For years now I have been seeing some of my Twitter friends posting these awesome deals they get at CVS, Walgreens, Publix, Kroger and lots of other stores and I have been a bit jealous of all the money they saved. So, a few weeks ago I organized a “Super Couponing 101″ class at my church and I had my college buddy Pamella Perkins come teach us how to save big.
The class was a huge success, we filled the class room with men and women who wanted to learn how to be better stewards of their money. I learned so much I couldn’t wait to get started. Now we are a few weeks down the road and I wanted to let you know how easy this is to do and how much I save on my shopping trips.
If you want to learn how to start couponing I recommend checking out CouponDivas.com and Hip2Save.com. Both of those sites have great tutorial videos to help you get started. If you are looking for a great community with a treasure trove of coupons check out ConsumerQueen.com.
