Review of the SMART couponing system
Just by way of an update to the SMART couponing system, the price of the system will be going up shortly (it’ll be going from a one off payment to a monthly subscription, which will cost you MUCH more). If you’re even thinking about the SMART couponing system, grab it NOW, before the price increase. Remember, you still have the money back guarantee!
Now, on with the review -
Even though this site is mostly about coupon clipping services, I expect that there are people out there (quite rightly) who would rather learn how to clip and use their own coupons rather than buying them from a coupon clipping service.
The problem with this is that there is a lot of information out there about the best way to use coupons, but it’s scattered all over and it would take you a while to collect it all! There really hasn’t been a single source which offers you everything you need to learn about using coupons.
That changed recently when Jessica Richardson released her SMART (Save Money And Relieve Tension) couponing system.
I was pretty impressed by her site, it’s clear that she’d spent a LONG time putting this system together (you have to check out the “Cashdance” video, it’s hysterical – Cashdance video)
The site goes into a lot of detail about what is contained in each of the videos. What impressed me the most was the testimonials (I have taken the liberty of grabbing one for you to see).
Unlike a lot of other products where the testimonials are quotes from faceless people, Jessica has videos of a number of people who are successfully using her system.
So I purchased a copy (a 60 day money back guarantee meant I really didn’t have anything to lose!).
Once I’d purchased it, I was sent a welcome email and password access to her site, where the videos and PDFs are locked away!
The videos are broken out in to 4 modules, with a number of videos in each module, a total of over 2 1/2 hours.
In Module 1 “Building your foundations” you learn
- Why it actually makes sense to buy the “smaller” size item rather that the “value” size
- How to ELIMINATE 70-80% of your shopping list after just a couple of months (hint – it’s all about stockpiling!)
- Why the “expensive”s stores in your area are actually the BEST places to save money
as well a HUGE number of other tips and strategies.
The Module 2 (“Insider secrets of putting high value deals together”) Jessica reveals her secret strategies for
- Stacking, BOGOs, piggy backing and lots of other weird sound strategies that put even more money in your pocket.
- Little known coupon rules that put money in your pocket, week after week
The Module 3 “Couponing goes Global”, Jessica covers
- Her favorite source for finding the hottest deals in your area
- How you can guarantee your transaction will deliver instant savings every time
The final module (Module 4) covers keeping your coupons and deals organized. Here, Jessica offers tips for
- Streamlining your process to save the maximum amount of money in minimum time
- Create a coupon binder to keep all of your coupons together
- Her proprietary “Speed” method for coupons together at check out time
When I purchased Jessica’s system, some additional bonuses were included
- Her “figure the deals” worksheet which helps you save as much as you can with each shopping trip
- Her strategies for storing the haul of groceries and personal items you buy for next to nothing!
- Free lifetime updates of her system – Jessica spends a LOT of time testing new techniques to save even more money, together with regular emails useful information to keep you on the saving “cutting edge”
So, is it any good?
None of the videos are very long, Jessica gets right to the point (I hate sitting through fluff, waiting for the person to get to the point, or “pad” the video so they seem like better value!) The PDFs are also located directly under each video (she refers to them) so it’s really easy to watch the video and refer to the PDF at the same time. The PDFs really drive home the messages from the videos and are great to have.
Just a word about the videos themselves, she’s clearly gone to a lot of effort in these. They are well light, easy to view and sound recording is good (no straining to hear!)
Here’s a sample
As for the content…..pretty dang impressve. Jessica clears knows a lot about couponing (and has certainly done her homework). There is a mass of great information for people just starting in couponing and well as seasoned couponers.
What I found particularly useful was the section on tracking and storage (Module 4). Using SMART strategies, you are able to stockpile a huge amount of food and other items over a short period of time, which raises some questions as to how you can store all this stuff – a great problem to have!
I’m very pleased that I bought the SMART couponing system, as it has saved much much more that the few dollars I paid for it!
If I were you, I’d order the SMART system at once! (remember, you have a 60 day guarantee if you’re not totally satisfied, so you really don’t have anything to lose)!
The price of the SMART system is going to be increasing shortly, so grab your copy before the price goes up!
Just an FYI – the SMART system used to be called the Money Maniac system!
Besides, with all the money you’ll be saving, you can treat yourself to something rather wonderful – his and hers wedding bands!
