I have always taught through Adult Education programs or through agencies who pay me to teach their clients. It's too hard to teach someone through email. I did write a hub about 15 tips from the Coupon Lady, which may help you. I will also say that different stores in different parts of the country have different rules. In the Northeast, we can't do what they do on that show because many stores have rules about only being able to purchase 4 of an item in one trip.
I will like to know how to extreme coupon, but i need someone to teach me how. If someone will like to pass on there magic e mail me at lcinf03 yahoo. It's a Zero not an O. Sure, see if there are any other people in your facility who get the paper and don't want their coupons. Or will give you their fliers when they have taken out what they want. I know someone who lives in a facility and each week she collects all the coupon fliers left behind in the main dining area and gives them to her daughter.
She gets at least 15 each week. Also, do you know anyone who might be willing to trade coupons with you I had great luck with that. I asked a few friends, who actually lived in different states, and we swapped coupons with each other. They had a list of what I used, and I had a list of what they used, and every other week or so, it was fun to get an envelope full of coupons for things I actually use! Congrats on being a great example for your daughter to follow. My daughter is a coupon queen, she did look, learn and listen to me although I was unaware!!!! I am now in a assisted living facility and have an iPad with no access to printing coupons which is frustrating, have 1 paper per week, any suggestions as to how I can garner more coupons???
I have another hub called 15 tips from the coupon lady. I would read that, then read this again, and offer a class at your local library Also, I have another hub about how to start a coupon group in your town. Once you teach a few coupon classes, get a group together and exchange coupons so everyone will have coupons for items they actually use. Economically, our town needs to learn couponing. Food share struggles to meet rising numbers of families who are needing assistance. Elderly are having to make the choice between their RXs or food.
Young teen Mothers have no idea how to budget their money or buy healthy food instead of instant foods. I am overwhelmed, and have tried to get up interest, however everyone looks at me like.. Hey its your idea Im 65 years old and still learning how to coupon I need help or a plan any ideas.
Yes, it is possible to find those people who want to learn. I think if you went out of your current group of friends and acquaintances, and promoted it to the general public, through a church or social service agency who would help you bring in participants. I've been couponing for 25 years. Also been talking it to people who claim they do not have time, for the same amount of time. I've always turned down the thought of teaching a class, because of those who say can't, no time, too busy, kids. But you have proved there are more of us out there, where we use to be in the beginning.
I found it was best to go start with the Adult Education programs i9n towns surrounding mine. I have taught in 3 different towns. Once you get that up and going, it's easier to set rates and offer classes at social service agencies, women's groups, etc. Yes, it usually is. Most people have no real clue about how to really use coupons to the true extent. One or 2 coupons clipped and turned in each week just isn't enough to make a real dent in a grocery bill. And while it's true that every little bit helps, why just save a little when with the right tools, you can save a LOT?!
I love the idea of teaching a coupon class for profit. Very solid idea and would be so useful for the people who attended. This helped me so much! I fondly remember the days of helping my mom clip coupons and saving those green stamps! The class ends up being so much fun. Mine take 90 minutes - 2 hours by the time people ask questions and although I am tired when done, it gives me a coupon high just having remembered and talked about all the deals I have gotten, and sharing the info. If you aren't ready to give a class yet, try it out on a group of friends.
They won't care if your presentation isn't perfect and will enjoy the info. I hadn't thought about teaching a class on couponing. Yours sounds like a fun class to go to. Great idea about giving some things away to get them excited about the prospect. Yes, coupons can be addicting and it's a great way for teens to learn budgeting skills. If you don't know about the website Couponmom. It not only lets you check on grocery stores but dept. It's a great site. I never shop until I get a chance to check this site out in advance now. I just discovered the joys of cuponing.
Since my husband is now disabled. I am learning, but it so fun and I take my teenagers with me to help out. They are learning so much too, even my son. This is a great Idea. Well, you can just start with a couple of friends or family members to practice and see how it goes. If you love coupons, and save lots of money, the excitement of sharing that will rub off on those you teach and you'll forget that you're actually teaching!

For non-perishable items, I will wait for those to go on sale preferrably, buy one, get one sales and use coupons on top of those savings. We only purchase our meat once a quarter from a meat market which is a huge savings overall. The key, in my opinion, is not to let it consume you and your daily routines. There are lots of websites out there that will do coupon match-ups and price comparisons, so I let them do the work and just verify the information with my local circulars.
I plan my trips for the middle of the week on my lunch break so I can go without my kids and the stores are generally less crowded. As a Frugal Blogger this show has been my best friend and my worst nightmare. Its been great because people have an interest in coupons now.
I teach coupon classes and my calendar is getting packed. And TLC has signed it for 12 more episodes, so there could be more of this to come. Some states even have limits that the government has given- no way in Virginia could you ever use 1, coupons in one transaction.

