My Super-Couponing® live workshops have continually broken attendance records for venues hosting my popular grocery-savings classes, which attract tens of thousands of people each year.

Now, my workshops are available on DVD! You'll enjoy all of the same secrets, tips and techniques taught in my live Super-Couponing and Super-Couponing 2 classes! Learn how to easily cut your grocery bill by half or more in these video workshops that are fun, fast-paced and never boring! And, with Super-Couponing 2: Saving on Everything, you'll learn tips for saving on clothing, housewares, toys, holiday purchases... and everything else!

This isn't the coupon clipping of our parents' generation. With my "clipless" system, we don't cut any coupons until we're ready to use them, and we're not wasting hours each week managing hundreds of little pieces of paper. You'll learn how to save big in the least amount of time possible -- minimum effort, with the maximum payoff!

As my site has been receiving a great deal of traffic from new visitors searching for information on Super-Couponing and Extreme Couponing, I want to welcome our new blog members and brand-new coupon shoppers!

I'm Jill Cataldo, your blog host and coupon mentor. I've been teaching Super-Couponing® workshops since 2008, and via the techniques I teach, you can easily cut your grocery bill 50-70% and more with coupons.

Whether you learned about this site from a web search, a television segment, a friend, family member, or a stranger in the grocery store (who undoubtedly was buying a cart full of groceries for a ridiculously low amount of money, pointing out all of the FREE products they got!) ... you're in the right place to learn how to radically cut your grocery bill.

Ready to learn? Attend a Super-Couponing class or learn via my Super-Couponing DVD workshops! In only one hour, you'll learn how to shop like you never have before, saving 50-70% (and more!) on your groceries. All of the questions you likely have will be answered in a workshop that's fast-paced, fun, and never boring. (Watch Super-Couponing workshop video clips online!)

This isn't the coupon clipping of our parents' generation. We don't cut any coupons until the week we use them, and we're not wasting hours each week managing hundreds of little pieces of paper. You'll learn how to save big in the least amount of time possible -- minimum effort, with the maximum payoff.

But back to the blog! Since its inception in 2008, I've always striven to maintain an easy-to-use, beginner-friendly, ethical and instructional coupon blog. Newbie questions are welcome here -- we were all new once! It's my mission that my blog be the kind of website I wished I'd had when I was learning to coupon shop.

Each week, I post a weekly feature called "Deals of the Week." It's a write-up of all of the best sales (everything FREE or very cheap with coupons!) at seven major supermarkets and drugstores each week! Unlike other coupon blogs, which typically show individual coupon deals in a deal-of-the-day format that requires users to click and scroll through many pages to read each deal, my all-inclusive "Deals of the Week" puts ALL of the best deals in one place, on one page for you, categorized by store to make couponing simple, quick and easy.

Do you feel like you're spending too much money on groceries? Want to learn a fun, easy way to save money and shop smarter?

With Super-Couponing®, you'll learn how to maximize your grocery savings and purchase hundreds of dollars worth of groceries for pennies! I'll teach you the couponing secrets of the pros, which stores will let you stack multiple coupons, how to track sales and discounts online, and best of all - how to get the store to "pay you" to shop.

Here's a post from a new coupon shopper:

As a new couponer, I am trying to do my best to save some money for the family. And during the first purchase (after I started using coupons), I realized I might make the same mistakes as other shoppers who would take the coupon, which just comes out, to the store and end up only saving a small amount.

This is one of the most common mistakes that new coupon shoppers make -- they get the newspaper, cut coupons from it, and then take those coupons to the store the same week. With rare exception though, the week that a coupon appears in the paper is typically not the best week to use it. This is due to stores' pricing cycles, which are constantly fluctuating high and low. To use coupons effectively, time your coupon usage to sale prices with a savings of 50% or greater over the regular, non-sale price.

Look at this great example. This week, Archway cookies were on sale for .99 at a local store, Meijer.

This same little bag of cookies usually sells for $2.87! I love cookies, but I never would have bought them at that price.

But, this price drop from $2.87 to .99 is pretty significant. Already, if I wanted to buy these cookies, this would be a better time to purchase them, as the price has dropped about 65%.

Now, add a .45 coupon, and the cookies drop to .54!
