TESTIMONIALS FROM WORKSHOPS
Both of these ladies attended our weekend workshop in Dalton 2 weeks ago!
Kasey & Kelly,
Just wanted to let you know that I took the 101 class on the 15
th of May in Dalton and I went grocery shopping last week using the info I learned and on my first trip out with coupons I am proud to say I bought $154.36 worth of groceries for $96.08 so that is a savings of $58.28. Not bad for my first time out. I used coupons and
BOGO. This class is great and I will be using coupons from now on............thanks so much............Gaynell G

Hi Kelly and Kasey!!
Thank you so much for teaching a
couponing class in Dalton. It has helped tremendously in taking the mystery out of using coupons and actually getting good deals. Just this morning I received the packet of coupon inserts in the mail - thank you!!! And I just wanted to tell you about my shopping experience this Thursday. Attached is a picture of my purchases.
CVSTransaction 1 -
2 Dry Idea Deodorants which were still on sale for 2/$5. I used the two
internet printables for $2.00 off. My total was $1.00 ($1.35 after tax), and I got the $2 in
ECBs.
Transaction 2 -
1 Bic
Soleil razors (4 blade!! disposables) which were on sale for $4.99. I used my $2
ECBs and a $3.00 coupon from SS (I believe from the week of 5/10). My total was $0!! Free! (just paid .21¢ tax). I do believe that is the first time I actually got anything free - thank you ladies!!
After that I went over to
Walgreens, where the Register Rewards didn't work out exactly how I was expecting. And, I did end up using the "fillers" by the way, thanks for that valuable tip. This whole trip was just to get familiar with the stores and see if I could actually do any of this.

LOL)
Ta-

Grand total for my shopping spree at
CVS and
Walgreens = subtotal $19.75($21.61)
Purchased: 2 Dry Idea Deodorant; 1 Pack of Razors; 2 Boxes of
Bandaids; 1
Neopsporin; 1 Off Clip On; 9 Edge Shaving Cream; 1 Cotton Balls, 3 Candies
Depending on where you shop - the retail value would of been between $60 and $80.
Needless to say my husband was at first doubtful but then rather impressed that's he's stocked up for a few months already. And thankfully, he is totally supporting my new
couponing ambitions. I'm looking forward to going out later today and shopping for a few more items before the sales for the week change over. Again, thank you for offering the class!! I look forward to letting you know what other bargains I come up with.
Love,
Elisabeth S.
