Advanced Class FAQ

I have had lots of people ask me about my Advanced Class and how they get an invite. So, here's the dish...

*When you host a Coupon Class for your family and friends, and have at least 12 "new" (meaning they haven't been to a class before) moms there, you are awarded an invite for you AND a friend.

*At the class, I teach how to shop and SAVE TONS at stores like Walgreens, CVS, and Target

*I will also show you how to get your hands on MORE coupons

*You will receive a list of my favorite money-saving blogs/websites

*After the class, I will send you a priceless worksheet to help you "work out" those tricky CVS & Walgreens transactions

SUMMER "SALE": If you host a class before the end of August, and have only 8 new moms attend, you will receive your invite! I must be crazy!!

But wait....there's more.... (this is where my cheezy salesman pitch comes in)

Leave me a comment about how badly you want to learn my Advanced Techniques, and I will choose 2, yes 2, winners to receive this invite! WHOO HOO - I am telling you this heat must be messing with my head.

Health Warning: It is possible to suffer from coupon-overload if you attend this clas without coming to my Coupon Class first. So, send me an email and I will tell you when and where my next classes will be and you can pop on by and take that first step...

OK - Let the games begin!

SCORE!!

A while ago I signed up for Upromise.com, figuring I could save a little while I am spending...why not, right? Well, I got the cooooolest email from them today and SCORED some great gift certificates at Restaurant.com. If you don't already know about this site, you should give it a look-see. You order gift certificates to restaurants in town for a discounted rate (ex. get a $25 gift cert for $10). A big help for date nights!

So, just now I ordered $280 worth of gift certificates for..... $22!!! I don't even want to figure out the % on that because I am sure I will faint!

The best part?? I can't keep my big mouth shut and am giving you my discount code!!! Try it now! Click on this link and order your gift certificates. When you are ready to check out, enter code DISH for your 80% savings! Let me know how it works for ya!

(sheesh that's the most ! ! ! I think I have ever put in a post)

Extra Coupons

Every now and again, I will take a few extra minutes and really peruse my Sunday paper. It really paid off this morning! I found some great coupons in the USA Weekend, and the Parade magazines. Here is a quick list of what I found:

Cottonelle Toilet Paper, 12 pack $1/1 (12/31/09)

Del MoneFruits, Vegetables, Tomatoes or Fruit Cup Snacks. Buy 6 get 1 FREE (8/15/09)

Scott Extra Soft bath tissue, 12 pack $1/1 (8/31/09)

Scott paper towel, 6 pack or larger $1/1 (8/31/09)

Sott Naturals Moist wipes .50/1 (8/31/09)

Kraft Easy Mac, 2.05 oz, Buy 1 get 1 FREE (8/31/09)

Prilosec OTC $2/1 (7/31/09) *This one was in each magazine*

So for a few extra minutes, I can now add an additional $52 in savings for the week. In reality, I will not use the Prilosec coupons, so for me, it is actually only a $42 savings. Not bad though, since I only pay $4.75 a week for my 5 Sunday papers!!

Call me if you are ready to get your discounted papers too!

Filing your Inserts

You know you're a Grocery Geek when: you color coordinate your coupons!

Have you been a Grocery Smarts shopper for a while now? Is your coupon binder bulging to the point of near catastrophe? If you are just starting out, this is what you have to look forward to in the future.

After about 4 months of collecting my inserts, I was desperate to ge out of my binder. So, I did some dejunking of my file cabinet and made room for my "money". You all know I am a big dork, so not only did I group the inserts together, I color coordinated each one! SmartSources are blue, RedPlums - yep red, and P&G is yellow in the back. You probably don't need to get that nuts about it, but I wanted to show how easy it is to transition from your first binder into some serious coupon filing.

Have fun!!

(sorry for the fuzzy pictures, our real camera took a turn for the worse at 2nd grade graduation when it met the floor a little too hard. I love boys - waiting for a replacement - the camera not the boy)

Booking a Class

The SINGLE BEST WAY to learn how to SHOP SMART and SAVE BIG is at one of my coupon classes! Below are all the details you'll need to know...

Basically, at a class I teach the basic concept of couponing, how to stay organized in less than 5 minutes a week (really, I promise), how to use the Grocery Smarts website and how by following a few super simple rules you'll be able to cut your grocery bill in half and start SAVING HUNDREDS immediately!

I teach the class in your home with your family and friends, but also teach church or women's groups as well.*  Then, so you can start getting the coupons you'll need, I also offer supreme discounts and incentives on the Sunday Only paper (as little as $0.75 per Sunday paper... Crazy, I know)!

CLASS INCENTIVES FOR IN-HOME CLASSES

• Have 6 friends who have not been to a class and earn a 'deluxe filing tote'
• Have 8 friends over and get the tote, and a $10 gift card to our favorite grocery store
• Have more than 10 people over who have not been to a class and earn the tote, a $20 gift card, and after your class, you will get our advanced tips and tricks to take your savings to a whole new level! 

*I'm happy to teach classes for church groups at a church, but the above incentives do not apply.

RJ Tip

I love what I do!! I just love to meet new people and teach them how to SAVE MONEY!!

Last night I had a class and there were 2 ladies there who actually deliver the Review Journal. I brought up how nice it is that if you ever have a problem with your delivery you can just call customer service (383-0400) and someone will bring you your missing papers. I promised I would pass this along, so here is a BIG tip to give your delivery person a little break:

When you call with a delivery problem, please request that they just bring the missing paper on the Monday route. The delivery person is charged for that extra Sunday delivery. That fee is actually the amount of money they make on a whole month's worth of deliveries to your house! I don't know about you, but I LOVE my pile of Sunday papers on my doorstep each week, and anything I can do to help keep my delivery person happy.... I am ALL for it!

Children's Orchard

I just love saving money, even if it's not only at the grocery store! We pop over to Children's Orchard with the clothes, toys, and equipmet that my kids outgrow and sometimes even pick up a few great deals to take home with us. Well, this weekend they are having a great little promotion! Fill a bag for $5! This is the actual email I got today with the details:

Bag the best deals of the year! Just grab a bag, then stuff, pack, jam, cram and fill it as full as you can with all of the resale clothing on clearance — and pay just $5 for it all.

So practice your packing, and come early for the Fill A Bag for Five Event, June 6.

*Actual Store bag may vary. Limited time offer. See store for specific details of offer. Fill A Bag purchases may not be paid for with store credits or coupons.
