About Us

True Couponing^sm is a method for using consumer coupons for groceries, home and personal care products.  We bring the FUN back into the mundane Grocery Shopping Trip!! Come to a free training class and learn how to save for your own family while being able to bless others as well!!

Hi there! I’m Kati and to lay-it-all-out-there… I’m a follower of Christ, Wife to one, Mom of four, and deal sharer to all!!  We are trying to be the best stewards of what God has given our family. Couponing is a blessing, and I believe my ministry is to help others EASILY learn to save, too!!

My background is this, I earned a B.S. in Accounting at the University of South Florida, and managed a multi-million dollar payroll and Fixed Assets for Baxter International Healthcare before deciding with my husband, James, to homeschool our four children. In addition to homeschooling, I worked part-time as an accountant for Bell Shoals Baptist Church (our home church), and volunteered in several community associations when I first founded True Couponing^sm. In other words, I have a very busy life!  The True Couponing^sm method works for my family and this website allows me to share it with you.  Basically, True Couponing^sm, is NOT the old-school way of using coupons that I found –and you also might have found– so frustrating and demotivating. On this website you’ll find my basic method, workshop schedules, current coupon match-ups, and you’ll learn all the lingo like “match-ups.”  You’ll also read testimonials from people I’ve personally trained and shopped with, but my own testimony is the first I’ll share. I’m a homeschooling mother of 4, three sons and one daughter, and the wife of a big guy (he stands 6’4”). Our grocery bill was $600 a month, which I thought was great budgeting and rather low. But once I figured out True Couponing^sm and started using it (out of necessity, due to a paycut from James’ job in Jan 2009), our monthly grocery bill, including household and personal care supplies, is now $200 a month. This is a system I can use even though I’m homeschooling four different grades, sharing the work-load on this blog, and volunteering in several community associations. “True Couponing^sm is truly doable!”

Hello! My name is Melisha.  I am very blessed to be Mom to 5 wonderful kids ages 17 – 5. I have been married to my best friend and high school sweetheart, John, for over 21 years.  I enjoy serving at Eastpoint Fellowship as the leader of our Women’s Ministry and singing with our Praise Team.  My hobbies include my computer (and all geeky things), photography and the beach. Above all else, I am a follower of Christ and try to please Him in all I do.

I graduated from Auburn University in 1991 with a degree in Elementary Education specializing in Mathematics.  (I have always had a thing for numbers!)  After teaching for a few years and starting a family of our own, we decided I would quit my job to stay home with the children.  We were always running out of money before the next paycheck came.  For years we did not manage our money God’s way.  We accumulated a lot of credit card debt, and our grocery bill had grown to an enormous $350 per week!   Something had to change.

In January 2009 my husband informed me there was no money for a vacation I had my heart set on.  That was the “last straw” and what motivated me to get serious about our family’s budget. I began researching ways to save money with coupons.  Over several months and using a method much like the current True Couponing method, our grocery budget decreased from $350 to $70 per week.  That was a savings of over $1000 per month for our family!  Friends and strangers began to ask me to teach them how to save this kind of money.  Soon, God had led me to teach classes and start a blog to help even more people.

A few months after I started my blog, I was contacted by a lady named Kati from Tampa.  I was so excited to meet a person who shared my heart and calling to minister to people using a coupon blog (who knew?)!  We began helping each other behind the scenes and our friendship grew.  Ten months later we both felt God calling us to work together to help even more people with this ministry.  I am so honored to be a part of this very special True Couponing Team!

~ Workshop Event Coordinator(s) ~

Hello!  I am Laura and I met TrueCouponing when Kati and Susanna came to my church to “train us couponers up in the way we should go…”  It was through the process of planning that very workshop that I felt God’s calling on my heart to serve Him through couponing.   He created this passion in me that I never knew existed.  I love to tell others about couponing and I love sharing our abundance with them!  In addition to being a member of our team of speakers, my primary role with TrueCouponing is to schedule and coordinate meeting requests. (So, if you would like to schedule a couponing workshop for your church or organization, simply email me to get the ball rolling!) I have a degree in marketing and previous work experience in meeting planning and church administration, coupled with the spiritual gifts of administration, hospitality and creative communication, it is no wonder that God placed me here!My husband Chris and I, along with our two children, are proud to be a part of the TrueCouponing family.  It is not only a privilege to be serving in this ministry, but blessing others has been an amazing blessing to us!

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 Laura Rolston in the Event Management area of TrueCouponing. So, if you choose to “host” one of our workshops, you will be in contact with me once you have accepted a workshop date for your venue. 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 host questions.  I am also one of the “material” writers for TrueCouponing. We are actually hoping to publish our first couponing book, very soon! So, keep an eye out for it on the website!  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 we keep listing on our website, I’m thinking we may need to move to Florida!

~ Workshop Speakers ~

Loretta 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 started helping on the website with weekly matchups.  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.

Welcome, Cindy H.! She is one of our newest additions and will be speaking at True Couponing workshops!

Hello, my name is Jennifer! I am really and truly grateful not only to be a part of the True Couponing team, but I am also extremely thankful for the people who have become a part of my life through True Couponing. It has been an amazing gift of encouragement and inspiration that each and every True Couponer has had on me and the difference it has made in my life! I have not only learned to save my money for my family but I have also learned the true meaning of giving! I have always really enjoyed giving and being a blessing in others’ lives, but it has grown into such a bigger gift than ever since becoming a True Couponer! I have a deep love for Jesus Christ and through His love I have been shown how to become a better person inside and out! My number one goal is to show that love through my life to those around me, letting that love be an inspiration to and have an impact on others through teaching them how to be good stewards of their money; first by trusting in the Lord to provide for their needs and also by the simple use of coupons. I have a true passion for teaching people about True Couponing, but I also appreciate being able to step back and see what this ministry doing in the lives of others. I am so grateful that True Couponing has been able to give me a chance to do this. God Bless each and every one of you!
