Couponing 101

I received an email from my friend Cat. She came over to my house a couple of weeks ago for Coupon 101. I typed up a "How-To" and showed her actual receipts. Then we actually went to the stores together and I showed her little quirks about each store! I would love to email you my 101!


She got the hang of it! Check out her purchases! I am so proud of my first pupil!!! Here is her email:
