The Cove Church – Mooresville, NC – Financial Learning Experience

I am PUMPED to be teaching the Financial Learning Experience at The Cove Church in Mooresville, NC each of the next two evenings - Monday (11/16) and Tuesday (11/17)! The event is FREE, childcare is provided through 5th grade, and a light dinner will be provided.   All you have to do is REGISTER HERE.   So invite your friends, co-worker and family to attend this life-changing event! ADDITIONAL NEWS: We are now PUMPED to offer our class for YOUTH - in fact, it will be taught at The Cove Church on Wednesday night!   This new class is based on my new book, What Everyone Should Know About Money Before They Enter THE REAL WORLD which will begin shipping December 15th - preorders will begin tomorrow! We are super-excited about this new class because we can focus on PREVENTING financial mistakes instead of CURING them!   YES!   If you are interested in booking this class for your church, school, or business, contact our team HERE.

Demand A DEAL!

Back when I was B-R-O-K-E, I always paid retail price for nearly everything.   It was one of the key reasons we were broke. Now, I am always looking for a deal because it MAXIMIZES every dollar I earn.   Over the past year, I have been blown away by how much money can be saved on groceries by using coupons and matching them with discounted products. Here are some of my recent shopping trips (I shared these real-time on Twitter):
  • Publix   Bill: $36.15   Paid: $12.95
  • Bloom   Bill: $45.60   Paid: $14.13
  • Bloom   Bill: $60.95   Paid: $17.73
  • Publix   Bill: $29.74   Paid: $8.13
  • Publix   Bill: $35.00   Paid: $11.00
It does take about one extra hour a week to prepare for my shopping trip, but it is WORTH IT!   I am using lists from The Grocery Freak, Southern Saver, and Coupon Mom. Here is an example that I had today at Publix.   I bought Blueberry Special K cereal because it was BOGO (buy one, get one free).   Publix does not force me to purchase two of the items - it is really 50% off.   Instead of $3.99, the product became $1.99.   I had a $1 off coupon.   That made the box of cereal 75% off - $0.99!   You CAN do this!   Maximize your money! Our team (specifically - The Saving Freak) has developed a workshop called the Saving Freak Workshop that we are taking throughout the nation over the next year.   It shows people how to save money on nearly everything they buy.   If you are interested in having this class at your business, community center, chamber of commerce, or church - CONTACT our team HERE.   There are several spots still available in the next month and a half! FYI - We are hosting our own event in Mooresville, NC on 11/23/2009 at 6:30PM. Read recent posts

Savings Workshop – Greenville, SC – THURSDAY

Just two days left until the savings workshop takes place in Greenville.     There are still a few slots left for anyone who wants to use the coupon code HALF and register for only $5 instead of $10.   It is going to be a great time where you can learn the methods I use all the time to save money on just about anything I buy.   The Saving Freak/Grocery Freak will be leading this money saving class! Here is what I know.   If you apply the tools taught in the Savings Workshop, you will save more than $1,000/year!   You will learn how to save money on groceries, dining out, travel, cell phone service, on-line shopping, shopping at department stores, insurance, and many more items.   It will definitely help you save on your Christmas shopping that you haven't started yet.   To sign up just go to the registration page and make sure to use the code HALF to get half off the regular price.

Charity Golf Tournament

I have never done this before, but I wanted to let you know about a charity golf tournament that the IWBNIN team will be participating in on Monday, November 2.  This tournament is being hosted at Jennings Mill Country Club (in Bogart, GA - just east of Atlanta) and is being held to benefit Bethel Haven Child And Youth Services.  Bethel Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing help, hope, and healing to emotionally distressed children, young people and their families.

Now, I am a terrible golfer.  I have golfed (hacked) about two times per year for the past four years, and I am terrible, but I am willing to make myself look like a fool to help these children.

Would you consider contributing a few dollars to sponsor my efforts?  All donations are tax deductible and can be given securely on-line HERE.  Bethel Haven thanks you, and I am grateful for your consideration.

PS:  I will be sharing pictures on the blog on November 3.  Rumor has it that The Saving Freak (savingfreak.com) and Mark Asbell will be joining me.  As I understand it, they are even worse than me.  I hope we do not get kicked out!
