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.

I have to admit some people in my family are a little cynical when it comes to this. This morning I had a few of them call and say, “is that your coupon diva?” Yes, yes it is, my coupon diva! hehe. It’s fine if there are naysayers because it gives us a chance to get the food on sale! Also one of the comments pertained to coupons for gas. That’s funny because I got my gas for 20 cents cheaper from Jewel with all my rewards. Evil laugh…muuuauaaaaahhhhhaaaa!

Let the naysayers say what they want…you can’t please all the people all the time! If they don’t get, that is their loss. Those of us who have been fortunate enought to go to your free seminars, have learned from you and are happily implementing your methods and now helping ourselves and others, we get it.
Jill, we can’t thank you enough for all you have done and are doing. I hope you can let these few negative comments go, that they not deter you from what you are doing.
We should be nominating you and Stephanie as CNN Heroes or get you nominated for the Nobel Prize in….Economics?? waddya say people???
