Coupon Class

Who Said, “Nothing in Life is Free?”
Come learn the ins and outs of couponing and shopping in a 2-day coupon class.

Day 1: Wednesday June 9th @ 7pm @ Jeanni Jones’ home.

Come learn:

1. how to save 30% or more on your grocery/ bill by applying coupons to items you already plan to buy
2. about helpful internet sites that do coupon match ups to store sale prices for you
3. about printable coupon sites and sites that will send you coupons for full size samples along with coupons
4. how to store and file your coupons so you can conveniently find them when you need them
5. how to stack in-store coupons with manufacture coupons to save the most money
6. which stores pay you for buying certain items in their stores and learn how to apply that store cash to other transactions
7. more…

Day 2: Wednesday June 23rd @ 7pm @ Callie Johnson’s home.

This will be a more hands on class.
We will:

1. apply info from first class to our own shopping lists
2. use computers to navigate coupon sites for coupons and coupon to sale price match-ups
3. create shopping transactions/scenarios that result in minimal out of pocket cash by applying coupons to sale items and possibly stacking coupons

Let us know if you are coming so we have enough info packets for you. Call either Stephanie Clark 246-9145 or Jeanni Jones 246-4597.

We will be repeating these classes or doing mini versions for those who need help or have specific coupon questions they would like answered. So look for more coupon classes in the future if you can’t make these.

Dog Eared Books Summer Reading Program

Dog Eared Books (361 Fairview Dr.), a used book store in Carson City, across from Lowe's, is having a summer reading program for kids where all the books are $1 and then you can bring it back and exchange it for free for another book. Good way to keep the kids reading this summer.

Cinemark Summer Movie Clubhouse

This summer Cinemark Theatres is having a movie clubhouse. We have two theatres participating in this event. The closest one is located at the Cinemark Summit Sierra. For more information you can go HERE. If you purchase the punchcard ahead of time the price is 5.00 per card for 10 movies! GREAT DEAL!!! It states you need to purchase your card at the Theatre box office. If you don't want to purchase the punchcard you can go to the listed movies and the cost is 1.00 per person per show. That is still a great deal! Lots of good clean movies for our little ones. We should get a carpool going for those that want to go.

Walgreens Trip 4/28/10

The above picture is of the haul I made at Walgreens on 4/28/10. My merchandise total for 42 items (couple not shown) prior to coupons and Register Rewards was $88.92. And what did I pay? $6.83! The trick to Walgreens is to purchase items that will give you Register Rewards first and than use those Register Rewards to purchase items in your next transactions. Use coupons on items that are already on sale and you got yourself a good deal and not much is spent out of your pocket. I follow several websites that do a lot of the coupon match-ups for me. A few that I follow the closest are: hip2save.com, iheartwags.com, afullcup.com and passionforsavings.com . They all have a section on how to get started using coupons and where to find them. They always list freebies and free product samples that you can request too. It's fun going to the mailbox and finding it full of free samples. Save your coupons and check out the websites and you can start saving money too.

Print your Internet Coupons

Don't forget to print any coupons you may want from the printable coupon sites on the side bar on this blog. The sites will reset all coupons tomorrow, so some may and will disappear.
