From Penny Pincher to "
Coupon Queen "
by: Melissa
Garcia
You've heard the the old saying"Nothing in life is free" right? Well not
anymore. My name is Melissa Garcia and I am a mother of two children
,Taylor my daughter and Ryan my son. I got married in 1995 and we
decided to have our first child 6 months after.Thats when my husband and
I decided that I was going to be a stay at home mom. My husband bought
us a computer and soon we got the internet. Boy did that open a whole
new world to me! I soon started chatting with moms who clipped
coupons,sent in refunds and frequented freebie boards.
My husband thought I was silly. The first month I would save over half
on my grocery bill, the second month I was bringing home receipts
showing him how I got stuff free at the grocery store. I think he must
have feel out of his chair when the third month came along and I came
home and the store actually had to pay me to shop there (sitting here
laughing and reminicing all these memories while writing this).
Well friends and relatives start asking how are you doing this? So of
course I got them started and then eventually started my own website
online! My site started out small but quickly grew to over 2,000 people
now both men and women and we are growing larger everyday.
Everything is growing so quickly that even my children have stepped into
help. My children set down with me and help me sort, staple & cut my
coupons. They are learning the value of saving money. Of course daughter
is picking up on it faster than my my son. Ryan will say mom can we get
that and Taylor will say "Not unless mom has a coupon for it" LOL!! I do
alot for people and Im very envolved in my childrens activities. Im one
of those people who can't say no LOL and sometimes I feel stressed and
under appreciated. I know there are other people out there like me and
that is another reason why I started this website. Everyone I know calls
me the "Coupon Queen".. My husband is so proud of me that he carries a
picture around of me standing next to my free stuff!!.Why even our local
news station has called me to do SEVERAL interviews which you can see at
http://www.channeloklahoma.com (do a search for coupon queen) My dream
now is to go on the "Oprah Show"!!!
We will be starting some coupon classes and also hope to get involved
with the battered womens shelters soon!! We hope this gets you as much
enjoyment and money savings tips as we do!!

find the deals as sometimes we find out about stuff thats on clereance
before its even marked!!! You should see my gift closet. I already have
most of my Christmas shopping done!! We help each other out when we find
an amazing clearance sale like $60 karioke machine that I got for $9 or
