Coupon Clipper make new friends who would share my interest, but I just couldn't seem to find anyone with a similar yen to save box tops and labels. Then one evening about a month ago I was attending a church spaghetti dinner and I kept thinking how I was going to get all the labels from the spaghetti sauce jars without attracting attention. To my surprise I found myself fighting over them with two other ladies who had the very same idea. I couldn't believe' it--two other refunders right in my own neighborhood! We sat down and compared notes and they, too, thought they were all alone. Not anymore! Now we're a happy trio of avid refunders and our goal is for ming a local coupon and refund swap dub.

A simple way to make contact with other refunders is to put up a sign on the bulletin board at your supermarket or library. It can say something like: "Refunding Friends Wanted." If you're not sharing the joys of refunding with a friend, try it. Dear June: I have been couponing and refunding for more than a year, but my husband rarely supported my efforts. Usually I would come home from shopping and show him the register total before and after coupons and he would go into his "ho-hum, what else is new" routine. But I had coupon fever and I kept hoping that it would become contagious. Yesterday I witnessed my husband coming down with serious symptoms! He went to a local automotive supply store and purchased a tuneup and items for our car. When we returned he had three refund forms, the appropriate proofs of purchase, and he had the cashier ring up three separate cash register tapes! I'm proud of my husband's efforts. He now realizes the fun of smart shopping!-Sue Nor thern, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sue: When you get the fever that "ho-hum" tune turns into "zippity doda!" Nice work!
