Praise for Coupon Queen

Susan Samtur

Susan Samtur is a pint-sized savings machine. Now she regularly saves two thousand dollars a year on her grocery bill and gets back two hundred dollars a month in refunds and rebates.

LiSA COLAGROSSI, WABC-TV Special Reports (New York)

Using her methods, Samtur shaved her grocery bill down to $18.04, a savings of more than $150, or 92 percent.

KRiS VAN CLEAVE, WABC-TV WJLA (Washington, D.C.)

Supershopper Susan Samtur has stunned the cashiers at the Shoppers at Anchor Square Place. She just bought $154 for $11.21 for a savings of $144.93.

JENNIFER FRANCIOTTI, WNBC-TV WBAL (Baltimore, MD)

I went in expecting the cart to spill over with unhealthy foods and things you probably dont need. I was wrong. We had fruit and produce. Frozen veggies and whole wheat bread. Tuna and olive oil.

RANA CASH, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Susan Samtur can buy for pennies and is showing South-west Florida how. Samtur can back up her words. On a shopping trip with the Daily News she bought $53 worth of products for $7 at Sweetbay using coupons for just about every item, including meat and produce.

JOHN FOERSTER, Naples Daily News

Susan Samtur rocks the grocery store. You will have to see her bill to believe: $181 for $18 bucks.

VICTORIA SPILABOTTE, KNBC-TV (Los Angeles, CA)

Smart shoppers [who follow Samturs advice] are still making a killing when they go to the supermarket.

JOHN MCCAA, WABC WFFA-TV (Dallas, TX)

There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but Susan Samtur has come pretty close. Shes the nations undisputed Coupon Queen. And, all its takes is a trip to the grocery store with her to understand why. Everything Susan buys she gets for pennies on the dollar.

NANCY PENDER, FOX (Chicago, IL)

[Samtur gives us] all the more reason... to be clipping coupons. I have a new incentive, Im committed.

COURTNEY GILMORE, NBC HPRC (Houston, TX)

But can [Samtur] really get this cart full of groceries for less than $20? Well see. I cant believe what I just saw... Im in shock!

NYDIA HAN, NBC WPVI (Philadelphia, PA)

I would like to thank my children, Stuart, Mark, Michael, and Adam, who have encouraged me throughout this process.

A special note to my husband, Steve, who has always been my most ardent supporter.

I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of my father, Leon Honickman, the best Supershopper of them all. I love you, Dad.

Introduction

The History of Supershopping

I STARTED THE COUPONING and refunding revolution with my 1979 bestselling book, Cashing In at the Checkout, and have helped millions of people save money at the supermarket.

Cashing In at the Checkout began with: It was only about two decades ago that a bottle of Coca-Cola cost you five cents. Today, the standard size bottle will run you from thirty-five to sixty-five cents. I hate to guess what it will cost by the time my children are grown. Well, today my children are grown, and the average price of a bottle of Coke is about one dollar. Not bad after thirty years. However, things arent so good for the majority of grocery products. The average prices of eggs, milk, and bread have risen over 420%. Unfortunately, these are items that we all need to buy on a regular basis. Manufacturers know this, which is why they are able to raise the prices. This is, after all, a supply-and-demand economy.

As I write this, the current economic climate isnt rosy. Unemployment rates are high and rising, and homes are going into foreclosure at an alarming rate. And although many experts predict that the worst is over, people are still facing rough times. Were all looking to cut costs wherever we can, and I know I can help.

In this new book, I want to introduce my brand-new, simple and comprehensive five-step Supershopping System, which can save you 50% or more at the checkout every time you shop. Yes, I said 50%. In fact, a seasoned Supershopper can save 75%, 85%, even 95% on grocery bills. But before I share my Supershopper secrets, I need to take you back to when it all started.

It was 1971: President Nixon was in office, Disney World just opened in Florida, and many Americans, including myself, were in need of extra money. I lived in a small apartment in the Bronx with my husband, Steve. We were both working as New York City schoolteachers, trying to make ends meet. I soon began collecting coupons to save money, something I had often seen my mother do. I immediately saw a reduction in my grocery bill, but I discovered that coupons alone were not enough. I started experimenting with different supermarket savings strategies. I tried everything from changing the stores I shopped at to buying in bulk, and everything in between. After about a year of this, I had finally fine-tuned my strategy and was now saving over 50% every time I went shopping.

Shortly thereafter, it dawned on me that I had to start spreading the word. So from the faculty room at my school was born Refundle Bundle magazine, which alerts consumers every month to over $400 in current refund and coupon offers. The magazine includes tips, Internet savings, coupon swapping, and company information packed into forty-eight pages. Creating the magazine was an enjoyable learning experience. Everything was done manually in those days. I wrote it up on a typewriter, used manual printing equipment, and printed up the magazine one copy at a time. In 1973 I began selling Refundle Bundle for profit. It soared in popularity, boasting over 410,000 subscribers from its original thirteen. I felt great satisfaction from helping those who needed it; something that has remained important to me to this day.

After Cashing In at the Checkout was published, I was considered the leading expert at saving money at the supermarket. The year before, I was given the title of Coupon Queen by Betty Furness of NBCs Today. I hold that title with great pride, having been the first Coupon Queen in the country, probably the world.

In 1976, when our first son was born, I took a leave of absence from teaching and became a more dedicated coupon shopper. I honed my skills so well that in February 1978, armed with my coupons and
