Getting bargins!!
I just wanted to share my thoughts on getting a good deal.
1. Good deals are only good if you do it honestly. Don't try to use a coupon or a deal that is known to be fraudulent. We all make mistakes, but by knowingly getting a fradulent deal, you are ruining the repuations of couponers everywhere!
2. Stockpiling. It's great to stockpile, but if you buy 40 toothpastes and leave none for other couponers, you are being selfish. When I stockpile, I buy what I can use for 6 to 9 months ( a typical sale cycle), if I end up getting more then I can use, I donate the items to the homeless shelter, the food pantry, our local church or the animal shelter. Share and give, don't be SCROOGE!!
3. Be Polite. When I get in line at the store, with a fist full of coupons, I will let the poor guy behind me go if he has only 2 things in his hands. Remember this is a hobby and a savings, again, you can easily ruin the perspective of the people you are trying to win over to saving money!!

Thank you!!! I hope all is well with you! How are your classes going? My 2nd class is on the 16th. It's going pretty good so far for me. We had a pretty good turn out. More than expected. I think there will be even more at the next class, because of all of the talk about the first one.
My class went really well! My next one is 2 Saturdays from now. I wasn't sure if the class learned much, but then directly after the class there has been alot of contact from the people in the class. One woman said she did $20 worth of groceries for $3.00. Another woman said that she had coupon scenerios and me in her dreams!!! Another woman was thrilled to get her brand of shampoo for under a dollar a bottle and she was SO happy! So, my class was very successful! I had great handouts and good conversation!!! The women from my class definitely had good things to say because I have other woman contacting me asking me when my next class is!! YEAH!
Glad to hear your classes are going great as well!!
Can you please e-mail, or snail mail me a copy of the hand outs that you are using for your class? I have found it pretty easy to do this for myself now that I have been doing it for a while. I am having a hard time trying to do coupon match ups for other people, though. Your info may help me bring it all together a bit better.
I will contact you. :)
