I Was on the News!

Recently I was speaking to a few people telling them about using my coupons and all the great deals I have been getting. One of the ladies is a reporter for Channel 3 News. She asked if I would let her interview me about my coupons and my deals. I was a little nervous at first, but I decided to do the interview. I thought other people might see me and decide they could also save money using coupons. She arrived at my house and did the interview there. After the it was over, she and the camera man followed us to Kroger. We walked around the store shopping for the things on my list. It was a very interesting process. It was fun. The girls enjoy watching us on the news. If you are interested, my husband uploaded the interview segment to YouTube. Click HERE to watch.
