Purchasing my Couponizer was one of the best investments I have ever made. I have kept track of all the money I have saved with my CoupTracker, and I was overwhelmed to see how much money I have been able to save each month. One month, I was able to save almost $40 by using my coupons.

The Couponizer also helps me to keep very organized. My shopping list in my Couponizer helps me to keep track of everything I need to purchase and what coupons I can use on my purchases. It has been such a relief going shopping and knowing that I am saving money on almost every shopping trip. My Couponizer is also easy to carry around in my purse. I take it with me everywhere I go. You never know when you'll need a coupon. I highly recommend the Couponizer to anyone who would like to keep better organized and save more of their money.

Thanks Amy for inventing such a brilliant product!

"I have 3 kids and when I saw The Couponizer while at the Kansas City Gift Mart, I knew it was a tool that could get me organized and if I can get organized, anyone can get organized!  I am looking forward to showing our customers in the store how to use it for themselves or they might be inspired to give it as a gift.  It the perfect item for new Moms, a shower gift for a bride or a graduate going off to college!"

On my first trip to the grocery store, I saved $61.38. Several people in the store asked me about the Couponizer because they saw me using it. The checkout lady said "this is the biggest savings I have seen in a very long time." THANKS for a great product!

Thank you so much for this tool! It has been wonderful for me. I love to be organized and the Couponizer has allowed me to keep track of my savings AND manage my many coupons! The Couponizer is the perfect grocery shopping companion - no more dropping my coupons on the floor or leaving them on a store shelf- they stay with me all the way to checkout! My one time best savings was $38!

I was introduced to the Couponizer in fall 2003. I was attending a parents' meeting and one of the moms arrived with this funny little clear bag stuffed with papers. She had brought it to show our hostess and mutual friend. She raved about this "Couponizer" and how it had become her lifesaver in her quest to organize her coupons. I had always wanted to be a thrifty shopper, but never could find a way to organize my coupons in such a way as to really USE them. My new friend wrote down the name for me, and I came home and checked out the website. I was intrigued by this simple yet effective system for saving money, so I ordered a Couponizer for myself.

From the first Sunday when I clipped and sorted the coupons from the newspaper and filed them away in my book, I knew I would really USE this handy little item! I was THRILLED after my first big shopping trip - by using my list and the easy Couponizer plan, I saved almost $50! Since then my savings have varied, but even without making my list, I always find at least a few coupons in my Couponizer to help cut costs! It has become indispensable. Being a busy mom, I keep my kit in the car all week, so that I have access to my coupons for the various stores and fast food places I pass every day. I have recommended it to many of my friends and have purchased several as gifts. I even have my oldest daughter, a senior in college, 'couponizing'!

Thanks to you, Amy for your ingenuity and thanks to my friend Kelly for sharing the Couponizer with me!

Julie (left) writes - The Couponizer is such a wonderful product. I was amazed at how easy the Couponizer is to use. Not only is it easy to sort the coupons, but keeping them categorized is easy. On one of my first shopping trips to the grocery store after getting the Couponizer stocked, I saved nearly $70 in coupons alone - and that did not count the store discounts. I was so happy and excited. With a family of five, and the ever-increasing food prices, I carry the Couponizer in my car so I will always have it with me.

My friends and I share coupons at work, too. Last month I lost my Couponizer and I was totally heartsick. I left my name and number at the store where I lost it and kept checking back at the store to see if anyone at turned it in. I never found it. I ordered another Couponizer and within a week I received it. I immediately reloaded it with coupons and I have already saved more in coupons that what I paid for it. This is such a great product and so easy to use!

Kim (right) writes - I first found out about the Couponizer through my friend and co-worker, Julie Julian, who received one as a gift from her sister. I was very impressed by the ease of organizing and using the coupons with this system. Julie and I told several of our co-workers about it and we ended up ordering 5 Couponizers. I started using mine immediately and on my first trip to the grocery store I saved $15.00.

Over the last several months, my Couponizer has paid for itself many times over. It doesn't take much time to sift through my coupons prior to my grocery shopping trip and I always find something I can use. I am going to buy one for my mom for Mother's Day because she really liked mine when she saw it. She also used my daughter's Intuition razor when she was visiting and liked it so I am going to buy her one to go with her Couponizer.

