Many of you may not remember Flash. She stopped blogging regularly in July 06, with a brief stint back for 6 months in 2009.
I was new to SA and learned so much from her. She was a whiz with coupons - had great advice on all of the different ways to find them, which companies came through when you called, etc. She coordinated coupon trains and helped ensure that they were stocked with coupons we all needed. In fact, I think she was one of the original editors of the Grocery Coupon Guide site. Many of her nuggets of wisdom can still be found on that site.
In addition to coupons, Flash was a whiz at stacking deals. Combining shopping rebate sites like ebates, to shop at stores like drugstore .com, which gives you 5% credit on purchases, and pay with a rewards cc that gives an additional 5%, and take advantage of free shipping deals (of course), it was amazing the deals she came away with! I never buy a thing on line without thinking about all the ways I can maximize the discounts.
And she had a knack for finding free or reduced giftcards. I took advantage of many of the offers she highlighted, mostly with those deals that pop up at the end of some internet check-outs, where you can buy discounted gift cards.
And she shared all of the advice and kept it all together while going through some personal and family challenges that would make the average person throw caution to the wind and spend away!
Any other bloggers remember Flash? Did you learn something from her that I'm missing?
Looking back: Flash
