Do you want to save money by couponing?
« on: January 30, 2012, 06:10:30 PM »
Nope, this is not a spam message. It's a confession and an inquiry. ;D

I have been couponing for some time.  :o

I save about about 50 to 75% on my groceries depending on my own decipline and the deals that week.  :o :o

There are items that I get for free or even make "money" (store credit) on but these are not the norm despite what TV seems to be showing.  :o :o :o

For a while now a friend that I brag to about my savings has been encouraging me to share how I do it with many.

On with the inquiry....

I would like to know are there any here interested in learning how to coupon?

I am looking to see how many may be interested in a "closed" room class.

Thanks for your input!

PS - If I were to do this... it would be free of charge. This is just something I do on a daily basis for my family and am willing to share it with others.

If there are not that many I will do it on an individual basis :)

is this an online thing that you are trying to set up or is it in your town?

Don't see why not. I would just have to know ahead of time so I know what size the class will be and If I need to schedule a second one so that I can keep them smaller to be able to answer everyone's questions.

of course,  and    hopefully  what you create for one  class  would be used  for the second  one too
