I know it’s been a while since I’ve had an Addicted to Saving 101 class, so I’ve decided to give one at my home church again, Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater, FL. It’s a fairly central location in the Tampa area, and they can hold a lot of people! (See below for Child Care Instructions.)
As many of you know, my husband and I are adopting internationally from Ethiopia and Haiti. In attempt to raise awareness of the plight of the orphan, as well as the outrageous cost of international adoption (we anticipate the final tab for two children to be upwards of $60,000), we will be conducting this seminar totally free. However, we will be accepting donations at the door and will be selling bracelets made by Haitian artisans, $4 of which goes directly to the artisan’s family to help lift them out of the poverty caused by the recent devastation there. So we are really excited to hold this seminar in particular!
In my class, I will be showing how saving 75% or more on your grocery bill by using coupons is absolutely possible. Not only is it an empowering feeling, but by being good stewards of our money, it gives us the opportunity to bless others with the extra resources we have. I will teach you the skills necessary to save big in this introductory Addicted to Saving 101 class. Come and find out how!

- Introduction to couponing
- Introduction to coupon organization

Cost: FREE (If you have followed my blog at all, then you know that my husband and I are in the midst of adopting two children internationally, one from Ethiopia and one from Haiti. We are giving this class free of charge but will be accepting donations to help pay for the over $60,000 in expenses we anticipate during this adoptive process. We will also be selling bracelets made by Haitian artisans that will not only help us raise funds, but will assist parents to rise out of the extreme poverty caused by the recent devastation there.)

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