As I was clipping coupons this weekend, I found a coupon for a free Intuition razor. How cool is that? If it weren't for my Couponizer I wouldn't have been clipping coupons and would not have found this coupon that is going to save me about $7!

The Professional Organizer

I have spent many years looking for just the right things - the perfect purse, beautiful shoes that are comfortable too, and a way to organize my coupons that is easy and has room for all the categories I need. My search is over! I found The Couponizer! Now I have a simple way to store and use my coupons. My favorite part is the slot for coupons being used on that shopping trip (as I was always forgetting to use the ones jammed into my pockets.

As a professional organizer, I was so pleased with its organizational value that I recommend it to all of my clients and have even become a reseller.

I also use it as a teaching tool for my 6-year old daughter. She does the clipping and sorting, teaching her basic organizing skills and the value of saving money at the same time. Thanks for coming up with such a terrific product.

I am a huge fan of the Couponizer - I have used it on every shopping trip for the past 4 months. I found out about The Couponizer on www.cutouthunger.org. This website lists weekly sale items for grocery stores and for each item it also lists where you can find a coupon for that item in the Sunday coupon circulars. Then on every shopping trip I print the store's list from cutouthunger.org.

By purchasing the weekly specials, using coupons, and using The Couponizer as my tool to keep it all organized, you can see below what I have saved on some of my shopping trips:
· 6/7 - Kroger - Spent $188.50 - got an additional $133.41 in free groceries
· 5/28 - Kroger - Spent $180.70 - got an additional $99.53 in free groceries
· 4/30 - Publix - Spent $193.12 - got an additional $97.07 in free groceries
· 3/13 - Publix - Spent $144.51 - got an additional $84.12 in free groceries

I used to spend $150.00 a week - and my groceries would run out by the 5th day (2 growing boys at home!). Now - I can spend less than $200.00 every 2 weeks - have a freezer and cabinet full of groceries for future use - and have also been able to donate many items to charity. Thanks to Amy Bergin for creating the Couponizer. I won't go on a shopping trip without it!

As a mother of five, I am always looking for ways to save money; especially on groceries! I found out about The Couponizer and finally decided to purchase one. My results have been amazing. I have saved between $11-$20 per week using coupons, but even better than that is the fact that I actually prepare a shopping list before going to the store, so my weekly savings have been closer to $40 per week!

I have been so excited about my experience with The Couponizer that I have shared the product with many different people in my life. My youngest child is adopted from Guatemala. As an Adoption Consultant for Children of the World, Inc., I have been involved with several on-line support groups for families adopting from Guatemala. One question that is frequently asked is "How Can I Pay for My Adoption?" I often suggest to people that clipping coupons is a great start. I recommend to everyone purchasing a tool like The Couponizer so that they can really make the most of their savings. While you may not be able to finance an entire adoption from your coupon savings, getting a better handle on your finances is essential if you are going to be able to plan for the expense of an adoption.

I recently sent Couponizers to each of my sisters and my mother, who all live in Kentucky. We are going to have a family contest during the month of August to see who saves the most money using our Couponizer. I have every intention of winning this contest, and continuing my savings for many years to come!

I became a Couponizer user in April, 2004. I was so excited about the product that I immediately joined the Couponizer staff as an Affiliate. "The Couponizer is a great money saving tool for her family and I love sharing my money saving tips with others. I am married and have a 16 year old son, Jonathan, who also helps with the savings efforts.

I believe that getting your children involved with the Couponizer helps make them more conscientious about the value of a dollar." I am so thrilled with the product that when Amy mentioned she was looking for marketing help, I began working on her team as a Marketing Director. I am committed to the success of the Couponizer Company and its consumers. I personally have saved more than $500 since April by using the Couponizer.

I'm a cashier at Publix Supermarket in Stockbridge and I always "tried" to use coupons when doing my own shopping. It usually wasn't with much success because I had a hard time organizing them. The little coupon holders from the store never had enough categories and it was difficult to keep up with.

Recently, a customer came through my line with her Couponizer. I was intrigued from the moment I saw it. We spoke for a few minutes; she told me how well it kept everything organized. She told me the website and I used HER receipt to write it down! I immediately came home and ordered it for myself. When it arrived, I put all my coupons in it and it even had a place for fast food and shopping!! On my first grocery trip I saved 52.00!!! I was shocked and so happy! I am telling everyone about "The Couponizer"!!! Thanks so much for organizing me...and Thanks to that one customer!

