Upromise College Savings Program

Are you a member of the Upromise College Savings program? If not, you should be! Upromise offers everyday savings on thousands of companies from retailers to grocery stores for future college expenses. Since I joined, I have earned over $550 towards my kids college fund.

You simply register your credit cards and grocery cards, and that’s it. You’ll begin to earn savings from over thousands of  merchants once you are enrolled in the program. You can earn money by shopping online, purchasing groceries and much more.

You can use your savings towards your child’s college education expenses,  your own college expenses or you can donate your earnings to another Upromise member.

It’s a super easy way to start savings for a college education, and requires no additional effort other than registering your cards and spending money as you normally would.

Happy Saving!

Class on Couponing

I have been asked by several people if I would teach a class on couponing. I would be happy to if we could get at least 5 people together. If you would be interested, just leave me a comment. Thanks!

Think coupons are a waste of time?

For the next few days we are going to be talking about couponing for groceries. Please post any questions you may have.

If I had a dollar for every time I heard, "I don't have time to do coupons" or "you don't really save enough to make it worth while" I'd be a wealthy lady.

Here are two of my recent grocery shopping trips for you to decide if coupons are worth it!
