From college students to entrepreneurs to single, working, or stay-at-home moms, everyone who has used my philosophy has a reason for being super excited about their savings. Read on!
Time 2 $ave
Thanks for teaching me these techniques. I have loved it and we love the donation box that we have set aside for The Ronald McDonald House. . . . I’m a single mom and love to help others, but never had the means to do it until now. It’s awesome and the kids have really gotten into it with me.—Sandy
I have just finished a back-to-school and a grocery shopping trip using your tips. I saved over $200! Also, our pantry and two freezers are beginning to fill up! Everyone in our household is thrilled!—Tiffany
My sister, daughter, and I took your class around the first of this year, and were soon contacted by our local newspaper that was doing a story on saving money. My daughter and I commented about our class experience and how much money we saved. My sister and I live next door to each other, so we grocery shop together. Saving money has become a contest for us! Sometimes she wins, sometimes I win, but we are both saving tons of money. I have not had this many groceries in my married life! Which is twenty-five years! Thanks for the help!—Tammy
I am stopped every day in the stores and asked how I do coupons. I’ve been shopping with them for at least twenty-five years. I save several hundred dollars every couple of days. Most of the food and other items I donate. It’s the rush of the savings that I enjoy since all my children are grown. My daughter and grandchildren get a lot of benefit from my shopping. Time 2 $ave has been an added blessing to my shopping experiences.—Dawn
I attended your workshop in South Pittsburgh and I really learned a lot. I have more than made back the $40 for the workshop, and I am using most of my stockpile to make Christmas baskets for my family. I have also shared the coupon savings with friends at church and my family in other states. Thank you so much for doing these workshops and keeping us updated each day of how to “wheel and deal.” I love it.—Nora
Before we were married, my husband and I decided to live on one income so I could be at home with any children we might have. The Lord has blessed us with two kids and I have been able to be home with them since birth. But financially this is not always easy. . . . It has been five weeks since I took your first class and my grocery budget has gone down from $95 to $75 per week. My goal is $45 per week. . . . I regularly save 50 percent or more on my stockpile items. . . . My best shopping trip to date was to Publix. I spent $4.17 and saved $28.36. My husband was with me and when he saw the total, he was amazed. . . . The next day at Publix (a new sale week), I spent $7, saved $21—on fourteen items. . . . I can’t thank you all enough for your ministry.—Elizabeth
My grocery bill and budget has been $500 a month and we are building a house. I was trying to cut our bills down. The first time I went shopping, I was blown away how coupons changed my life. I went to the grocery store, bought $124 worth of groceries, and paid only $44. WOW!—Sharvetta
Time 2 Give
I’ve used coupons off and on for years. A friend at work told me about your blog in February and now I’ve turned into a coupon fanatic. Until reading your postings on your blog, I never realized stores doubled coupons or that you could “stack” coupons. Now, for the first time, my family has “name-brand” foods and plenty more. This past week I was able to donate a bounty of toiletry items for a Wounded Warriors project. What a blessing!—Betty
Although we’re considered “seniors,” saving money is still as important, especially since we’re on a limited income. After taking the coupon classes, I changed my way of shopping to incorporate what I had learned. The money we save now allows us to enjoy some of the benefits of being retired, like camping trips, extended vacations, and taking more trips for mission work. We can now spend time volunteering and giving to others in ways we wouldn’t have if we hadn’t been challenged to live focused outwards. Being able to bless others with groceries is a great way to be an example of Christ to them. I recommend the classes for anyone wanting to save money, shop wisely, and be able to share more with others.—Johnnie
I took the class last fall in Dayton, Tennessee. I am amazed at the amount of products I have stockpiled, so many that I give to others on a regular basis. I praise God for allowing me to minister this way. There are three elderly couples in my church who enjoy the fruits of my abundance. To hear them say those groceries and other household items are an answer to prayer fills my heart with joy. The soup kitchen, my family, and friends also receive overflows. I especially enjoyed saving on VistaPrint’s free business cards. I ordered 500 at a great price and used them for the Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis. They were a great hit! The best thing is I am staying in my budget.—Kathy
