Dear
Angela,
Freelancer,
LAURA
reports freelancer, KATHIE says...........
Thank-you so much for your wonderful
newsletters! I have won many daily wins on your site and from the
newsletters. It's so amazing how much money I have saved because of you .
You guys really are the best! I mention your site to all my friends and they
tell their friends, so word is getting out! Love ya all!!!!!
Anjie, I wanted to let you know that what you have here is a "Good Thing." I have been web surfing & looking into other Free sites that are some what like yours. Ok they are nothing like yours but heck I went looking anyhow and this is my opinion on what I have found.
Just to name a few.
1.)They don't have the friendly touch that y'all
do.
2.)They don't have the family/friends like y'all
do.
3.)If you enter a contest or anything else you
have to go through all kinds a bull just to get your name on the page.
4.) then once you actually get to enter the
contest they want you to enter more. & PAY FULL PRICE!! Humm that's
just CRAZY!!!!
5.)They just don't have it all together; missing
links here and there.
6.) Basically it is just boring to look around and
one thing all the other sites have in common is they all looks the same.
I wanted to thank you for having a site that I
enjoy looking at & reading in ever email that I receive. I
really enjoy looking up on what is going on, reading the stories &
emails from fellow Freelancers, taken the time to enter contest &
free stuff (even though I have yet to win something great). It is a real joy
to see the impact you have made on different lives out in the freelancer
world. It's special to know that in here we can friendship with out the
worries that ohh gosh what will they think of my looks. That don't matter here
'cause in here we are all computers with masters that type & show us the
way. Friendships are at times hard to find but, y'all make it easier. You &
Marshal really did a great job. I think y'all should be told more often of
this. Keep up the Great Job. Keep the ball rolling; so to say.
W/ Love from a Fellow Freelancer: Lahia
Have a Great New 2003 Year!!!
I just wanted to say thanks for all these great
deals I have been getting. I got the leather chair deal and I got in on the
Pfaltzgraff penny a plate sale (ordered the "Grapevine" plates) and then when
I received it there was a coupon in the box. I think it was called the Lucky
Seven Sale. Well, they had the dinnerware set ("Grapevine") that I have been
wanting to get for over a year now, but just couldn't bring myself to spend
the money (in the store near me they want 79.99 for a 4 piece place setting).
Anyway, my set was on sale for 59.99 a set (I ordered two) and then I used the
coupon enclosed which knocked off another 27.00!!!!! Total shipped was
108.00!!! WOOOOHOOOOO! Was I ever happy!! Could have saved the 16.00 S&H
charge though if I had a store near me!! :( Oh well.
I also got a great deal from Amazon.com and their
kitchen sale. I bought a great square frying pan (supposedly retails at
95.00) and a chopper for 54.00 (didn't have to pay S&H) and then I will
receive a 30.00 GC for buying over 50.00 in merchandise!
AND--a few weeks ago I lucked out and hit Target on
a day when they marked down a bunch of stuff 75% including Stanley tools
(husband was happy!) and some really pretty outdoor thermometers! I was in
heaven!!
I have always been a clearance shopper ( thanks to my Mom, who's email address BTW is clearanceaisle.xxxx-if that doesn't tell you something right there!!) but you have only helped me to find even more deals, freebies, sample, etc. out there that I never would have known about if it wasn't for your terrific newsletter!! .........thanks for the coupon code for
buycostumes.com. The vest will be here Monday and my wedding will go off without
a hitch on the 20th. ..............thanks once again to your wonderful daily
newsletter I have been able to get everything for our wedding very cheap if not
free. Without you I would have never been able to do it. I have always loved a bargain and thought I was a pro at searching them out until I saw Anjie on the Today Show. I've learned so many extra tips and have saved so much money with the newsletter. I LOVE IT!! Thank you SO much for showing us how to save money and have fun doing it!! I always look forward to receiving the newsletter. Keep up the EXCELLENT work! - Desiree I like your site so much, I went to some boards I regularly post on and read and listed your site, with permission of course. One site did not allow, so I simply said "i know a great site some of you may not be familiar with", and i got emails to send it to them, many emails! They were quite pleased! You help me with your newsletter, so I wanted to help you. If I find more boards to post I will! You are so lucky to have such a popular website. Thanks. Kathleen Anjie note:
I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE MEMBERS LIKE
YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is awesome! hugs to you for
that !
that is so thoughtful of you
.........I am truly touched! :)
hugs

Thank you for your awesome newsletter!
I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you
for your newsletter. I saw your story on the Today Show and have been a
member since. It is the most unique idea I've seen in a while. I appreciate
the effort you put into it and love that a mass audience can take advantage of
company deals instead of a privileged few. Angi, thank you so much for that theme park link. We are avid theme park goers, and that does add up with a family of five. I love your sight and visit EVERY day since I saw you last week on television. YOU my dear are someone I aspire to become like!
A BIG fan,

Just wanted to say THANK YOU !!!!!! I
went through ebates and I have Anjie.
Man oh man, have I
been telling people about you! I can not get enough of this! I
think my husband thinks I have gone crazy! I am printing stuff out,
filling out forms for contest, free stuff, etc., etc. Today at work, I
told all the girls about you, they are as excited as I am. I am on a
constant quest for free stuff, but I never have found the resources that you
provide us through your website! When you write a book, start your own
show, and get rich and famous, or what ever you conjure up, call
me, I will be your personal assistant! I come with great
references. Any way really, you were awesome on the Today show, your
website is awesome and so are you!!!! Keep up the good work!
A new loyal
fan!

WOW,what a neat website.I have joined and could not
pass this one up.
keep up with the great tidbits you give us and
thankyou for making this site
a very resourceful one for us.............darla
I saw you on the today show and I told my husband. This is a woman after my own heart. I really am enjoying the website. I had never considered rebates or contests. Thanks from a fellow bargain hunter, Tammy
I wrote to her after I saw the
segment, and asked how long she had been saving up for that little shopping
orgy -- THREE DAYS, y'all! That's it!! I almost fell out of the chair.
That's all the warning she had, and *still* was able to scare up that kind of
savings. If you have some discretionary income, Anjie can tell you how to
make the most of it! Unfortunately I haven't been able to use her
tips as much lately, due to a rapid and severe *decrease* in discretionary
income :^O (I know you know what I mean!) I lost my job, and we have a lot
of expenses for our dog, Ted, who was diagnosed with cancer almost a year
ago. Hey, a
http://www.giftedlyoutspoken.com/ld/hh.php
vote for Ted as the Net's Cutest Spokesdog might help... nudge-wink, lol.
Otherwise, his daddy has to vote for him a couple of times a week to keep him
from falling off the list! Man can Anjie make Lincoln scream!
Go check out her site -- she has deals, techie advice, all kinds of stuff.
She also has a link to a streaming video of her segment, in case anybody
missed it.

Did you see that they are doing a
special 'Bargain Hunter' series on the Today show this week? I watched it this
morning and they featured a woman who calls herself a 'savings specialist' (I
love that!); they followed her around on her errands for the day... her retail
today was something like 335.00 and she actually spent 16.72! This woman is my
new idol!! I thought I was good when it came to deals and coupons, but I think
I'm an amateur compared to this! I can't wait to see what other deals and
freebies they show this week!
Yesterday I told you guys to watch
the Today show this week
You made me so proud!!! You were
outstanding, and I'm sure you impressed everyone who saw it.
You made us "cheapskates" look so
smart! =) AND - you made it look so easy, which just proves you are a pro.

Thank You, Linda

This is "Bargain Week" on the Today show and they featured a woman who made 10 stops and bought over $300 worth of merchandise for $16. I loved her attitude - very upbeat and funny! pssantry I was very envys (sp) of the person on the today show. I use coupons and get at least one great deal a week to pass on to my friends and family. My friends and family call me the coupon lady but I am not as good as the person on the Today show. I need more lessons. Caryn34

For those who saw the coupon lady on the Today Show
this past Monday..........her name is Angie and there was such a
tremendous response to her piece on the show......the Today Show flew
her to New York City this afternoon and she will be on the show

Angie is my best friend and a great "frugal wonder!!" If you get a chance, check out her live interview....it should be good! Tommi Hi Angie, Wow, Anjie! I saw the segment on the Today Show...it was Hi Anjie- I saw you on the Today Show and what an
Dear Anjie,
My husband watched you on the Today show this morning while I was
sleeping and wrote down your web site information for me knowing
what a bargain shopper I am, he knew this would be something I would
love.I have spent hours at your site this evening, signing up for free
offers, playing games, and even joined your yahoo board. I feel
Like I have been given a present. :) I told him see honey it
doesn't take much to make me happy. I'm known around here as the Dollar Store Shopping Queen so this
site just made my day. Thanks for all the work you have put in to
it.
Thanks again, I can't wait to be a regular visitor.

Angie,
Hi Anjie,
I caught you on the Saturday morning news here in Oakland, CA and
liked you and your spirit. Tell your embarrassed teenage daughters
(both cute) that they WILL grow out of their intense desire to be
popular by playing follow-the-leader. When they do they'll
realize that You are far more important to them than some fleeting
sense of being "in" or belonging to the group that disdains
what you do which is to do a damn good job of providing for them,
loving them.
Keep up the great work and best of luck to you (and yours) on your
endeavors.

