Meet Jasmine
Hey! I’m Jasmine. I used to shop clearance clothing deals and use a restaurant coupon occasionally, but I felt anything beyond that was likely a waste of time.
Then, life struck.
Money was tight and I was stressed. After looking for a solution to stretching what little money I had, I found a printable grocery coupon while browsing the web. For the next few months I taught myself how to coupon, and before I knew it, I was finding deals on everything on bought!
I started my blog two years ago with the hopes that someone in my situation could learn that being a smart shopper truly pays off. Now I am able to not only save on the things I need, but I can spend money on the things I want without paying anything close to retail price.
With the use of coupons and deals, we became debt free at the end of 2011 when we eliminated over $15,000 of credit card debt within a one year period.
During the year we eliminated our debt we:
:: Went out more (movies, dining) but only paid 50% or less through the use of daily deal vouchers
:: Found out my daughter has an gluten intolerance, which resulted in a gluten free diet
:: Began making/buying healthier food options thanks to menu planning
Whether you are also looking to get out of debt or you simply want to scale back your spending, using coupons and picking up great deals can help take you to your goal.

Hey Nedra,
I’m not sure what’s going on with my button…I will email you the code and definitely put yours on my blogroll! Thanks for telling me about it!

Happy Savings!
Nedra
Thanks Nedra! I appreciate it! Sorry for the quirky issues before!
It’s great meeting you Jasmine. I’ve been enjoying your blog the past month and love that you show pics of all your shopping trips! That’s the motivation I need!
Thanks Tracy! It’s readers like you that keep me blogging daily! I hope you’ll enjoy going on shopping trips with me via video in the next few weeks!
I stumbled onto your youtube video series after watching a different “coupon lady”. I have to admit I’m addicted to your videos now, lol. You’re very well spoken and your videos seem to be better thought out than others
You give me the motivation to stick with it…thanks!
Thank you Deana! That means so much to me
There’s a very small niche for quality YouTube videos that deal with couponing, and I spend many hours editing the videos so you can get all the info you need without my rambling. I’m really glad you enjoy them!!
Oh, and I saw your question about where I got my purse- I picked it up at Marshalls! It’s Nine West, and I think it was around $15-$20. It’s a good quality, which is important- my other purse strap broke because my coupon binder was too heavy! LOL
Jasmine- I just started couponing a few weeks ago, and I cannot tell you how amazed I am at what you’re doing with this blog. The fact that you find the time to help so many people, even though you have a young’un to take care of is really inspiring for me.
I wish I could find a coupon blog as good as yours for where I live, but I could not find any on your nationwide Dealicious finds page.
Is it hard to get started finding my own deals in my area? Would you mind sharing what you have to go through to find all these great coupon match-ups?
I really appreciate any help you can give me.

You can always use my coupon database here: http://dealiciousfinds.com/coupons/coupon-database/
And you can learn how to use the database here:

Take your weekly grocery ad and if you see something you want to buy, just type it in the database and see if there’s a coupon!
I hope that helps you!
