stock trick! Thanks!
The best trick I learned is a very obvious one, but so helpful...to wait for a sale and stockpile! Why did I not think of this before???
Hi Laura! I must admit, I've been gleeming insights from you for a while. I've been meaning to thank you for your Chicken Chili recipe for quite some time now. Thanks! We make it often! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Faithful follower!
I really liked the tutorial on making chicken broth. I still have some frozen and the chicken was grear for a casserole I made. I will definitely do that more often.
I have been a follower for several months. I love your blog!
A favorite tip from your blog is using Meijer mealbox coupons to maximize my savings.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog!!! THANK YOU for blessing our family!!!
I learned how to make YUMMY cranberry relish. It was a hit at Thanksgiving!
I have been following for a few months now and am hooked!
My favorite tip is to shop at Meijer in the evenings (8-9pm) when the crowds are less and they put out the clearance produce cart AND they drop the price on the all the deli lunch meat! I love it, those tips alone have saved me TONS of money!!!
I also linked this page on my blog. Thanks so much!

Favorite tip to save money... If an item is on sale B1G1 and you have a B1G1 coupon- you get two for free!!!
I'm a follower!! My favorite tip I've learned from you is homemade stock!
Faithful follower/stalker. :-)
It's really tough for me to narrow it down to one favorite tip from SYS...probably the posts about the reduced produce cart at Meijer.
I've been an avid follower for two months now, and have been loving it! Thanks for introducing me to your blogging buddies too - lots of great resources!
I've got some time off the next few days, so I'm going to try some of your recipes. I'm looking forward to the croutons : ) Thanks for always having new things to help us out!
I'm a follower for a couple of months now.
I *just* subscribed to your RSS feed :)
I learned a casserole recipe that involves potato chips!
What is not to love?
I've been a follower for about 3 months now.

I like how I've learned to use the Meijer mealbox coupons in addition to manufactures coupons and sale items. Very crafty.......!
Found you through Macomb Money Savers a few weeks back, and now I'm a follower!
I have been reading your blog for a few months but just became a follower!!
I posted about your giveaways on my Facebook.
I love love love your Tuturial Tuesdays, especially the chicken stock tip. It is so simple, affordable and tasty.
I really like all of your Thought Provoking Thursdays. I always learn (or think about) something that I didn't know before. I think my favorite so far was from 11/12/09 about using too much of something. I haven't been using as much toothpaste, dish soap, body wash and laundry soap and the smaller amount is working just as good as the larger amount! It's fantastic because its another way to save money!
I'm a follower. Have been reading for months and months.
My favorite tip is learning about the Kroger in Howell that doubles coupons up to $1. I never would have known ... and it's not too far out of my way to make a trip every other month.
I have been a follower for sometime now.
One of my favorite tips that I learned from you and your blog is that you can use a MF with a Store coupon, what a savings!
I blogged on FB
I have been following with my wife for a while now, and just signed up a couple months ago
mikecpohl@att.net
One of the best tips we learned was that we can use Store coupons with MF coupons.

I've been following your blog since this past summer.
I learned from your class that you can reverse coupon. If you leave a coupon at home, you can get them to credit you for that coupon purchase on your next visit to the store. no more double trips or Oh I missed that deal!
My favorite tip from class is just how to effectively organize my coupons so that I know where to find them when I need them....
ksweatland3@aol.com
my favorite tip-put cream soup in with shepherd's pie, i usually only put in tomato...it makes a world of difference
i've been staking for a while but became a follower yesterday
I've been looking for awhile but became an official follower. (thought I already was, but yeah for another entry for the giftcard!)
My favorite thing you've given me is the realization that sometimes, because I get things so inexpensive or free, that I can tend to be wasteful. It has helped me check myself lately! Thanks!
Just updated on twitter!
Among a lot of other things, I learned that you can stack Meijer Meal Box coupons with MF coupons from your blog. Thanks!
I'm a follower!
Been following for awhile....attended a coupon class and have been saving $$$ for about 4 months!!! I love being thrifty and having the extra $$$ in my wallet!!! Thanks!!
Been following since summer.
I'd have to say the secret language of coupons... 5 codes will double automatically!
I posted your giveaway on my facebook page.

Following since May! :)
My favorite tip was the one about double BOGO...it happens rarely, but when it does... ka-CHING! :)

Hi Laura,
I'm a loyal follower! Love your blog.

Ok, my absolute favorite tip I've learned (and I've learned a lot) is about scanning my CVS card in the store's scanner when I enter. I've earned several $5 off coupons that way...awesome tip!
Thanks,
PAM
