The AFC Mod Team is growing! We recently welcomed many new moderators to the team. Please join me in welcoming onlymadaresane, princesspsu57, philomena83, jessl, Jeannemc, and A20SomethingMother as the newest AFC Mods! All of these ladies have shown their dedication to AFC in the past as Forum Leaders, and we are thrilled to have them on the Mod team!

We are always working on new ways to make AFC even better! In the FSOT forums, we have made it easy for members to update their posts when items for trade are no longer available. Members now have a "dead" button next to the reply button in their FSOT posts. Just click that button to move your post to the FSOT Graveyard, and help us keep our trading forums current.

AFC Tips....

Tips for Members:
Did you know that you can use our Coupon Database to add coupons to your ISO or FSOT lists? When you search for coupons, you can select a coupon by checking the box next to the coupon description. You can then choose to add or remove the coupon from your ISO list, FSOT list, or Coupon Box. Many members have had questions about selecting coupons and then printing those coupons. You do not need to select a coupon to print it. All printable coupons in the database have a bold title. If you want to print a coupon, just click on the bold title to be taken to the print site for that coupon.

Another common question from members is how to post a deal in our Hot Deals forum. In Hot Deals, only a member of the Mod/Admin team can post a new thread. If you would like a deal to be considered for this forum, please post it in the appropriate forum and then report the thread to us. We will review the deal and move it if needed!

Featured AFC Member

This month's Member Spotlight features danielephant. Here's what Daniele had to say about couponing and AFC!


1. How long have you been a member of AFC? I have been a member since March of 2008.

2. How many family members do you shop for? 2 adults and a 19 month old

3. When did you begin using coupons and why? in march of 2008. I had just become a mommy and wanted to stay at home with her and still make some strides to "increase" our income---wish I would have found AFC while I was pregnant!

4. How has AFC changed your shopping habits? I am the cheapest and the most product rich person I know! I have multiple name brand products stockpiled at a time, that I would not have even thought about buying before coupons, because I thought they were too expensive...I was an off brand girl! NOT ANYMORE!

5. What is your favorite feature of AFC? First of all, I LOVE having all these wonderful people at my fingertips to ask any questions that I may have, and second, I am very thankful for the forums and the coupon database.

6. Can you share one tip for members new to AFC? Buy small to save big! Buy the smallest size product (allowed as stated by the coupon)- buy multiples of that product, because with the coupon it will be cheaper to buy 2 smaller ones then 1 big one!

7. What was your favorite all time coupon or sale? My favorite coupon...WOW great question...HARD one to answer too! All You magazine had a set of Kraft coupons last year that would give you a free product wyb 3 other Kraft products (Wheat Thins, Kraft Cheese, Crystal Light, etc...). Anyway thanks to these smart AFC'ers, I quickly learned that Kool-aid was a Kraft product and that I was able to buy 3 Kool-aid packets (that were on sale at Meijer for 10 cents each) and obtain a free item. At the same time of this sale, Meijer was also running a deal if you bought $10 of Nabisco products you got $10 off Hanes underwear or socks.... SO after buying 5-10 All You magazines---totally worth it! I would buy 20 Kool-aids, 4 packs of Nabisco, and 3 packs of socks and paid MAYBE $4.00 total!

8. If you were trying to get someone to join AFC, what would be the most important thing about the site that you would tell them about? It is free, and that is not the only thing you will get free if you join...you will need a bigger storage space cause you will be RICH with product!!!!
