Monday’s Chicago Tribune has a very lengthy profile of me and my rise from mom to “Coupon Superstar…”
Coupon superstar: Jill Cataldo teaches a growing legion of fans to trim their bottom line but isn’t stingy on goodwill
Some of the 2,500 people who came to hear Jill Cataldo talk about coupons started lining up four hours before she took the stage at the performing arts center in Charleston, S.C., in March.
Cataldo’s sold-out speech was touted as the largest event of its kind ever held in the United States.
This crowd was big, but Cataldo, an entrepreneur and mother of three from the far northwest suburb of Huntley, is used to the attention. She has secrets to share that are just right for this penny-pinching era: how to use those little clips of paper to save a family thousands of dollars a year at the supermarket.
She’s the first to admit she’s not the only one teaching about coupons, having been in the coupon-advice game just three years. But there’s something about her.
It’s really an incredibly-written piece. A big thanks to Greg Karp at the Tribune too, who shadowed me for a couple of days and followed me as I juggle work and family.

What a fantastic description of all you are and do. It’s clear by this article that much of your time is spent doing for others, as shown by your early posting of the week’s deals. On many occasions, that posting is on a holiday weekend and for that all of your followers are grateful.
More than anything, your integrity shines, Jill. Although you are self-made, you are still the same down to earth person who chooses the right way every time.
Congratulations!
