Hello! Thank you so much for your time – I attended the Couponing 2 class at SC Library the other evening. I had previously attended your 1 class at Elgin’s library. We moved to St. Charles from the middle of nowhere – how wonderful to have a resource such as yourself so close that I can actually go to a class with you! I was so happy to hear you refer to couponing as a hobby. I do consider it to be mine. As a busy mom, it is hard to make time to do things for myself and couponing/planning and executing shopping hauls is something I feel like benefits my family so it is easier for me to allow myself the time. My family and friends think I”m crazy (I may obsess over coupons and deals just a tiny bit) but my husband appreciates how amazing it is to save so much money. There are so many deals out there just waiting for people to take advantage – I cannot understand how people let the money escape them! More money for fun stuff!! And inescapable bills… I think building these deals is just the greatest puzzler with the most amazing ‘awards’. What a feeling of satisfaction. (Our closets are currently overflowing with Garnier products ;-)
My question for you is what is next? Do you find out information through experimentation, through a couponing community… all of the above?
Thank you so much for your time, and, happy saving!
