The following is a forum post that was so good, smart, funny, and TRUE that I bumped it up to the front page! I think it pretty much encompasses what every Super-Couponer feels after their first whirlwind year of shopping smarter! -- Jill

Dear Jill,

How Do I Stop?

I learned so well and saved so much money that:

• My cupboards are jammed
• My freezers are packed
• My neighbors' freezers are packed with my food
• I've worn out my tires from running to the food pantry

Merry Christmas! As another year of Super-Couponing draws to a close, I thought you might enjoy reliving some of the best sales, stock-ups, and photos from 2009...

When you're new to Super-Couponing, many people enjoy keeping track of just how much money they've saved with coupons. I did this my first year -- and not counting the sales cycles lows (the differences in price between regular and sale) - ONLY counting coupon savings -- I saved over $5400 the first year! I've since stopped keeping track in such a detailed form, but I'll never forget how exciting it was to note that kind of savings in a year's time.
