Don't know if anyone will read this but through Mars Free Chocolate Fridays program I received over 100 coupons for a free candy bar. That's just for my house alone. I sent over 300 of the coupons to other people I know. I'm called the candy man in the family. In the earlier Dr. Pepper promotion for the free 2 liter of Dr. Pepper I received over 600 coupons and sent that many to friends.

Through the use of coupons, promotions, and store discounts I've gotten an average of $2,500 in FREE products (food, personal products, and merchandise) a year for the past 5 years. I've had a overage or profit of $1,000 each year.

Thanks man. I didn't get a stupid coupon, but you got 100? Abusers like you really rub me the wrong way.

Dummy, I used their addresses for the promo. Why would I use my address and then send them out, stupid idea. It also gave me another ten or so names, addresses, emails to use for entries which they only randomly verified. As for somehow depriving others from this promotion, Only once during the whole 4 1/2 months of the campaign did I find the site not accepting entries for the promo. I believe that was in the first week of June when it cut me off at about 11:45 P.M. Funny that just changing a letter in your name, street number, adding a letter to it, street, street description, email, etc. would make for a different entry to be accepted. I just did what Mars wanted. Promoted their candy bars but directed the promo to people I knew.

I'll tell you how I made over $10,000 from the old Priceline grocery auction site that they only ran for 10 months. Here's a little bit about the Priceline Webhouse Club from Businessweek back in 1999. If you read the article, the author didn't know about the insider things that worked to further reduce your costs and you actually made a profit. Any store specials or coupons or manufacturers coupons would be deducted from the cost of products and Priceline would once a month give you credit for them in your cash account.

Businessweek said:What a bargain! A huge 13 1/4-ounce bag of Lay's Potato Chips for only $1.74. That's at least one-third off the sticker price. After bidding -- and paying -- at Priceline.com's new name-your-own-price grocery site, I go to a participating Manhattan store to pick up the goods. But there's one problem. The chips aren't there. In fact, the manager says, they will never be there. This store doesn't stock that brand in this size. But perhaps I can get it at another supermarket 10 blocks away. I cringe.
Using his example: Lay's Potato Chips for only $1.74....Retail price - $4.99....Grocery store (Wegmans) had item for Buy One Get One....So I get 2 bags for $1.74....Have coupons for $2.00 off one bag from manufacturer....Use two coupons since I've bought 2 bags even if one is free....Promos from store and manufacturer total $8.99 and I only paid Priceline $1.74 in out of pocket cost. Would get $8.99 credit to Priceline Webhouse Club account at end of 30 days. I made $7.25 to buy the Lay's Potato Chips! When Wegmans had soda (Pepsi, Coke, 7-UP0) on sale for $5.00/3 12 pak cans, they would ring up at $3.99/12 Pak with a $2.33 store discount per case. I could get a 12 case at Priceline for $1.25/case including deposit on cans. I paid out of pocket $1.25 per case....Wegmans gave me credit with Priceline for $2.33/ case and I would get back $0.60 when I returned the cans for deposit refund. $2.33 - $1.25 = $1.08 + $0.60 = $1.68 I was paid to buy the 12 pak of soda! I could get Delmonico, T-Bones, New York Strips for under $0.50 a pound using similar methods. I'd get cereals for family and friends and get paid to buy them, usually $1.00 a box of cereal. I donated over 300 boxes of cereal and many other dry and canned items to the local food bank during this time. Starkisk Tuna and Campbells soups were always winners at Priceline for the food pantry. People were amazed behind me in line. I once bought 66 1# cans of Folgers coffee and was paid $1.50/can to buy them. The cashier had to get the head cashier to approve it and I even got applause from the people in line who asked me for all the details. I had printed out info on small cards to give to people in case they asked because it was so time consuming to answer their questions.

And it all ended after 6 months! I was so sad but perked up when the settlement with attorney general of New York said Priceline had to pay members of their Webhouse Club $1.00 per coin that they had earned from purchases or other promos. I had over $3900 in coins and $150 in cash account. Priceline mailed me a certified check for the total amount a month after the ruling. So it worked out positive in the end but I liked the little quirk of getting bargains this way. This all took place about nine years ago but I remember it like yesterday.

By the way, anyone who reads to the bottom of this; do a search on Google using "making money by shopping at rite aid" and you'll find 93,200 links for making money by shopping at Rite Aid or Walgreen or CVS.

So all the high and mighty around here how I'm hurting them somehow by taking advantage of the offers of stores and manufacturers that are available to them TOO! Thousands of others are doing the same thing and who is the stupid one?

Sweetheart, I've been called worse by much better people but you are the perfect example of Ignorance is Bliss. You still have a nice story. Keep polishing it.
