Big News! and other little things...

Hey all! So, it's been a rough week. My hubby losing his job was a huge blow, but we're making the best of it. It's amazing the good things that can come out of situations like this! My spot on Breakfast Television this week is a definite plus! Very excited, a bit nervous, but excited nonetheless.

Have still been taking advantage of the current Ziploc coupon deal at Wal-Mart, when I can find them--or snag them off the skids before they close! I just can't pass it up, especially when it saves on the rest of my bill! You can still find these coupons at the Right At Home site.

The big news--Due to popular demand, I am looking at holding a couponing seminar. Am still working on the plans, and I already have a boardroom to book them in. Am looking at doing a 2 hour session, covering various in's and out's of coupons, tips and tricks, store policies, ways to maximize savings, how to do sales match-ups with the coupons you have, etc. Am wanting to get feedback and see what the interest for it is. Would be charging a small fee to cover costs of supplies, as I would be preparing packages for each person attending, as well as giving away packs of coupons. So let me know what you all think, I know I've got a few people on board in our area, so we'll see what comes out of it!

If those seminars turn out to be popular, would consider doing other types of sessions, such as trimming grocery budgets--with and without coupons, coupon shopping trips, etc...  So let me know if you're interested, and I will keep everyone posted on details!

And a big thank you to all of you for your kind words--very much appreciated! Until next time, happy clipping!

I would be interested if I lived in your area. I think you should make packages and do you tube classes. You should charge a small fee for access to your packages and access to your classes. There are confrencing tools out there that you could give a password to your paying students.

Ditto Vicki! You also could make ebooks to sell.

I would definitely be interested in a coupon seminar, especially if it was an early evening class (I work till 5:30 Mon-Sat)! I started couponing in January, but still have SO much to learn! ;)

You know I am in for this BUT hoping it will be on a day that I don't have to work or at a time I can make it. I would not want to miss this! I have lots to learn too!
