Slate.com has a great story on coupon use today profiling not only Super-Couponing but one of our forum regulars shopping habits... take a look!

Now, everyone can Super-Coupon! :)

I've been posting about the great clothing bargains that can be found post-Labor Day, and I had to share this story with you all. Many of you know that I'm a devoted KISS fan, and while I don't have too many crossovers between my coupon life and my KISS life, occasionally the two do mix.

In my Super-Couponing 2 classes, I talk about the clothing cycles and best times to buy clothing at low prices. One of those cycles is taking place right now! The weeks prior to Labor Day, and post Labor-Day, are fantastic times to buy clothes. Let me show you some of the deals I've gotten this week...

September is National Coupon Month! To promote coupon use and talk about how much we really can save with coupons, I appeared on the news in over 30 markets nationally in September!

I'm in the Quad City Times today, in a story about my Super-Couponing class scheduled there this fall. This will be my first class in this area, and I know many people are excited, as I've got a good base of readers for my newspaper column, "The Coupon Queen" in the paper here too! Check it out:

Prepare for an "awakening," people. That's what Cataldo told me I could expect from her workshop, as we chatted on the phone the other day.
