Small RAOK turns into HUGE praise!!!!

[scbpooh]

So we went to RCSS today for groceries and noticed a clearance rack with the Kraft PB Honey on clearance for $2. I thought thats awesome with my $1 coupons so we grabbed a couple. Then i see a lady on the other side of the rack grabbing a couple. Since the coupons expire Dec 31 I thought I would pass a few on.

Well... This lady graciously takes the coupons then notices my coupon bag! All of a sudden she looks at me and says "your one of those major coupon ppl, arent you?" I said, Yep all the time! She then proceeds to want to know where I get them all, how do i accumulate so many, ect ect. So i start telling her about us here at SC as well as a few other couponing sites. eg:save, websaver, ect.

Next thing i know shes reaching in her purse and pulling out a business card and says "Call me and we should do coffee. I would love to know more about the how's, where's ect!" So ok I take her card but was kinda leary.

Then we run into her again near the check outs and she says "I gotta ask, what is the best shopping trip youve ever had, savings wise?" I said it depends where were shopping. Here, WM, Target, LD..." Shes says oh so you even watch where all the best deals are?" I say "of course, and instead of bigger shops once a month, I do smaller weekly shops based on that weeks flyer deals!"

By this time this lady was totally and completely under my coupon/deals spelling and wanting to know so much! She had to hurry along but shes said "You have to call me, I need to know more!!!!!!!" Then we parted ways.

I still have her card but Im really leary phoning a complete stranger to talk about coupons and what i do! Ive never came across someone as interested as her!

It felt AWESOME to have someone so interested in it all but a little creepy at the same time!

Great find on the pb!

Cool to find someone also interested in couponing... but I wouldn't be calling a stranger.
Maybe you are braver than I!

We are all strangers at first, aren't we? We would never make friends otherwise. I wouldn't feel creeped out since she asked to do coffee which would be in a public place. You could always go with your DH and have him wait elsewhere so you have an "escape" if she turns into a weirdo

[L-M]

Or you could just talk on the phone. If she is that interested she will have 101 questions for you that you can answer by phone...no creepiness involved. If it were me, I'd love to learn more by phone, wouldn't have to be in person.

know what -I met anna Michele that way(actually from on here) (people at my work were leary)but hey we are good friends(coupon and I go to her house also)I also met a new friend in target we approached each other talked about couponing then met a few weeks later at tim hortons(but of course both women were smart canucks members)

[ColleenMGorecki]

I would call her. What do you have to lose. She gave you a business card and you never know who she is. Maybe she has connections to some really good coupons. You can always block your number if you want, but do call her you might be surprised

[Anna Michele]

Call her, call her, call her ive met quite a few people n the grocery store i always approach them telll them bout sc and tell them to ask for me remember when you first startd all the questions you had i think its a great way to meet new people

[MillieH]

Awesome deal on the Peannut Butter and Lucky you to have this coupon,I never had a chance to find it

[oscarandme]

Oh yes please call her, we have met so many people and all walks of life while shopping. Some just curious and others are in need of knowing. She seemed pleasant to you? maybe bring a friend along to meet her, I understand your concerns but if you have a back-up and meet at like a mall of Tims' and set a time for an hour and see how it goes. But you follow your instinct.
