Hello
I have just found your site, from a note on Melissas bargain blog.

I am so happy to have found this.

I am just beginning my journey to bring my family weekly spending down as we prepare to save for our immenent college years ahead.

I would like to know if you can help me, or point me to a place i can read the information.
I have somehow come to understand you can use a bar code on an iphone for some of the stores such as target.. in place of a coupon.

i also need to find out how to print coupons for target.
My sunday paper this week ahas redplum and smart sources,

nothing from proctor and gamble, and the target flyer does not have coupons.

We do not have any double coupons that i can find in my area of saratoga springs ny.

thank you for reading my note

Regards
Cynthia Fogarty

Read your book, and loved it. The site is great. I have a question for you, our local paper has discontinued putting coupons in the Sunday paper. I have complained, but nothing has happened. Any suggestions on how to get them back?

You can order coupons from coupon clipping services. You can now order whole inserts! Here is an article to help you:

Hi!
I am in the process of reading your book and have already begun to save-thank you! This is my first time to this site so I’m trying to navigate it. I’m still struggling with the whole organizing of coupon flyer thing and also have signed up for several coupon sites, but I keep getting a lot of surveys as well as a lot of spam. Any suggestions? I am trying to baby-step my way through this process.
Thanks again for your book!
Joan

I have a different email account for things like this. This way my personal/business email account doesn’t get spam mail!

I’m so glad that I came to this site. I have recently decided to start couponing and I believe that this site will be a big help.

Hi, my name is Linda and I am brand new to coupons. I want to start couponing right away and I am in the process of putting a binder together. I am finding that baseball sheets, 4×6 sheets and dividers are not that cheap. I am on a very very tight budget and have to be careful where our money goes. Do you have any suggestions where I can go to get these items where it does not cost so much? I am on short term disability at this time and I am home all the time except for Dr. Appointments. I checked ebay, and amazon and not that cheap. Can you help with any suggestions? Thank you Linda

chrissy April 15, 2011 at 1:09 PM

If you are on a tight budget you can try sheet protectors and just label the outside of them. Another option is to just use envelopes.

I am interested in becoming an educator as well as your classess. Do you suggest I take the classes first or if I sign up to become an educator will the educator classes also combine your workshop classes you offer. In other words is the information the same. Or do I need to start w/your workshops first. …awesome website.

Thanks

chrissy April 15, 2011 at 7:42 PM

Diane,

You get access to all the workshops as an Educator so you don’t need to take the workshops first, but some people like to take the workshop first to see if they like them and want to teach them.

Hello,

I am putting together a binder and I am wondering if someone has or know where I can find labels you put on dividers, itinerary sheets, labels with each category ready to go and printable on labels. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello I want to thank you for allowing us to use your deals on our sites! I am just starting my site. It is almost ready to make public. If I do use your weekly deals I am more than happy to refer them back to your site as you have asked. Thank you again.

I just want to thank you for writing such an amazing book and creating an awesome website! Working at a Library, I’m used to research, and I have definitely done some on couponing. Your book and website have helped me understand couponing so much easier than anything else. I do work full-time, so I haven’t been able to put everything to use, but I think that good things are to come. Again, thank you!
