| Tips for Members Did you know....AFC's Trading forums are a great place to meet new friends, jump on a coupon train, and find new homes for those extra coupons that you can't use! Don't know where to start? Begin by creating a wishlist of coupons that you can use. Once your wishlist is created, you can find directions here that will help you link your wishlist to your username. Having a wishlist is very helpful to other members that wish to trade with you! You can also create ISO and FSOT lists by using AFC's Coupon Database to search for coupons and then selecting those coupons and adding them to your lists! Once you start trading, please remember to leave trader feedback for the members that you trade with. Feedback is the best way to let other members know about your trading experiences and to keep our trading forums safe for everyone! You can leave feedback by clicking on the trader rating under someone's username or visiting their profile page and clicking on the feedback tab. It is also important to include your AFC username with any trades that you send, so that others can leave feedback more easily for you! We hope you'll stop by, and start building your coupon supply today! Many members often ask why their thread does not show up in New Posts or Today's Posts. When you post something, it will not show up as a new post for you until someone replies. Without a reply, the post is not actually a new post for you, because you have already viewed it. Hope that helps, and thanks to everyone for sharing their great deals and participating in the AFC Community! Hot Deals and Contests Calling all Target Shoppers!!

| Member Spotlight This month's member spotlight features marfla. Here's what she has to say about AFC, couponing, and finding deals: 1. How long have you been a member of AFC? I've been a member of AFC for two years now. I don't know what I did before I had AFC! 2. How many family members do you shop for? I shop for three immediate family members, but I actually stockpile for 14 extended family members! 3. When did you begin using coupons and why? I've always clipped coupons from the time I was a child, but started what I call "mega-couponing" when the economy started collapsing 2 years ago. 4. How has AFC changed your shopping habits? Oh boy, where do I begin? It has saved me tons of money, and made what we do spend, stretch so much farther! We are able to buy quality food and stockpile it now, too! It has been a tremendous blessing for me and all my family members. 5. What is your favorite feature of AFC? If your talking about a technical feature, I'd probably say the coupon database. But my favorite general feature would be the quality of the people who gravitate to this site. They're compassionate and so helpful to each other. There's a real sense of community here! 6. Can you share one tip for members new to AFC? I would say to start with your grocery store's forum and learn what your store's policies are for couponing, for instance do they accept BOGO's, etc. Food is a basic we have to have to survive, so I think you should start saving there first! 7. What was your favorite all time coupon or sale? I have two actually! I loved the free Bounty paper towels and the free Pampers wipes. 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's the best place to be if you want to save the most money and the people here will always help you do that!