The Couponizer® is the best conversation piece I have ever owned. I have showed it to so many people (many passing by in the grocery store!). The use of coupons has proven addictive as many family and friends have been amazed at how much I save and started saving for themselves. I can tell it has quite an effect when my sister attending college sends me an email excitedly telling me how much she and her roommates saved at the store using coupons.

Thank you for this wonderful product that keeps me organized and below budget!

I just wanted to write to you after using my Couponizer®. I can't say enough about how easy it is to use and stay organized! There's so much storage for coupons. I like having my weekly coupons available to me and having the monthly coupons that will expire in one spot. I love taking it to the grocery store with me. Now I don't have to rummage through my coupons at the check out lane or try to keep track of them while I'm shopping. The Couponizer® just makes everything so much simpler and helps me run things much more smoothly. I also have to say that my young daughter has decided that helping me out on Sundays with the coup-stacker is a fun way to learn about coupons and then enjoys putting them in the right pockets. What a good way to spend time with her and teach her about saving money too!

On my first trip to the grocery store I was getting my feet wet and saved about 25% on my grocery bill. But the second trip I saved $100.00 on entire bill and used $55.00 in coupons (not counting double coupons) and grocery card savings.

People are beginning to talk about the Couponizer® in the forums at the "Grocery Game.com" which I subscribe to, and I know that word has been out for a long time at "Cut out Hunger.org" which I also utilize. The Couponizer® is a great tool and I just had to let you know how it's helped me out. I proudly keep mine in my car to show my coupon cutting friends so that they might take interest in it too.

Thanks for the great product!

Yes I did receive my Couponizer and I have to say that so far I love it! I was never very successful, before now, trying to clip and save coupons. And I certainly never kept track of my savings. I really like that part of the process.

I just started using it about a week ago and I already saved $8.00 on my last shopping trip. I think what I like most about it, is that I feel responsible. It’s not like it is a difficult concept, but there’s just something about having it in my purse, available at any time, with an easy to use record keeping solution, that makes me want to work harder to see how much I can save every time.

This is going to sound crazy, but after I started using it, I was inspired enough to go and purchase a ledger to keep track of my utility bills on a month by month basis to see how much we are spending as a household. Honestly, I have no idea where this desire to do that came from. It sounds ridiculous but I’m sure it had something to do with the feeling I had after using the Couponizer. My financial life is at best “scattered” most of the time and I just run the rat race of keeping up with one thing at a time. I guess what I’m saying is that this little system, which seems so ‘common sense’ made me feel like I had some control over my money.

So there you have it. I feel almost embarrassed that I like having it so much. Why is that? I don’t know. Thank you again for the Couponizer.

I found "The Couponizer" at the Home Show in the Cobb Galleria. It has truly been a lifesaver. I had the hardest time keeping up with coupons, and I was never able to keep my coupons sorted correctly in other coupon organizers. I have also saved a ton of money on my grocery bill by surfing the links that are on your website. Thanks!!!

I bought mine at the Atlanta Home Show in the Cobb Galleria Center, Atlanta, Georgia, a few months ago. I want to order 2 more to give as Christmas gifts. I love mine and it has saved me a lot more time and money then my old methods. Thanks.

I received my Couponizer yesterday, and I am thrilled. My husband was curious as to what I was up to last night, and when I showed him, he sat down to help me! (Men LOVE saving money, too) When I cleaned out my coupon drawer in my desk, I was disappointed to find coupons for stuff I've bought as recently as last week, hidden away. Again, thank you for cleaning out my coup drawer, and making them USEABLE! You ROCK!!!!! Just wait until my friends see. I'll keep you updated on my progress...

I just purchased another Couponizer due to having misplaced/lost the one I bought from Amy 3 months ago. I am lost without it and had to buy another one. I had just about stopped using coupons because they weren't worth the time involved - The Couponizer makes it easy to organize coupons, discounts, advertisements, etc. and keep them together with my grocery list and my shopping "to do" list. The money I have saved has more than paid the purchase price."
