Hot Coupon World Review

Hot Coupon World is one of the sites that I visit on a daily basis.  It can become very addictive once you start reading about all the deals.  The grocery store & Drug store forums are where I spend most of my time.

Hot Coupon World has their forum's organized by store name under different categories (drug stores, chain stores, grocery stores, office supply stores, etc).  This makes navigating through the forums very user friendly.  The catgories these forums are divided into saves the users alot of time reading thru post that wouldn't be relevant to what they are looking for. 

Some sites that are the same type of sites as Hot Coupon World are no comparison.  Other sites have just one generic forum for talking about different coupon deals.  Therefore, causing the user to spend alot of extra time going thru different post that are not relevant to what they are looking for.  For example, Hot coupon world has subforums to the grocery forum.  Each subforum is alphebetized by store name.  This makes it much easier to find information relevant to the stores that you actually shop at.

Most of the people who are on Hot Coupon World are there to learn and help each others.  Most of these members are willing to go the extra mile to explain things to newbies and even help them to setup coupon books, acquire coupons, and even helping them figure out how to store their stockpiles.  I have even seen members on this board gathering coupons, money, and/or supplies for others in need (whether members on the board or not).  There are some really caring people associated with Hot Coupon World.

The only two negatives I have found related to Hot Coupon World is the fact that some of the people in the trades forum can be kinda nasty at times if you are not willing to trade just as they want you to.  Some of them think any coupons they have are worth gold and they ones you have (even if they are hot, sought after cpns) are not worth paying or trading what their true value is.  I have learned that when I run across a trader like that on this board, I just don't trade with them anymore.

The other negative is that some people want to run the forums and act as if they know everything, but don't want to help others.  For example, you ask a question and they just want to tell you to do a search to find what you need.  You try several searches, and still can't find the answer your question.  When it would have taken the same amount of time to type the answer to your question as it would for them to be snotty and tell you to do a search. 

I am not willing to let a few greedy traders ruin things for me.  I find this site to be fun and educational at the same time.  For the most part, most people Hot Coupon World are willing to help in any way that they can.
