… the first Super-Couponing workshop took place.

It’s been a wonderful two years. :) I have taught over 19,600 people in live workshops since that date, and countless thousands of others via the DVD workshop and my blog.

Whenever you began Super-Couponing… happy anniversary to you :)

Will you ever shop the same way again?

  1. You are such an amazing person. So kind and patient. Thank you for what you do. If it wasnt for you I would be up to my eyeballs in debt. Struggling to get by. Instead we are on easy street, even had enough money to put a down payment on a new dog( sadly we had to put our lab to sleep a few weeks ago). I am even able to help others and I am LOVING EVERY MINUTE of it.

    If you ever need help with something, let me know. Thank you for showing me how to obsess…ooops I mean LOVE coupons!!!!

    I think this has always been my destiny. I have always bought a few extras of things we used when they were a good price, now instead of 2 or 3 extra I might get 10-20 extra.

  2. Jill,

    Thank you for the knowledge, tools and inspiration you have given to me and so many others. Before taking your workshop I did “coupon” but not like I do today -thanks to you :) Gone are the days of buying generics and doing without. Now I can provide my family the best and have some to bless others.

    I love how the passion of savings spreads. I have even got friends and coworkers to coupon!!

  3. Thanks Jill…I remember watching your DVD the first time wondering if I could even come close to deals like I was hearing you talk about. That was the end of last year. I have found amazing deals and now I have to keep brainstorming ideas on where to put everything that I am buying!!!

  4. How funny you remember the date–like a “real” anniversary! I remember mine too :) June 27th last year. It’s been such an exciting ride–and being able to teach others is amazing. I can’t imagine how that must feel for you Jill! What a blessing you have to been to sooo many families.

  5. I like many others always couponed but not this way. I wondered how but didn’t think it was something I could do. I wish this “system” was around 10-15 years ago when I had four small children to provide for. But I am very grateful to have found you Jill and Super-Couponing at the library! Now those four small children are big and have lots of hungry friends. It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to have more than enough to share with friends and those who need a hand.

    Thank you for all your hard work to gather the information week after week and answering all the questions you are presented with! Blessings to you and your family.

  6. Jill I remember that day like it was yesterday. My two friends and I thought we would have a fun evening in Huntley getting ideas on how to save a few dollars for our families. Little did we know it would change everything we knew about shopping and save us an unbelievable amount of money in the past 2 years. You are amazing, kind, funny, generous and even when I had silly questions you helped out. We are still in the worst recession since the depression, but with your suggestions we can all still make it through and have extras to donate. The added benefit that I didnt know about till you do it, is the rush of excitment when the deal works, and you do it again and maybe again. (jewel Catalina deals) Its kind of a euphoria that is better than a margarita! The fun part is buying your DVD for family that lives far away and hearing their reaction and excitment to what you teach and how they have saved money too. You have made a huge difference in so many peoples lives, I cant thank you enough for that 1st class 2 years ago and making a difference in our lives! One fun side note, my 9 year old daughter told me last week she and my husband were going to walgreens to get swiffer refills. Anna said Im sure you have a coupon for these somewhere mom, I told her where to look in the coupons and also had her check the flyer to see if they were part of a deal. When I got home there were 2 swiffer refills and a bounce on the counter and a 2 dollar catalina. The next generation of couponers has a really good start. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, you are wonderful! Lisa

  8. 2 years! AMAZING!

    SOOOOOO many deals and literally THOUSANDS of dollars later, I still remember the early Johnny B deals – the do-nothing-but-buy-them Jewel/Glade MM, the overlapping B1G1/B2G2=B1G3 Goldfish cracker deal and so many more.

    You got us through some hard times and I just can’t imagine what things would be like had I not attended my first class nearly 2 years ago. It feels like yesterday.

    Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for everything you’ve done.

  10. Completely changed the way I shop and view money in general as well as my kids and others around me. Congrats Jill… a big, super coupon THANK YOU!

  11. Happy Anniversary! I will never forget when my Sister in law called me to invite me over for a girls night to watch your video. I was amazed and HOOKED from the get go. Jill, I haven’t been couponing for as long as some, but I have saved Tons of $, and having a blast doing it. Just like another poster said, “The adrenaline rush is great” when the deal comes together you walk out of the store amazed! I can’t believe that there are coupons out there for just about everything from clothes, to school supplies. I rarely buy anything now, before checking to see if there is a coupon. I can’t see getting by these days without using coupons, and you make it so easy to follow. I will never go back to shopping the way I used to. Yes, my dining room might be a little over taken with coupons but, the savings far out weighs the mess! Your a very ethical person and you provide a wonderful GIFT to a lot of people. Here’s to many, many more years! Congrats and Thank you!

  12. Hi Jill – I missed your workshops when you were at the my library a while back, but I was intrigued by the prospect of becoming a Supercouponer. When I discovered you had a DVD of your presentation I asked the Library to purchase it for their collection, which they’ve gladly done. I’ve watched it twice now as has my dear DIL. I’m in week two of pulling and dating my Sunday coupon inserts and am still working to get this all down to a neat routine, but I wanted to thank you for taking the time to share your expertise with all of us. Happy Anniversary and continued success.

  13. Happy Anniversary! Thank you for everything you do! You have completely changed the way I shop forever! Who knew grocery shopping could be so much fun? Buying so much for so little? Thank you Jill!

  17. Congratulations, Jill! You’ve blessed so many families with knowledge about how to save money. I’ve always hated to shop, but now, when I know that I’ve done the absolute best that I can, for our family, I enjoy shopping. I love that my daughters, who are still quite young, are learning about shopping wisely, and always with coupons!
