P. J., Where in the world do you put all the free stuff you get? Why haven’t you been featured on Extreme Couponing (or maybe you have...)?

Happy New Year to all DUFUers and especially our fearless writers! I think this year will net us some great gnashing of teeth over at the DUmp and some of the most anticipated pings to date! (well, excluding the highly anticipated 24th business hour of Rove’s indictment!)

One of the places I put my free stuff is right in FRONT of me right now since this computer from which I am posting this I got FREE back in 2010 via coupons. BTW, I HATE that Extreme Couponing show. First of all the stuff they do on that show is fairly easy. Just find a deal for something free like mustard and then buy like a 20 year supply of mustard. All that show did was make it harder for all couponers since many stores cracked down on couponing. However, I have worked out methods to bypass their roadblocks. And why would I want to reveal my secrets on Extreme Couponing? Like if I revealed how I got my computer free, the chances I could repeat that performance in the future would be somewhere between NIL and NONE. Oddly enough, a few days ago my brother who is not at all into couponing, inadvertently revealed to me how to get steep discounts when staying at hotels/motels.

Below is one recent haul from about a couple weeks ago. I believe I paid something like 12 cents for all this stuff. Hard to remember, because since the end of November I have picked up over $500 worth of stuff like this at WAGS for FREE! BTW, jug in background is antifreeze:

Another recent haul which include b&w and color inkjet cartridges. This was much better than FREE since after I paid a few cents out of pocket, it generated $10 back in the form of Jingle Cash which you can see in pic. I subsequently used the Jingle Cash in another transaction. So basically I got paid $10 to get all this stuff FREE:
