COUPON CLASS

Two weeks ago I went to a couponing class that was AWESOME! Since then I have put what I learned into use.....BIG TIME! I have spent way less money than I normally do (I keep a budget, so I was not spending a ton) AND I have been able to buy WAY WAY more! I have basically been saving 75% on stuff that my family USES!!! I have been trying to get my year supply of food and household goods up and going for awhile and now I am in turbo mode. I bought 10 deodorants for Rich this week (the brand he has ALWAYS used) for $3.24! I would have spent $35-$40 dollars on that if I had bought it regularly. I am really excited about this, so I asked the lady that taught me how to coupon to come to my house and teach a class for my family and friends. It will be November 11th at 7pm at my home. Everone is welcome! Email me or leave me a comment if you would like to come!
