What are people saying about Super-Couponing? From attendees: "I was a casual coupon user until I took Super-Couponing. I used to clip my coupons, go to the store that week, and buy what I thought I needed. Little did I know that if I had waited a few weeks, I would have likely gotten that same item for almost nothing. When you leave Super-Couponing, you are no longer a casual couponer. Jill taught me a whole new way to use coupons to my advantage. I used to think saving 35 cents to $1.00 on an item was a big deal, until I went to Super-Couponing. Now I pay very little for my groceries for a family of 6. Before Super-Couponing, I used to spend about $250 a week after coupons. Now I spend around $45. No kidding, no joke." - P. Rea, class attendee "Our family just started Super-Couponing this fall. We have completely changed our shopping and eating experience. We went from spending $250 a week to more like $100/week (even with 3 in diapers!) We now eat a much greater variety of foods. Our former $250/week was what we thought was bottom of the barrel -- Wal-Mart/Aldi shopping, only generics, a lot of cooking from scratch, minimal fresh produce... now we have bacon-wrapped filet, fresh produce every week, Kraft cheese, and lots of foods on Jill's deals that we thought were just too fancy to spend "extra" on! ... We benefit so much from Jill's insights (and research!)...So glad I went to Jill's class! - E. Jeanne, class attendee Fantastic, fast moving, very informative presentation. Covered a lot of bases. I picked up a quite a few pointers I'd previously had no clue about. I will definitely be devoting a little more time putting together the deals. Courteously answered all questions -- none were beneath her and her enthusiasm in sharing her knowledge was obvious. Literally blew my mind with the opportunities that exist. In this recession, I don't have many places to rob Peter and pay Paul. Even stayed an hour after class ended to advance other ideas on saving when asked, i.e., cable tv. Definitely worth setting aside an hour of your day. You gain enough info to pursue huge savings! - C. Dolrskolr, class attendee "I attended the presentation at the Wauconda Public Library this afternoon and I just wanted to say thank you' for sharing this amazing program you have developed. I am a coupon clipper/ user and your presentation showed me how much more I could be saving. I was really blown away, and I can't wait to get the Sunday paper tomorrow, so that I can really start applying some of the great tips you provided. I am especially excited to start having store pay me to take things home instead of me paying them. Excellent program and fabulous presentation." - K. Bianco, class attendee I just want to express my gratitude for what you’re doing. A month ago, I was depressed about being broke, and now I’m excited about saving money. Seriously, I made my car payment from the money I saved... I am totally sincere in saying that I had much more fun at your class than at my best friend's wedding last month! C.Pohl, class attendee "Thank you so much for being willing to share your experience with so many people... I have learned so much and saved hundreds... During the holidays.. last year, we had six extra people to feed for a month and we spent $2500. This year I spent $300 extra than our normal food budget. You inspire me to find lots of ways to save money for my family." - Ashburn family, class attendees "You did an incredible job with your presentation. The visuals and verbal explanations were excellent. My girlfriend and I left saying that we are getting a freezer in February. Thank you so much for sharing your tips. We are very excited about your second installment! It's also great how you are sharing your freebies and tips with the food pantry." - T. Red, class attendee "Thanks so much for giving last night's class! 2 neighbors and I attended and thought it was just great! We were little coupon users and were excited about 4-5 dollars of coupons savings. Right now our heads our spinning and we want to go shopping. We now see it's necessary to have a plan before we head shopping anywhere...Your excitement is contagious! With the economy currently the way it is, this could help anyone make a huge difference! Thank you so much!" - Lisa S., class attendee   From organizations: "Thank you for putting on the most successful program I never had to promote! In some ways you are living the performance life of a rock star: sold-out shows every time. You even have your own groupies! The information you presented to our patrons was invaluable and especially timely in this uncertain economic climate. For many, your program will prove to be a pivotal event in their shopping lives. Several of our staff members couldn't wait for your presentation here and traveled to other locations to get the scoop. Their success stories and enthusiasm for the hunt attest to the value of your material. Thank you for relinquishing family time to enlighten the uninitiated at the Round Lake Area Library. Your presentation was crystal clear, well-paced and highly entertaining. Who could ask for anything more? I wish you continued success with your programs and ideas." - Candice Lutz, Adult Programming Round Lake Area Library Round Lake, Illinois Super Couponer Jill Cataldo brought her Super-Couponing program to the [Shorewood] library. This program was very well attended, and Jill delivered a message that can truly benefit many people in our community. As she said, "everybody has to eat," and her methods offer a way for all to spend more frugally while getting the food and household items that we need, whether that be for our own households or for our local community food banks. Jill's commitment to her own local food bank and her passion to teach families how to stretch that budget to unimaginable lengths was an inspiration. Shorewood Public Library Shorewood, Illinois "I know it sounds too good to be true, but Jill, the Super Couponing Queen, taught the audience how to do all she promised in a very understandable and doable way. She had a PowerPoint presentation with documentation of coupons and store receipts to back up all her claims and shared many of her excellent couponing secrets that she has learned from her own couponing. The audience loved her and we have already had calls this morning of people raving about the program asking us to have her back. She is worth every penny!" - Heather Olson, Reference Librarian Huntley Area Public Library Huntley, Illinois "Jill gave an awesome presentation at the Woodridge Public Library... In a room filled to capacity, she shared her PowerPoint presentation, a lively, fast-paced, extremely informative session lasting about an hour. Then she patiently answered numerous questions from the audience for at least half an hour. She is enthusiastic, energetic, funny, and obviously loves sharing her expertise with others. We are looking forward to having her back for a second session!" - Kay Kohut, Reference Librarian Woodridge Public Library Woodridge, Illinois "Thank you for a delightful and informative program Super-Couponing at the Deerfield Public Library. Your enthusiasm for your subject is contagious. Some of the comments on the program evaluations: 'Sensational!' 'Expert presentation,' 'She did a fabulous job!' Several said they want to hear your advanced program." - Lynette Stone, Adult Programming Coordinator Deerfield Public Library Deerfield, Illinois "Thanks again for another successful Super-Couponing program at the Carol Stream Public Library. Your programs continue to generate some of the highest interest we have ever had for adult programs." - Adriana Albers, Reference Librarian Carol Stream Public Library Carol Stream, Illinois "Thank you on behalf of the Roselle Public Library for presenting your program "Super-Couponing" at the library. In today's tough economy people turn to their public library for information and materials about saving money. Your enthusiastic presentation provided loads of pertinent and valuable tips on using coupons. Everyone who attended the program appreciated the detailed examples and handouts that you provided and most especially how you generally shared your couponing expertise. We were so very pleased to be able to present this program as a library-sponsored program. Once again, thank you for your time and efforts to help the library provide such entertaining and educational programming for our patrons. I look forward to having you back again in the fall to present another couponing program." - Debbie Miel, Reference and Adult Services Roselle Public Library Roselle, Ilinois
