I am very interested in attending your class tommorrow August 31st at the CDA library, do I need reservtions or just stop by? Is the class 2 hours? Thank you
Tina Brown

Kari August 29, 2012 at 9:13 pm: Hi Tina!
I am glad you can join us! We ask that people register so we have an idea how many to plan for! Yes, the class is 2 hours long. The first hour is coupon basics, then the second hour touches on how to shop at some of our local stores. Should I add you to the list of those who are coming?

is this going to be the only class in coeur d alene?

Kari August 30, 2012 at 12:29 pm: Hi Melissa! September is pretty booked out right now, so I’m not sure if we will get a CDA class in September, but we will be back in CDA the first week of October if we aren’t able to get something set up before that.

Hi, I just got home late last night from having a pace maker put in my chest and am not able to make your classes in Spokane this time. Will you being having more? If so will you please let me know when and I would really enjoy coming to your Couponing class. Thank you so much. Donna

Kari September 8, 2012 at 3:08 pm: Hi Donna, I hope you have a quick recovery!
We will have a Spokane class again on October 20th, and will have them once a month after that. We do not have the November class scheduled yet. I hope you can join us when you get back on your feet!

Hello I’m so glad I searched for coupons on Craig’s list and found that you guys are offering free classes on how to coupon. I am new up here and I have been trying to figure out how to get started with coupons. I had interest in wanting to coupon myself since my mom does coupons but now I’m far away so I have to get started somehow and this class is a life saver. Thank you for being so thoughtful. I would like to reserve for 2 on september 20th at 5:30 in spokane however, I have work around that timing. I dont have set work schedule quite yet cause they just give it to me. So I am hoping I can make October 18th 5:30 Class in Spokane. I look forward to the class, thank you. Deidre

Kari September 15, 2012 at 5:54 pm: Hi Deidre!
I’m glad you found us! We have a class in Post Falls on the 25th of September if you would want to drive over if you can make that one? If not, I am more than happy to help you however I can until you can make it to the class on the 18th of October!

Have you read our Couponing Basics section? It might help you get started on learning some of the basics to couponing. Here is a link if you want to check it out: http://www.rakinginthesavings.com/beginners-start-here/

That is great that your mom coupons, so you have an idea how it works! You can email me anytime at rakinginthesavings at gmail dot com and I am happy to help you get started however I can since the class is aways out!

Hi Kari .. so I have a request .. can you do the CDA library coupon class more often? I see you wrote that you will be having monthly Spokane classes, I didn’t see that you are offering that to the Coeur d Alene coupon lovers

Just a request .. I love the classes & plan to attend them ALL in Coeur d Alene (if I can). I may hop on over to the Post Falls library next week for that one too.

Thanks
Melissa

Kari September 17, 2012 at 9:48 pm

Hi Melissa!
We are doing one class per month in CDA, one in Post Falls, and one in Spokane, so the Idaho readers actually have two options per month! That is unless we start getting lower attendance.

Well the CDA one had to be moved to Hayden for the next one because we are having a hard time with getting the room at the CDA Library. We are looking out to November for CDA library. Can you attend the one October 1st in Hayden, or do you not want to drive out there?

Melissa Kuntz September 23, 2012 at 2:40 pm

Hello Kari! Driving out to Hayden isn’t a big deal, its closer than Post Falls, however, I have to work til noon on the day it is in Hayden. I will be attending the Post Falls class on the 25th … who is the instructor??

Thanks!

Kari September 23, 2012 at 2:50 pm: Hi Melissa!
Norma is our coupon teacher at all of the classes except for that one in CDA where she had a prior commitment. So she will be the one at both of them (and the Spokane classes as well). I’m glad you can join us again!

I would like to attend the coupon classes on November 15, 5:30pm at the Spokane Salvation Army location. Do I need to bring anything?? Maybe I will bring my daughter in law as well.

Thank you….

Kari October 25, 2012 at 9:36 am: Hi Susan! If you can bring your daughter in law, that would be great as well! The more, the merrier! We will give you hand outs while you are there, so you shouldn’t need to bring anything unless you want to bring something to write with to take some notes while you’re there. We’re glad you can join us!

Kari November 28, 2012 at 9:16 pm: Hi Pauline!
I’m sorry you are unable to make any of the Spokane Classes. We do not have a class scheduled up that way at this time, but it is always a possibility. Do you know of any others who coupon that might want to attend? We try to shoot for 10 people at each class in the outlying areas so we can reach more people when we are out there. I am more than happy to help you however I can until we can set something up! Feel free to email me anytime at raking in the savings @ gmail dot com with any questions you may have. Have you done much couponing so far?
