    Comments from Workshop Participants:


    "I just wanted to let you know that your class was so
    energizing for everyone that was there.  I have heard people
    talking about it every day since then.  It has really spread
    like wildfire around the church.  Everyone is comparing
    savings all the time.  My next goal is to set up a coupon swap
    sometime during the summer.  Your class is such a gold mine
    of information."
    -Chris Aman, Archer's Lodge, NC, May 22, 2008

    "I know I've already thanked you for what I learned from your
    workshop, but I have to thank you again because now even
    my HUSBAND is hooked.   "Mr. I-hate-grocery-shopping"
    has spent the past two Saturdays going  to the grocery store
    w/our coupon binder and even VOLUNTEERED to go  
    again this week!  He stopped off at CVS on the way home and
    spent  $8.00 on $50.00 worth of items!  It's so funny - - he
    does this little song and dance thing when he gets home
    about how much money he saved - he's so proud of himself!  
    Ha!  It's almost like a game for him.    We've saved so much  
    more that we ever thought we would and are putting that
    savings into  paying off our debts and then into our kids
    college accounts.  I can't believe we used to pay full-price on
    everything!  THANK YOU Sooooo  much!"  
    - Toni Trone, Raleigh, NC, April 5, 2008

    "I wanted to let you know that your presentation was fabulous
    and inspiring; I clipped, organized and saved oodles on
    noodles -- as well as lots of other pantry staples!
    You will be pleased to learn that I am sharing the knowledge
    with clients so they too can shop smarter and save money
    weekly.  Great information.  Great sense of humor.  Great
    job!"
    -G e r a l i n  T h o m a s, CPO-CD, owner of
    Metropolitan Organizing ®, Raleigh, NC October 19, 2007

    "Faye, WOW is all I can say!  What a great presentation with
    TONS of information.  You wouldn't believe how excited and
    amazed all of the participants have been since your
    presentation.  Thank you, thank you for taking the time to
    talk to us."
    -Robin M. Haynes, February 19, 2008 ((Robin hosted a
    workshop for employees at the law firm where she works)

    Esteban attended a Smart Spending workshop on December 1,
    2007. Here is what he had to say about the class and his
    savings that weekend:
    "That was he best $15 I've spent in a while.  This weekend
    grocery shopping, I've saved $16 using coupons.
    For the CVS coupon (prescription transfer coupon) you gave
    me, I used that to buy toiletries at CVS worth $20 -- I still
    have $5 in the card.  I used my doctor's discount card word
    $30.  Instead of paying $45 for my medicine I paid $15.
    I used an Amazon coupon worth $25 at Amazon, so instead of
    paying $30 for the HP inkjet cartridges I paid $5.  I got that
    free shipping Amazon prime ($75 yearly subscription) so its
    free shipping.  A total of $90 savings this weekend.  My wife
    and I love you and the work you are doing!!!"
    -Esteban Culiat, December 4, 2007

    "I have just sent out an email telling all my friends how
    wonderful your class was, so you may get some requests for
    your yahoo groups.  I am heading to Walgreens today to get a
    free Airwick air freshener thanks to all your helpful advice
    on Saturday.  Thank you so much for sharing all your
    knowledge on how to save money.  You are a true blessing."
       -Tammy Tant, Clayton, NC 7/30/07

    "I LOVED taking your class last night in Clayton.  You are
    such an inspiration!  I am going to utilize coupons more than
    ever and follow as many of your moves as I can.  I was
    thrilled to attend and can’t wait to get my binder all
    organized, save money and pay off DEBT!"
    -Laura Yates, NC, Raleigh, NC, November 2006

    "I would like to let you know that I have taken Faye Prosser’s
    class and absolutely loved it. She taught us how to save at
    least 50% or more off of our grocery bill. With the money I
    saved, my husband and I were able to take our three children
    to Walt Disney World for 10 days!!!! I would put the
    difference of what the total bill was and what I actually paid
    in a savings account and in a little over a year’s time, we
    had enough to go for 10 days! And yes, even then I used her
    ideas to save even more money and still enjoy ourselves while
    down there. I use coupons every week and have had several
    stores even have to PAY ME to buy the items I have
    purchased. I know her system works because thanks to her I
    can stay at home with my three children(one of whom is
    disabled). For that, I am very grateful to her. She is a great
    inspiration to those of us who know her!"
    -Muriel Watson, Clayton, NC, May 2006

    "My name is Melissa and I took your class a couple of weeks
    ago at JCC.  I wanted to let you know that I have only been
    couponing for three weeks and have saved $211.43.  We will
    be applying that savings towards the price of a freezer.  
    Thanks so much."
    -Melissa, Clayton, NC,  November 2006

    " I wanted to thank you for such a great class, the overload of
    info and fantastic coupons. I have been personalizing my
    binder every spare minute and can't wait to use it. I have a
    feeling it will make the whole couponing process alot easier
    for me. And to anyone that is thinking about taking the class,
    it is definitely worth it. Definitely worth it for the laughs,
    knowledge and binder :)  So thanks again Faye!"
    -Lisa Holden, Wake Forest, NC,  November 2006

    "I’ve taken Faye Prosser’s class on saving money when
    grocery shopping. I use her ideas for a coupon notebook and
    clip coupons each week. I’ve learned the importance of
    looking for the sale items on things I buy/need and using
    double coupons in conjunction with the sale. I’ve been able
    to save a lot of money through this process.  I work full-time
    outside the home and it is worth my time to use the smart-
    spending system that I learned in Faye’s class. I would
    recommend this method to anyone…unless you prefer to pay
    full-price for all your groceries!"
    -Darlene, NC

    "Been couponing for 3 months now since taking Faye’s class.
    I used to spend approx $200 wk for my family - now I rarely
    spend $50. I make my grocery list/meal plan by what is on
    sale or what I already have (which is a lot, since I stock up
    when I find a good deal). I spend less than an hour a week
    clipping, organizing coupons & making my list. I figure I am
    paying myself $150 an hour for this service since that is what
    I now save each week."
    -Brenda, Clayton, NC

    "I want to thank Faye as well. It was SO nice to meet you and
    you were just as sweet in person as you seem on TV. Thanks
    again for all I have learned. I think the binder system is just
    the most incredible way to organize coupons, and I never
    could figure it out until I ordered one. SO glad I did."
    -Detra, Spartanburg, SC

    "Before I started couponing, I always felt like I was pouring
    money down the drain at the grocery store.  Now seeing how
    much I can save is like a sport! I can't get over the fact that
    in one short month (I took Faye's class on Jan. 31), I am
    saving HUGE DOLLARS on groceries, toiletries and
    household products!  I told my husband last night after
    getting $123.94 in groceries for $63.52, that I felt like I have
    been wasting so much money for so many years! Thanks
    again for your willingness to share all you've learned about
    couponing and smart shopping.  I finally feel like I've got
    control over our spending."
    -Keicha Berzins, Willow Springs, NC

    "I saved 50% off on my first shop! I can't tell you how excited
    I am!  My husband scoffed at the idea of me walking around
    with this binder full of coupons when I started this
    adventure.  Now that he's seen the grocery receipts, he said
    he promises to never make another snide remark about my
    thriftiness again."

    November 3, 2005, by Jennifer Konkol.  Jennifer attended a
    Smart Spending Workshop the week before writing her article.
