Hey Shannon, I took the class last Saturday morning and it was worth every penny. I had read the blogs and figured out some on my own but once I took your class it was like the veil was lifted. I can now go back to the blog for a reference and understand clearly what I am reading now. So, I loved the class. I have paid for the class 100 time over with the saving that I have already gotten. I wrote on your Fb that I saved $76 dollars on my second trip after the class and saved $50 before the class. Thanks for all that ya’ll do! -Helen

Shannon and Aubrey,
I was at the class you taught at Moffett Road Baptist last Monday night, and just wanted to let you know how much I’ve appreciated all the information that you taught. I’ve been clipping coupons since last Christmas, but I feel like I’ve just now started “couponing”!! It’s like a whole other league out there! My friend Leslie and I drove over to Publix for the very first time on Saturday. We were there when the store opened, and had such a nice experience. Chris was even there bagging our groceries. But best of all, I spent $36 and saved $84!! And I bought meat! All thanks to you both. And even better than that, the policy change would only have made a difference of $5 for me on this trip. I was sad to hear that some people just can’t buy what they need for their families and have to be so greedy. Just really isn’t in the spirit of what we’re all trying to do.

Your class really opened my eyes about what is possible with coupons and how to “work” a deal. It’s no fun if you’re cheating the system. I love to know that I got such an awesome deal AND played by the rules. I found the most amazing asst manager at Walgreens at Schillinger and Cottage Hill. She is a couponer, too. I went last Wed (2 days after your class) to try my first “deal”. She walked me through rolling transactions, and her goal is to see you get as much as possible with as little out of pocket. I went back on Sunday morning to pick up some of the new weeks deals, and she was actually waiting on another “newbie” to walk them through the Zantac moneymaker. I think it made her proud to see me come in with my list, split my transactions, and “work it”! She wanted to add up my receipts right there to see how much OOP I had spent!

What you are doing is a service to the Mobile area. I mentioned your class in church on Sunday (since I was so excited about my Walgreens deal that I got on the way!) and I couldn’t believe how many other “fans” there were. People are excited to learn and hear what you have to offer. You both have a gift for this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing it with me. -Kathy
P.S. – I attached some pics of my “homework”. I’ve definitely made my 15 bucks back! (Publix – spent $36, saved $84; Walgreens – OOP $15, still have $25 in RR’s – MADE 10 bucks!) Thank you again!
.
Made my first trip yesterday after attending the class @ Beef’s SF……saved over $40 and had a great time shopping! The system works, thanks for the education :o ) – Pam
.
My daughter-in law attended your last class at Spanish Fort Beef’O’Bradys and is so proud. She has really starting to see the savings. She calls me after every shopping trip to tell me how much she saved. It was well worth the $15! -Linda

Hey! Some of my co-workers and I are wondering when you will hold another class. The one for the 12th happens to fall on our weekend to work. We would love to attend.

10 Shannon June 8, 2010 at 1:55 am

I may have a weeknight class…Would that work?

11 Leslie Nettles June 9, 2010 at 11:16 am

15 chasity Byrd June 22, 2010 at 9:50 am

If you have a weeknight class when will it be????

16 Amanda Orso June 27, 2010 at 8:59 pm

Will you be having any workshops in Mobile anytime soon? I live in Citronelle and Mobile would be closer than Spanish Fort. But if I had to drive there to learn the art of couponing, I will :)

17 Shannon June 28, 2010 at 4:05 am

Mobile is the weekend after the Spanish Fort one. :)

18 Brandi July 9, 2010 at 6:15 am

I need to un-reserve my spot on Saturday morning in Gulf Shores. I am sick as a dog (and even more sick that I am going to miss my first BB workshop)! Thanks for all you do Shannon!

19 melissa August 1, 2010 at 4:56 pm

Do you have a schedule for August classes yet? Also, how many people need to sign up before you would consider doing a class at a particular place? The reason I ask is because several people at work are interested in taking the couponing class.
Thanks.

I was trying to register for the Mobile session August 21, 2010 at 9:00am. It would not let me register–took me to a goole site and then would not let me get in. Is the Mobile class on the 21st of August full?

Please let ne know because I really want to attend. Thank You.
