Is there anyway u can let me know when your next workshop is and where it would be. I would love to attend one
Hi Angela,
I’m working on getting a location to hold another workshop. If you have a location that would be suitable for a class, let me know and I can work with you to set one up!
How many people do you usually like to have gathered for a workshop? What is the cost for a class?
I can’t make it on a satuarday, will there be a coupon class during the week jacksonville fl ? if so, when ? Also will your class be on u tube?
Kenesha,
I will definitely have more classes. Stay tuned to the website for more info on future classes.
If you are interested you can also arrange to host your own. Here is more info:

Loved your class 4-9-11. I have been couponing for a while, but could never seem to “get it” altogether. Since your class, I’m starting to see the light. I am having a few problems though and wondered if you possible would know what the answers are. I clicked on the coupons I wanted to print out, but :
1) didn’t know how to set my printer on draft mode so it doesn’t print the advertisments
2) don’t know how to print in black only, the coupons printed automatically and printed out in color, BUT
3) all the coupons that printed out only had their pictures on them and no bar codes or anything…
can you help me? As you can probably tell I’m not very computer literate.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Ann
Ann, What sites were you printing the coupons from? I want to make sure they were not intended to be eCoupons. Which are just coupons you upload to a store reward card.
If you printed from Coupons.com, redplum or smartsource they should have a barcode.
What kind of computer do you have? Mac, PC? It’s really hard to troubleshoot those kinds of issues without being there, because computer and printer interfaces are all different.
Karen,
Been following your site for a month now, and though I have been couponing for a while, your site has already found me 3 great deals!!! Thanks so much!
I am on the board for our FRG up in Kings Bay and was wondering if there was a chance we could set up a workshop for later down the line? Where are you located?
Hi,
I’m the Family Readiness Group (FRG) President for a Mayport-based ship. I’d like to talk to you about doing a beginner coupon workshop for our group in early July. Please contact me at the email I provided. I was unable to pull up your email address, since I don’t use Outlook or an email program other than gmail. I attended your workshop a few months ago through my mom’s group.
Thanks,
Veronica
Hi Karen,
I was wondering if you would be having a class on couponing in Jacksonville Florida. I am very interested as well as a few of my friends. I’ve been trying to save $$ using coupons but don’t really know how to find the coupons for some of the products/grocerys that I use. Would truely love your help helping my family with couponing. Thanks, Violet
Violet, I will be posting the June Class schedule soon.
I am very excited to see if you will be having a class here in the Jacksonville area. Or surrounding areas. I am so excited to meet you and learn about Couponing. I am very new to this. I just found your Website yesterday and I loved it. Some much good information that you provide. And your Website is eye catching and easy to use. And for someone like me who is not computer smart on opening and finding things, you make it very user friendly. Again can’t wait to attend one of your classes and learn to save, save save.. Violet
Hi Violet and Karen. I have a couple of friends as well as myself that are here in Jacksonville that would be interested too. We don’t have double coupons here so we have to get the lowest price possible. I am trying to finish composing my never ending lists of coupons! LOL I still have yet to do a pricebook. Is there anyone in the Jacksonville area that has a pricebook already done up?
I am trying to print out your shopping list forthe drug stores, but it is taking 3 pages and it looks like it is leaving alot of blanks between sale items. Is it your list or my printer?? Hope to see you in Jax.
Hi Terry, I’m sorry you are having problems. Unfortunately I am on vacation and will not be near a printer anytime soon to test it on my end. I’ll try to check when I get home.
i would like to schedule a coupon class in my home……we live near oakleaf in watermill. could you please contact me so we can schedule something
we are ready to start saving!!!
Hey Nicole do you have room for one more. Violet
I am very interested in your coupon clases & ready to save $$$! Are there any classes scheduled for July yet? If so, when/where? Thanks
I do not have any July classes scheduled yet.
I live in the keystone heights area. I dont have a group of friends other than church i guess. How would i go about finding out about a class? I think you said its 5 bucks a person and how many would you need to attend.
Hi Karen i was just wondering if maybe you are having another classes scheduled
for the month of august and do you have any of them on a saturday please if its possible
to let me know or email me thanks. Wanda
I’m looking for a coupon class in the Jacksonville, FL area. Please let me know when you will have a class in my area. I have a new baby and really need to save some $$$ on groceries
I am also interested in attending a workshop in Jacksonville. I have 2 friends that would love to go too. Please let me know when one is available. Thanks
We have several that would be interested in attending your workshop in Jacksonville. Would you please let me know when and where. We do have several that would open their home for the workshop. Thanks!

Any ideas on when the next class will be???
We are working on dates now Amanda. Just keep an eye out!
I was hoping to find out when the next class would be in October or any month? My October month is usually busy, but I’ve just started couponing today and already feel overwhelmed, I could surely use the help! Will you post it on Facebook also?
All posts are sent to Facebook. You might also want to subscribe to the newsletter so you never miss any info
Please post for your readers if possible….I need some help from the couponing community!
Hi Jacksonville fellow couponers. I am hoping I can get some help from everyone out there. I am working on a project for work where we are trying to collect enough hygiene items (soap, shampoo, deodorant etc) to assemble 1300 bags for children (5-18) in our area. We were planning to distribute the bags on October 22. Anyway…the reason I am begging for your help is that our MAJOR provider of the donated items seems to have fell through and I am in a bind. I have a linen closet full of items that I can donate to this cause, but I am only one…this is where you come in. If it’s time for you to purge or if you can and would like to help or know someone that can, please send me an email or give me a call. I know it is short notice and it is not a SUPER coupon week, but any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Karen,
Thanks so much for presenting tonight. It was wonderful. I had to run over to CVS and get my Green Bag Leaf thing.
I forgot to ask you about UPromise. I see reference to that sometimes and I am not sure what it is all about. Is it just for college savings?
Elizabeth
Hi Karen,
I am interested in attending a coupon class. Hopefully I’m not too late in asking if you’re still having classes. I just found about them today.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Tracey
We have coupons for free bottles of Country Bobs All Purpose Sauce. How do we provides coupons and recipe brochures for your classes?
I am interested in attending one of your classes. Please let me know when you will be having one. Thanks, Susan.
Follow the Website and on Facebook Susan. It will be posted there when I schedule it. Thanks for asking.
I wanted to know, I have 3 coupons for BOGO. The store has a sale for BOGO on the same item. Can I use all 3 coupons on 6 items and only pay full price for one of them? Or does it work like that. A lot of times when I see the store matchups it will list several coupons. Do you use all the coupons listed on one item to get the best price? Thanks for any response
Yes Pam. Technically if the store has a BOGO sale and you stack a BOGO coupon, you should get both for free.
Buy 6, pay for 3 with BOGO sales
Stack 3 BOGO coupons and then the 3 items you would normally pay for, will be free. That is why stacking coupons with store sales can be so good.
Keep in mind some of those coupons have a max value. So if the price is $4.00 but the max coupon value is $3.59, then you will have to pay the difference. And remember the stores get reimbursed for the coupons by the manufacturer. Hope that helps! Karen
How would I get in contact with you regarding a coupon class in Jacksonville, Florida? I heard from a Florida times Union representative that there was a coupon class somewhere on Beach Blvd. I wonder if you are affiliated with that location and the class scheduling. I am new to the coupon business. Thanks!!
We are working on Scheduling classes for 2012 now. Follow the website and as soon as I have confirmation, I will post them and you can reserve your spot.