It was so nice to hear and see you on TV. Love your site and thanks for making our lives much simplier!! saw you on today and was very impressed. I have always been a bargain hunter too and it is great to know that I am not the only one. Keep up the good work and keep on saving -- Your great!!
OK, now I saw you on the Today Show ...........when I saw you I thought now there's someone who
can You go girl ! ! !
I saw you on the Today show. Very impressive. ............ I am also a crafter and recycler, other peoples junk
is my JOY and always can find a way to remake, reuse and refurbish
things that people just toss out. I had sooooo much fun going thru
your web site and thank you for being out there. I will come back
often, you are an inspiration! Want to start this email by saying, "What a great site." Hope
you limit sharing your secret, maybe I'll have a chance to win
something! ;)Actually, I totally loved viewing your site this morning for about
two hours and entered everything, even printed off the free
cookie's! Been a single parent in the past with two small children
and know it is difficult, even now there are many times I
sacrifice to give to my children.
Hi Angie,
Just saw you on Today and wanted to let you know that I really
do admire your kindness and skills on shopping. The shopping
part is natural because everyone loves a freebie or a bargain
but not many people will take the time to do it for shelters and
services. Rarely, would one involve the children to
render volunteer services because we live in such a
materialistic society that we teach our children to start
earning money at a very young age and a lot of it if the kid
can. Your daughters are doing good work helping out at the
children's care. Although you may think that the girls are
getting in return two hours of free day care for you, I do not
think that this concept really applies because all volunteers
always get back something to please them short of hard cash on
hand. Otherwise, we would not have volunteers abound in this
country, we would only have barterers. Keep up the good work and
encourage the girls to stay involved. Pat from Fairfield, CA.
The stories on the Today Show were great - and the website is

Hi,
You go girl! saw you on TV today and I had to come in
here and access I watched the nbc airing this morning. Way to go! I am
so amazed. I get I saw this clip on the Today Show. She was interviewed
by David Hey Marshall.. I caught your interview on the Today Show and you kicked butt!!! You
My name is C. R. (name edited for privacy) and I am the Manager of Member Services at Coolsavings Inc. Our goal is to save consumers both time and money when shopping by providing printable coupons, online coupons, free stuff, samples, sweepstakes, and a comparative shopping tool. I recently saw you on the Today Show and was quite impressed with the various strategies you use to save money. hi, my name is Hamed and I'm from Ohio. I think what you do and the way you do it is totally awesome, especially after I saw you on the today's show. I have never seen such a smart bargain shopper, yet have such great taste!!!!! This year is my last year of high school and you know how money can be a problem (fees, college, tuition, prom, etc.) So if I go out and by clothes I need to be as good a bragain shopper as you. I do consider myself a good bargain shopper, but never have I got things almost for free. Can I still shop from my favorite stores (Dillards, gap, aeropastele, etc) and still pay very low. They are pretty expensive stores and by the time they have big sales their good and stylish clothes are gone. I really need your help and I don't want to burn my pocket, I'm still young and need money in my pocket. Please help and may God give you more power in doing what you do!!!!!!!!!!!!! -----------Thanks--------- I saw you on Today show. You are simply marvellous!
Hi Anjie, Hi! I've enjoyed your sight. Keep up the great info. "I just want to thank you so much for showing me how to get all this free stuff on the net! I saw your spot on the today show on sat. since then I have been informed that I have won a $25 gc to mobil gas stations....got $10 gas card today for filling out that survey at fugi and also was informed I won a $50 gc to victoria's secrets!! Oh yes and got $15 credit at an online casino!! THANKS so much!! and will be searching for more freebies!! " Jenn
I just finished watching you on the Today Show. A woman after my own heart !! I am a FIRM believer that you don't have to spend a million bucks to look like a million bucks (smile). I consider myself to be a big bargain hunter!! seasoned bargain hunter, but I don't hold a candle to you (hehe). I can learn a few things from you!! I agree, we are NOT cheap, just frugal, just smart shoppers!! Why pay more money than you have too, right?!! The money I save on the things I buy I can use for other (more) things...hehe. So my hats off to you!! Roz
Ah, from such humble beginnings, our leader has led us to
great things :) Congrats on all the attention (and I'm sure
freebies) you have gotten for all your hard work. I hope the
list stays as fun as it has always been as we grow! Dear Marshall, thank you for helping me--IM' 75 (as of last week ) and I adore my computer and surf and learn through stupid mistakes but I can't thank you enough because even the Internet people here could not help me. thank you for taking time for this less than important problem. Connie
Hello My name is Cheryl .... I own a small travel agency in Sanford Maine. I saw you on the today show today and when I came into the office this AM I had in mind to find a new printer online. I went to the staples site because that is where I normally go when I remembered your site. I stopped the order and by going through your site I found the greenpoints site and guess what I did. I earned greenpoints and am feeling quite smug about the whole thing. I also found a Laptop special for a client who happened to come in this am and mention that he was looking for a laptop now do I look good in his eyes.
Anjie, Just wanted to thank you for showing us all these
great deals. I am a new member but already have saved.
Besides the coupons,rebates,contests, etc. I took
advantage of your Deal of the Day at Eddie Bauer. I got
two Eddie Bauer Classic T's regularly $12.00 each. When
you buy two you get $2.00 off each. So with the $20.00 off
code, I got the shirts free and all I had to pay was for
shipping. Great Deal!! Thanks again! Diane
