About Dian Farmer & GSFF
This page is About Dian Farmer & GSFF, on this page you can watch the video above to learn more about how I started GSFF to help people learn how to live better with less using couponing. Since that time it’s transitioned as I have transitioned.
My kids have grown up and moved out, I now have grandkids, we still coupon, but, not as heavily as we did when there were 4 kids to feed.
I now am enjoying gardening and trying new things with gardening. So, I decided to incorporate that into the new direction.
Now we are GSFF (formerly Grocery Shop For FREE!!) and we post about Gardening, Shopping, (there are still great deals out there), Finance (helping you live better for less), and Family (covering all topics having to do with family).
We’re happy you stopped by and hope you come back often to join the new journey!

Hi
Thank you for the directions to get the Hun’ts tomato sauce coupon. I printed a coupon for the Campbell’s soup. The first one printed fine. I haven’t been able to get it to print another one. I have checked all “help” information. Everything looks like it should work since it worked once.

Dian says
It may be a Bricks coupon, in that case it will only print once maybe twice. They make them that way. If you have another pc you can print one or two more. After you print the first one, hit the back button and see if you can print another.

Hi Dian,
I love the new Chatroll. I am just now seeing it. I have been super busy this holiday season. But whenever I come to your site I kick myself….there are so many wonderful things to read and do and I have missed out on some great things!!
I wanted to pass this on to you wondering if you wanted to put it on your site. It is a worthy cause. I received this message from a forum I belong to, Daily Strength. I joined it over two years ago, after losing my daughter on July 5th, 2007. It is a wonderful group. Anyway, here is the message you can use, if you choose:

God bless you during this most precious season, the reason for the season, Jesus Christs’ birth!

Carol,

Dian,
I just found your site the other day and I am LOVING it! I love that you have this video up, it makes the site feel so much more personal, like I’m visiting a friend’s blog instead of just a website. {Not that it’s “JUST” a website- but you know what I mean!}
I just wanted to say that you’re doing a great job & thank you for sharing all your insight!
Shell
Dian says
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know! I LOVE hearing from my readers! It makes me happy to help people save!
Please let me know if you ever have ANY questions, and share anything deals you find, too!
Thanks again!
Dian

This is my first time here, like the opening chat, very personable!
will your site and coupons help us folks in Canada?
I love coupons, but forget to use them, or have a hard time finding them…
I am going to read your booklet on line….Thanks!
Angie
Dian says
Angie,
Thanks for the kind words! I used to alway s forget to use my coupons, too! But, once you get used to saving and having fun doing it, you will always want to use coupons before you shop! Make sure to watch my other videos, too, they will help you get started!
Thanks again and if you have ANY questions, please feel free to ask!

Any chance of getting Kroger Match-ups for Houston? It would keep me from making alot of dead runs thinking that the prices are the ones listed on the various websites and finding out the prices are altogether different, much different.
Dian says
Mary,
Let me see what I can do! I’ll post back here or on Facebook, when I find one!
Thanks for letting me know!
Dian
Dian says
Mary,
I have done some research and checking around. The list I provide each week covers Texas and Louisiana. There isn’t one specific to Houston. The deals and prices I list should be the same in Houston. The deals and prices I list come from the Kroger.com sales flyer. So, you should be able to check your prices there before you go…
If you need anything else, please let me know!
Thanks!
Dian
Bev says
Hi, I stopped receiving your daily updates about 5 days ago and would love to continue to receive them. Can you please help me. My email is jakeaboo40@aol.com.
Thank you so much.
Dian says
Bev,
Have you checked your spam folder to make sure they’re aren’t in there all of a sudden?
I will check on my end and see what I can find out.
I’ll let you know!
Dian
Dian says
Bev,
I sent you an email last night, in it I asked you to reply so I could tell if you got it. If not, then it seems AOL has maybe decided my emails are spam and you’re not getting them or maybe they are going to your spam folder now.
I checked the email list and you are on it. You could try to sign up again or look in your spam folder or ask AOL. I don’t think there is anything I can do from this end, since you are on the list and active and the emails are being sent, you aren’t receiving them – then they are being intercepted by your spam folder or AOL.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you with this. I wish I knew what to do! 🙁

Hi Dian,
I just found your site and am loving it! I noticed on another comment section that someone mentioned being on an email list, but I can’t seem to find any subscription link or an email to contact you. Help!

Maxine says
I just wanted to tell you that I “stumbled” upon your site a few days ago and I love it! I have read your e-book, watched some of your You tube submissions. I asked a question on your site that has not been answered on several others. Thank you for taking the time. You come across as very friendly and easy to “talk” to. You stand apart from the pack!
Dian says
Maxine,
Thanks so much for the kind words! I really want to help people save like I do! I like helping. I am sorry you had such a hard time getting anywhere with your question, but I am happy you found us!
I’m glad you are enjoying the site, let me know if there is anything you ever need. If you are on Facebook, checkout the Facebook “Like” page, too!
Thanks again,
Dian
Jenny says
Hi Dian,
Are grocery stores aware of how coupons are coded? Do you know why do the mfg’s do that? I was told they have to pay to print coupons, so are they saving money? As long as the coupon beeps when it is scanned the store will get reimbursed for the coupons?
I look forward to your reply.
BTW, you are awesome!! I get a lot of good stuff for free and next to nothing because of your site.
Dian says
Alot of the stores haven’t upgraded their equipment to be able to deal with the extended bar codes that have come out. So, they beep – smart cashiers will cover the second part of the barcode to make it work.
The store will be reimbursed as long as the amount of coupons turned in matches the amount of inventory for that product sold.
The manufacturer pays for the printing.
I hope I understood your questions and that the answers made sense to you!
Thanks for the kind words!
Dian
JoAnne Moore says
I know this is a late entry, but I was so excited about the trip my husband and I just got back from at CVS. They were having a 75% off sale on alot of Loreal products (which by the way will continue on other loreal products tomorrow) and we saved a ton.
Here’s the breakdown:
– Original pricing of products $190.42 (pre tax)
– We got them on sale for $47.43
– Manufactured coupons used $28.00
– CVS Bucks $18.00
– Proudly paid (in change since I didn’t want to run debit card) $1.55
Thank you so much for showing us how to save. = ]
Roy and JoAnne
Dian says
JoAnne!!! What a great job!! You did fantastic!
Thanks so much for letting me know!
I LOVE to hear your successes!
Way to go! Thanks again for sharing!!!

I would like to post your banner on my site, SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP
(http://opulentshopping.blogspot.com), a site for those who want to save a bundle and ask that you let your readers know about me and visit my site. I don’t have a banner to exchange, but I will post yours for my audience to see.
Thank you for your consideration
rosemary says
i have seen so many people do so well at this, why am i struggling. i cant seem to match coupons to sales? what am i doing wrong?
Marge Nelson says
Hi. I really enjoy your site and all your information. I’m curious how you started your ebay coupon business? I’m retired and would like to make some extra cash. Or can you direct me to find the information that I need.
Thank you
Dian says
Marge,
First of all I had access to hundreds of FREE Sunday papers when I started selling – then I was bale to purchase hundreds of inserts at a deep, deep discount.
Then you just got to eBay and open a store and start listing the coupons!
Let me know if you have any more questions!
thanks!
Dian
Jaya says
