Amorphous02 is the conductor

[Amorphous02]

Scary-cool to be named a conductor. Hope to emulate Flash.
Couponers, please visit:

I am merely summarizing all that i have done over the years *And* what ever i gleaned from Flash's articles.
Please add what ever you can: all this revision helps. It actually saves us money.

AAAH!!
Have to move, and cannot decide if i need to stock up on hamburger helper. I consider it pasta. I buy pasta at $0.25 ...Why would I buy HH, unless its free after coupons?

cannot find HH coupons either.
I give up. Some of these boxes have a$1.00 off of brownie mix etc. couponers, time you stocked up!

Garthbarth1,
Did you get the train packet ?
:-)

[kashi]

Glad to see there's a new thread!

[Amorphous02]

Me twooo!
So happy to be able to post here.

[garthbarth1]

Recd the train this friday (no working computer at home) so I am posting today while on lunch at work-will be going out on thursday. (need to see my list on who I am sending it too!

[Amorphous02]

Happy toknow that garthbarth1.
Here is a request to other members : I wont be settled in until the beginning of Sept. I am hoping that the next "leg" of the journey from "kashi" to me wont be until the 27th.
I dont know where i will be. Hubby has to choose between 3 job offers. Am So stressed out. Am telling hubby that this new job better be good.
Hope i am not causing trouble.
One last request:
I am desperately looking for Enfamil checks. Please help. NGS, Similac.. all very helpful.

[Amorphous02]

Dont see any posts form Flash.
How are you Dr.F? I am a bit worried.

[flash]

I'm here, sort of. Sounds like you have the train under control

Anyone use Good Starts from Nestles?

[Amorphous02]

I Do use NGS, ISO NGS. Dr.F, there you are! Finally!
BTW, garthbarth, I used your coupons for formula. Lord bless you for that.
Does any one have garthbarth's original xtended WL? :-D
Am writing Newman's own for Dr.F
Here is a new technique: Call companies that your train wants coupons from. When everone calls , the member who wants "Sunsilk" will end up with 7 instead of 1!!!

[choclover32]

received train today, will have back out in the mail to flash (who is next on the list) on monday.

have a great weekend!

[wodaking]

glad to see the train is moving. Sorry I lost track when the thread moved. I have a pile of coupons waiting for the next go around already. I may have to just send out some wishlist packets. -L

UPDATED WLs and HaveLists : request for a new thread for quick reference.

May I request that we start an official wish and havelist for trains? this way i can at least check off what i have/give.
Iknow that Dr.F prints the WL and puts it in train envie. I am seeking the most extended kind to be put on the 'net. That way i will never lose it. Thank you for your patience.

(Example:

Dr.F wants organic, newman's own, Dog chews, dog food, biotene and 8th continet among others.
Garthbarth likes sunsilk , yoplait , dannon, smoothies, some hair color brands
I, Amorphous, want organic milk, organic eggs, GM Cheerios, 8th continent , fresh express,( salads) produce, lip color, frozen foods, FORMULA (NGS, Enfamil)

This is a very humble request : disregard it if its inconvenient.
Dr.F, Thank you for the info on Fresh Express!
Heres the link to the thread. I expect it to be more "static" as we geeks call it.

Once its up, I will be able to get many coupons on to the train.
I know to pull all detergent coupons for my train : ALL, Downy, Cheer, Gain etc.

The thread for all have lists is
Coupon Haves

The thread of all wish lists is
Coupon Wish Lists

We've had this up for awhile, but few people post to them. If you have a detailed wish list of more than five items, definitely post there!

TIA

[Amorphous02]

Thank you soo much Dr.F, for all the info., including Fresh express!
NGS: Soo cooool!
Cant wait. Will post there and remove my new thread.
sorry to confuse *Every* one.

[Amorphous02]

I have known about these links for a long while. Will post there. Take care everyone.

[wodaking]

A- I have some fresh express couopns for you, do you want me to send them directly or are you supplied for a while? -L

[Amorphous02]

Wodaking,
Thank you so much. Please hang on to them. I want them at my new place.

Detroit might be giving hubby a great offer ( money wise). They even want to give hubby access to good table tennis clubs etc. Talk about incentives. His best friend ( read snake) is in Detroit. Hubby presented so many good points that i feel he made up his mid last week.
The only apartments available and close to the office suck. ( There is a waiting LIST for the ones *I* picked!)

The surroundings are very ethnic. No maintenance. All other places are taken. Will try to make the best of it. I will surf/blog/work day and night. Hate the apartments already.( read reviews for Drakeshire apts in Farmington, MI at rent.com) WHY WHY WHY ME?
I am very open-minded and fair. My only problem: I cannot stand pungent smells and spend a lot on deodorizers. Hubby likes them because he knows some-one in the Management. They took 1.5 months rent off of a 12 month lease for him! No deposit for his sake. Thats it. I am locking myself in.



I know this much: no $1.00 coupons will be doubled in Detroit.
Take care every one.
Thank you again wodaking. What coupons are top priority for u now?

[wodaking]

Wow, sounds like quite the situation you are in. I know how you feel. My hubby moved us (and two kids) to FL for two winters and we ended up living in a camper in a campground both years. :P I _love_ that we are back in the midwest and a HOUSE.

Anyway, top priority coupons for me right now are suave bodywash or shampoos; I posted other items on the wish list thread. Thanks for asking -L
