I'm new to the "coupon game" and I can tell you Karen @ Frugal RI Momma has already saved me over a hundred dollars. If you follow her site you could easily save thousands each year. The class would make the transition to "couponing" easier and should be mandatory for everyone on food stamps. If you want your dollar to go farther, take her tips and run with them. What a small price to pay for a huge return on your money! Thank you so much, frugalrimomma.com, you have made me a smarter shopper!

Please realize that us coupon clippers and deal finders do put ALOT of time and effort into finding deals for others of which we do not receive ANY form of payment. I sacrifice much time each week to find deals for my family and friends too. If I was going to supplement my income too, I would charge for classes, you have to...Everybody seems to want everything for free these days.....They have no problem dropping $50 on dinner, but paying for a class would kill them....Karen you are doing great!

I have just received a lovely e-mail from frugalrimama and I can only say I am sorry! I, too, am one of those people and very sensitive about such things. She explained exactly what the class was about and why now I see!!! Thanks again frugalrimama for being so gracious. Sincerely, Helen Lopes grammea22@verizon.net

Today I got $155.83 worth of groceries at Stop & Shop. I paid ONLY $62.61. Karen taught me how to do that from her website AT NO CHARGE. I haven't taken the class. Karen's site IS there to help people who are hurting financially - I know because I am one of them. Feel free to email me and I will send you a scan of my Stop & Shop receipt verification. Put Stop & Shop in the subject, so I know that the email is not spam. Thanks Karen!! Westerly tapiocapdding@hotmail.com

If there is a misunderstanding I want to clear something up. All of the information on my website is FREE. Separately I also work for a company that offers classes for $25 (not $35) for people that want a different approach. Please feel free to visit my website www.frugalrimama.com which is FREE with all the information that helps you to save.

FrugalRIMama has given me the tools to save at least $100.00 a month off my grocery bill. Her website alone has taught me how to follow sales, use coupons and stock up on items, not to mention getting free items and samples in the process. I have stuck to my usual grocery list and only bought items I need. Thanks for helping my family save $$$$!!!

The frugalrimama said she just wants to "help people". Then why is she charging 35$ for a class to find stuff that is available on line if someone knew where to look. I think sites like this should not be for profit and especially not ones who are beneficial to people who are financially hurting. Sincerely, Helen Lopes North Providence grammea22@verizon.net
