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.
