About Us

~Neat “God Story”…
So I started teaching my friends how to coupon back in July 2009. I started this blog in Jan 2010 when my Aunt (Hi Tutu!) suggested posting one post on a blog instead of trying to email various people with BCC (to preserve email identities) with the weekly items I was going to buy! Also, so that everyone could opt in (and out) without needing me to update my email list. Well…2 hours east of me in Orlando FL was a person who would become a dear friend, Melisha, who also started a Coupon blog and teaching Couponing workshops! In just 10 short months we would help and encourage each other to the point that she jumped on board the TrueCouponing Train!! She now teaches all our workshops in the Orlando area and posts on the blog alongside myself. She is a woman of God and a Coupon Enthusiast! But I’ll let her tell you how it all came to be…

Kari has been one of Kati’s best buds for over 30 years (they met when they were only six)! She helps maintain our  email list subscriptions and helps with comments on several different store lists. Her hubby, Doug, worked at Publix for several years so they are loyal shoppers there for sure.

Summer is married to the Youth Pastor at Melisha’s home church, Eastpoint Fellowship. Even with the busy life of a Youth Pastor’s wife and Mom to 3 gorgeous children, Summer finds the time to help us out with Facebook, some store lists, our Regional Differences Orlando posts and more.

Debbie is one of Melisha’s closest friends. You may recognize her from helping at Orlando area workshops! She also helps to communicate with the Orlando Sentinel, so anytime you have an issue with your Orlando area newspaper, she will most likely be the one you hear from!  Debbie has learned about all kinds of behind-the-scenes things and is always there to help us with just about anything we need (too much to list!).

Karen has a really neat story of how she came to help TrueCouponing. She hosted a workshop! She was sooo passionate about helping people and couponing for her own family that we asked her to help us online! You will see her moderating comments mostly on the CVS and Publix lists because those are her two favorite stores! Karen has a knack for couponing and helps us with numerous tasks (too much to list!).

Makayla is Kari’s daughter, who helps out mostly on weekends and some evenings.  She is learning couponing early to get a good start on smart spending for the rest of her life!

Not pictured above:

Christine is one of Melisha’s closest friends (their families have been friends for over 8 years!). Believe it or not, Christine was pretty much a non-computer person until she came to help us. She is a naturally frugal person with a huge heart for service (sounds like the ultimate True Couponer, right?). Now…well, she isn’t afraid of computers anymore, that’s for sure! Her attention to detail and ability to quickly learn new things has made her a gem to us on the site!

Brandy started helping TrueCouponing at Orlando area workshops, and now helps to keep up with our Facebook page and hunt down deals. She is married to a Worship Leader for their church and home schools her two children.

Cindy first started helping TrueCouponing when our requests for workshops became too great for Kati and Melisha to handle. She was primarily the Pinellas county speaker because that is where she lives! She now helps to moderate comments on the site, so you can pretty much talk to her from any post! She is also a home schooling Mom to 4 kids.

Jill has known Kati for several years through their home school community.  She loves Walgreens as much as Kati! You will see her comment on any of the Walgreens lists because she can help to take the confusion out of Drug Store couponing!

Missy is our newest team member and met Melisha at their church.  She always has a smile on her face and a song in her heart (she loves to sing!). Her positive outlook is contagious to anyone she meets. Right now she is learning all kinds of things to help on the website and is already a true asset to our team!

~ Event Coordinator ~

Hi, I’m Sally! To begin, I’d like to say I love Jesus Christ with all my heart; he is my very best friend. I’m truly grateful to be part of the close Christian comradery of our TrueCouponing Team and to share in the ministry of serving and blessing others. I joined the TrueCouponing Team in September of 2010 as an assistant to my sister, Susanna Collins. I currently work alongside Loretta Mion in the Event Management area of TrueCouponing. So, if you choose to “host” one of our workshops, you will be in contact with me! I will list your workshop on Eventbrite (our on-line registration tool) and keep in contact with you, via email, regarding all technical items and logistics for your workshop. You may also contact me to learn your current workshop registration numbers or with any last minute hosting questions. I graduated from Oral Roberts University, Magna Cum Laude, with a degree in Elementary Education. My husband and I, along with our three children, live in Denver, Colorado. I’m a home-schooling mom and the only TrueCouponing Team member living out-of-state. However, with all of the great BOGO deals I keep seeing on the website, I’m thinking we may need to move to Florida!

~ Workshop Speakers ~

Loretta Mion came to TrueCouponing as a direct God-send! She has had a heart for motivational speaking since she was a little girl. And she loves the Lord with a passion that is contagious! Combine the two and you are in for the best workshops ever!! In her own words, this is how she came to know TrueCouponing: “Through my dear friend Susanna, I had been using the TrueCouponing method for about 8 months at that time, so it was exciting to actually be a part of the core team. As the Lord continued to expand TrueCouponing the need for more speakers became apparent and I was asked to help with our increasing demand for workshops. I welcomed the thought of public speaking…yes, I actually love it! I also love the fact that I can share the TrueCouponing message of savings for yourself, blessings for others. I am so blessed to be able to share couponing techniques that help families help themselves and in the process help others. I love that TrueCouponing methods teach people to be the hands and feet of Christ. And I so enjoy making it fun! I have been blessed by a wonderful, supportive husband for just about 23 years. Together we home educate our children, 2 have already graduated and 3 are still in the process. Prior to children, I proudly served as an United States Army officer and have jumped out of perfectly good airplanes! Blessed to be a blessing.”
