CBS 2 in Chicago followed a local mom’s story of going from spending $300 a week on her groceries… to taking my class… to spending less on her first trip to the grocery store after she learned to Super-Coupon! This was a fun segment to work on, as many people ask if I ever take a person from the class, through the grocery planning process, and then to the store to shop. Take a look!
Update: I learned this morning (3/17) that this segment was picked up by many CBS affiliates around the country too last night, and it also aired in Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco.

It’s always fun to see some deals in action.
Naysayer ABC had a segment last night about how to save money on groceries, its focus being that “coupons aren’t the only answer.”
Their focus was shopping at discount chains like Aldi and buying generics, avoiding the front-of-store high-margin displays, etc. They didn’t ‘dis coupons entirely. They suggested making a list and clipping coupons to match before heading to the store. Basically the way all of us USED to shop.
They’re the only station you HAVEN’T been on, aren’t they? Hmmm… Seems to me that in an attempt to provide a different approach to saving on groceries than the other stations are covering, they’re really providing the same old thing. Ironic, eh? (Or maybe that grumpy lady who appears on here from time to time with her rants about her “real friends” works for ABC…)

You looked great Jill!! Now you will have even more people flocking to your sight. Maybe you can single handedly get us all out of this economic crisis :)

I loved the spot on CBS!!! You can see that she did the same happy dance that I do every time I go to the store now! Thank you Jill for sharing your knowledge with us and helping us all save so much money. Even more, thank you for helping to make shopping so much fun. I feel like I did when I was a kid and went shopping and my parents let me buy “fun” stuff. Now, I buy two bags of salad on a great deal and get the same feeling!! Best of all, I feel like I am being a good steward of my money. Thank you!
