Class Ideas part 2

So.  No comments concerning the things I posted previously about teaching a couponing class, so I'm going to assume that my thought process about what to teach was spot on.  :-)

I had included:

• my couponing testimony
• reasons to coupon
• sources for coupons and freebies (I added this last part.  It would include sites like freebieshark.com, vocalpoint.com, swagbucks.com and mention coupon codes for online shopping.)  
• storage
• terms (don't want to forget "rain checks")

So, now I think it might be time to discuss how I coupon. This would bring out couponing websites and tie in storage and terms.

As part of this, I would actually demonstrate how to do this by compiling a CVS list right in front of their eyes!!!  Isn't that exciting.  Actually, that's why I planned it on a Monday, so I could wait and do my list on Monday night!

Now, what they really want. Information about grocery stores.  Here are some of my thoughts:

•  A realistic goal is going to be 50% saving--Briana Carter of Bargain Briana
• To really score, you have to use sales, coupons, double coupons and stacking.
• Store policy.  Same store can have different policy.  Different doubling amounts.
• Keep track of Aldi prices to make sure you're really getting a deal.
• Extra ways to earn--bags, gas discounts, etc
• What else am I missing?

How about some things to watch out for or not to do?  This would be the "negative" section.  Things like expirations (coupons and products), decoding, making copies, brand loyalty, checking receipts, etc.  Oh, and give a heads up that it's school supply season.

Well, maybe I should end with some of my "victories".  So, I need to go through my posts and find some really good ones.

So, how does that sound?  It might work.
