Smart ways to save on shopping, home, travel and living well!
Hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! We had a great weekend planting our garden (the least expensive way to get fresh produce!) and grilling out — those $2.98 barbecue ribs, .19 ears of corn, .25 hot dogs and .38 hot dog buns made for a fabulously inexpensive cookout! (Of course, we washed it all down with delicious Kosher Cokes..!)
Now, it’s deal time! As always, a big welcome to our Super-Couponers from this past week’s classes in Niles, Lockport and Brookfield!
It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for this week’s grocery deals! A big welcome to our Super-Couponers from this past week’s classes in Hampshire, Sugar Grove, Aurora, and McHenry!
A big welcome to our Super-Couponers from this past week’s classes in Sugar Grove, Prospect Heights, Crest Hill and Hampshire! And thanks for bearing with me posting the deals a couple hours behind schedule today. Yesterday was incredibly busy as I spent part of the day with the editor of my Super-Couponing class video & have been going over the first cut… and the night was spent teaching Super-2 to a very enthusiastic Hampshire crowd! (Sometimes my schedule truly does get the better of me… but now, it’s time for deals!)
Serious grocery savings are just a snip away
Jill Cataldo knows a thing or two about maximizing the savings of her family grocery bill.
“I shopped today and bought $120 worth of groceries for $3.40,” Cataldo said.
Jill Cataldo gives a class at the Sugar Grove Community House on how to use coupons to their greatest advantage. Some 100 people signed up for the two-hour workshop sponsored by the Sugar Grove Library Friends.
Sharing the art of saving
Jill Cataldo gets a lot of attention at the supermarket.
Cataldo, a 35-year-old mother of three from Huntley, is one of a rising number of so-called coupon divas who have turned saving at the grocery store into an art form.
Diapers drove Cataldo to become a maven of saving. Three years ago, she heard in the news about the extreme savings available by using coupons. Read more.
The NWI Times has a story about my class at Purdue University this past weekend:
‘Super Coupon’ queen cuts to the saving chase
Everything about the “old” way of shopping for groceries is wrong, according to “Super Coupon” queen Jill Cataldo.
Instead, “stockpiling,” “stacking,” and surfing the Internet are just a few ways that shoppers can really save money on groceries and other household items — and many times, even get items for free.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! A big welcome to our Super-Couponers from this past week’s classes in Oak Lawn and Westville, Indiana (a super-big welcome to everyone who attended my Purdue University class… I had attendees drive from downstate Indiana, as well as from Michigan! I was so impressed that my class was considered a road-trip-worthy destination! Super-Couponing is spreading all over the Midwest…)
In my Super-Couponing classes, I’m often asked the question whether it’s easier just to shop at an “everyday low price” supercenter vs. a “more expensive” supermarket with coupons to get the same savings. If you’ve used coupons for any length of time, you know that you’ll actually get much better savings at the “more expensive” supermarkets by following the sales and matching them with coupons.
