Joe The Coupon Guy gives a class at The News-Herald
Community Media Lab blogger
Joe The Coupon Guy presented a class to about 75 attendees at The News-Herald last night.
I, myself, enjoyed hearing some of his money-saving tips, and the program really made me consider how I'm spending my money and what I'm spending my money on.
One tidbit from Joe that I took away from the program: "One hour of couponing could save you $100."
Check out Joe's
upcoming class schedule as well as his page on
links and deals to learn some money-saving tips from someone who has spent 11 cents on toothpaste and saved more than 100 percent on one shopping trip.