And the food they bought was not what most people want in their houses- Americans DO have a tough time NOT buying something that is on sale. However I do coupon on a regular basis, eat organic I have a soy allergy so my grocery list is extremely limited , work two jobs and run my blog. If you want to coupon, you can do it just like anything else in life. Not a ton but I will take it. I am a committed couponer but I feel that, like everything in life, the intent of any action is of utmost importance.
Some people use coupons as an excuse to go shopping and justify their consuming habits I think the first woman in the episodeof Extreme Couponing fit this profile.

If you are purchasing things you do not need or could never live long enough to use, this verges on hoarding, in my opinion. Everything has a cost even if it is not realized at the cash register. You must store those s of deodorant containers which costs mental energy to organize and deal with, a portion of your mortage to pay for the space, as well as the time and gas to travel to the storeto purchase those items.
While one wonders if even they will ever need hundreds of bottles of shampoo, it is understandable why they are preparingfor that rainy day ewven if their life situation never becomes so dire. To me, this is a reasonable and generous use of time and of goods that otherwise could never be used in the lifetime of one person. Thank goodness this is just another aspect of life in which you can choose your level of involvement based on your perspective and values. Maybe I could get a shirt that says Phantom Coupon Guy!
It should be illegal to feed your children so poorly. We just take the one we need for that shopping trip and save only a few dollars at a time. Awesome to see so many of you watched this episode too! Haha… I liked how that guy donated all those boxes of cereals to charity too — that was nice: Sucks that they basically ruined it for everyone, but really interesting how that stuff plays out.
It takes all kinds to run this world ;. I think couponing only works on things you need. Get enough for YOUR families needs, and leave some for everyone else. A shopping cart of Butterfinger candy bars just because they are free? Are they going to eat all of them? Who needs boxes of pasta?
Not worth it in my opinion. I would rather spend my time searching for the best deal on the stuff I want and not deal with coupons for the stuff I would never buy. Wow, those coupon addicts are truly insane. I forgot to mention — that pic up there is just one I found on Flickr of a family who it seems loves coupons. Imagine a whole level of your house, or garage, filled wall-to-wall of extras. Helps the budget, and the belly.

All I care is that Dallas is out — all other teams are fine in my book ; Go Redskins!! You pick the state in which you live and the stores at which you want to shop. She highlights the best prices and gives the dates when coupons ran; she also notes that many of these items are desperately needed by food pantries and shelters. I get most of my toiletries and OTC medications free or nearly so and some food products as well.
And like the Coupon Mom, I donate a bunch of the extras to a local food bank and also to a tent city encampment. They are greatly needed because guess what: Granted, a lot of coupons are for less-than-healthy items. But if you had planned to buy a quart of ice cream or a bag of pretzels on payday, why pay full price?

However, it is possible to find some decent foods among the dreck: For some people, coupons make a big difference in the budget. Clearly it is possible to work, parent and clip coupons. But my husband almost divorced me because he was stuck to entertain a couple of toddlers the whole time I was shopping…they were all so tired and grumpy by the time I was done…and we were still an hour away from home!
And I no longer collect coupons. Our cupboards were literally bare! I also think this was show was shot back when in most stores you could get away with stacking manufacturer coupons, and also not have a limit on the of coupons, and a limit on dollar amount of coupons.
At the same time I feel it is unnecessary to have such a stock pile. If you get it for free, why not. It really does make a difference. Just think if I actually spent that! I heard of that too. I DK though a lot of reality tv is fake. Yea I know my post has nothing to do with coupons.

I give these super couponers mad credit for their skillz, just not a priority for the J. Btw, was kinda skyping with someone you know today: In a few short years, you'll have saved so much dough that you'll be able to pay for most of your purchases with cash. If you want to man up and take control, pass the reins over to an automated program that takes money from your checking account every month and diverts it into your savings account. After a while, you won't even notice the little hole in your checking account, but you will notice the little nest egg in your savings account.
Needless to say, you should check all of your bills, receipts, and statements carefully because no one will tell you if you have hidden or recurring charges that you've forgotten about. Utility bills are goldmines for finding extra charges and service fees that you need to question. Every few months, you should review any subscriptions that are automatically charged to your credit card every month.
Cancel the ones that are obsolete or no longer needed. It's an easy way to keep more of your money, and it only takes a few minutes to complete. Try to live within your means, especially when it comes to major purchases like your home and vehicle. You might have trouble keeping up with the Joneses, but rest assured that one day you'll surpass the Joneses by a country mile.
For now, you need to reconsider luxury items that may be crimping your style instead of defining it. What good is living in luxury if you're struggling to stay afloat? Never pay full price for anything. Nowadays, the MSRP, or sticker price, is just for suckers.
There are so many comparison shopping websites , and you can always find a lower price than the one offered. For items which you are fine buying used, you can get additional savings by buying from classified sites like Craigslist or using sniping software on auction sites ike eBay. When you go shopping, leave your credit card at home and take along a pad and pen instead.
If you see something you can't live without, jot down the details, including the taxes and warranty information. Then go home and do some research online. For starters, many online purchases are free of sales tax, and the prices are much more competitive. You may think coupons are for fixed-income oldsters, but anyone can save big with a little clipping. That's because there's an art to couponing, and it's easy to master.
