About me:
You've heard the the old saying"Nothing in life is free" right? Well not anymore. My name is Melissa Garcia and I am a mother of two children ,Taylor my daughter and Ryan my son. I got married in 1995 and we decided to have our first child 6 months after.Thats when my husband and I decided that I was going to be a stay at home mom. My husband bought us a computer and soon we got the internet. Boy did that open a whole new world to me! I soon started chatting with moms who clipped coupons,sent in refunds and frequented freebie boards.
My husband thought I was silly. The first month I would save over half on my grocery bill, the second month I was bringing home receipts showing him how I got stuff free at the grocery store. I think he must have fell out of his chair when the third month came along and I came home and the store actually had to pay me to shop there (sitting here laughing and reminicing all these memories while writing this).
Well friends and relatives start asking how are you doing this? So of course I got them started and then eventually started my own website online! My site started out small but quickly grew to over 4,700 people now both men and women and we are growing larger everyday.
Everything is growing so quickly that even my children have stepped into help. My children sit down with me and help me sort, staple & cut my coupons. They are learning the value of saving money. This the perfect time for me to sit down and talk to my kids! Of course daughter is picking up on it faster than my my son. Ryan will say mom can we get that and Taylor will say "Not unless mom has a coupon for it" LOL!! I do alot for people and Im very envolved in my childrens activities. Im one of those people who can't say no LOL and sometimes I feel stressed and under appreciated. I know there are other people out there like me and that is another reason why I started this website. Everyone I know calls me "The Consumer Queen".. My husband is so proud of me that he carries a picture around of me standing next to my free stuff!!.My husband was diagnosed with a degenerative disease and now saving money has become a neccesity for us. I have learned to turn something I have to do into a fun hobby.
We not get media attention as well.Our local news station has called me to do SEVERAL interviews which you can see athttp://www.channeloklahoma.com (do a search for coupon queen) We have done channel 5 news, channel 9 news, Fox 23 in Tulsa and currently doing a weekly spot on Kiss 98.9FM every wed. morning between 8 & 9 am.My dream now is to go on the "Oprah Show"!!!
We now offer coupon classes online. We hope this gets you as much enjoyment and money savings tips as we do!! My goal is to help the world fight hunger and waste,if only by starting with these small steps.
