By popular demand and countless requests, I’m pleased to announce Super-Couponing III: Recovering From Coupon Addiction!
Once you’ve been through two levels of Super-Couponing, you’ll likely find yourself ready for this third tier of coupon education! Super-3 involves loads more coupon talk for die-hard coupon lovers, on topics like:
- Stockpile control: How much is too much? Learn effective ways to control the seemingly-endless growth of your home stockpile, how to rotate expiration dates, and when it’s time to “prune” things down and make a food pantry drop…
- Spousal resistance: How to deal with a less-than-enthusiastic spouse’s reaction to your growing stockpile, frequent shopping trips, and buying things you “need…” (but really don’t need…)
- Getting more coupons: Adding more coupons to your home file through creative means, like “coupon surfing” on Sundays (after everyone’s left their newspapers in a restaurant, coffee shop, train or curbside recycle bins…)
- Bypassing the sale: When you truly need NOTHING from the store, but you can’t resist going in to pick up “all that free stuff” this week anyway…
Based on the history of my past workshops, Super-3 will likely be an incredibly popular program! I don’t want to spread myself too thin with my current teaching schedule, so my lovely 13-year-old daughter will be leading Super-3. Many of you met her at last week’s Skokie class and saw firsthand her passion for saving money just like her Mom! She’s well-equipped to speak on my behalf, and hopefully her new night job won’t affect her homework responsibilities too much.
I’m currently looking for facilities in which to hold Super-3, but due to the increasing frequency of requests, I wanted to address this today and let everyone know that YES… there will be a Super-3! ;)

I am SOOOO excited! I definately have an “addiction” to SC! I hope you are able to do it at Gail Borden! Great job Jill, I don’t know how you do it! Can’t wait to meet your daughter.

Hahaha, I still need to attend I and II, but I’m just in stitches about III and the ‘addiction’ part….my dh has to keep reminding me not to make the kids and their friends (and my friends) crazy with my ‘pantry’ tours and ‘my deals of the day’, which I keep thinking they’ll go home and tell their parents, who’ll then save money (because I’m so ecstatic about all this)…some are interested and some have glazed eyes. And meanwhile, I’m hyperventilating….can ‘breathing techniques’ be a topic, too, to help cope with this issue? :)

I thought talk about this was a joke! Too funny!
Or is this an April Fools’ joke? :) Also too funny!

OMG! I so need this! The only way I know that enough is enough is when my DH says, “Now where am I supposed to put THIS??? – put it back in the car and drop it off at the pantry!”. This isn’t spousal resistance is it? He did add shelves in my laundry room, but there’s not room for any more shelving. OMG! I have like 200 razors in the house right now. Even with 2 teenagers it will take us forever to use these up. Sign me up! I HAVE to break this crazy couponing cycle. I’d love to hear your DD give this class. I’m sure she certainly knows more about these things than I do! HELP! (Is this going to be a 12 step program? I certainly could never go cold turkey at this point) :-)

I can’t wait to take this class! I can’t even get into a SC2 class yet, wonder how long it will be for SC3! I definitely need SC3!! I think it’s great that your daughter will be doing this class-we can get perspective about how it is to live with a coupon addict. :)
