"I'm a professional couponer who shares tips with my millions of followers on social media. I have a long couponing history. Both of my parents got laid off during the recession and had two teenage daughters. They needed to figure out how to make ends meet quickly, so my mom took a community college class and learned the basics of couponing."
"When my husband and I became first-time parents, we had no money- like $50 to spend on Christmas. But we noticed there was so much clearance shopping after Christmas, and wondered if there was a way to celebrate Christmas in January. We came up with an idea when my kids were very little to get my kids a stocking and fill it with what we could afford, small things like candy and toys to open on Christmas Day."
A professional couponer in California shares money-saving strategies for shopping clearance sales year-round. Parents who lost jobs during the recession learned couponing in a community college class and used it to stretch resources for two teenage daughters. Early couponing involved clipping coupons and supplementing mall shopping. Shifting holiday shopping into January allows purchases at deep clearance discounts. Filling stockings with small affordable items plus a handwritten note and a gift card lets children redeem funds on post-holiday clearance trips. Turning clearance shopping into a hot-chocolate outing creates a memorable family experience while stretching limited holiday budgets. Santa brings realistic, practical gifts.
