Many go on to become Super- Couponers. Some go beyond, into extreme couponing. What’s the difference? Many of you may have seen it firsthand when I was featured on the national news program, ABC’s "Nightline." The show gave me and another shopper $50 and sent us to our respective supermarkets. Shopping on television can be a lot of fun! Any time I’m approached about doing a segment like this, I try to follow a few per- sonal guidelines. One of the most common beliefs among new coupon shoppers is that they can- not eat well and save money. So I like to demonstrate deals on pro- duce and meat, areas where many people have difficulty finding sav- ings. I also try to focus on mini- mally processed foods and healthi- er products. And, I aim to prove that even when local supermarkets don’t offer double coupon promo- tions (mine do not) shoppers can still cut grocery bills dramatically. For this national segment, my cart was representative of what many families might buy each week. I purchased 14 pounds of fresh produce and eight filet mignon steaks that cost me just 50 cents each after a fabulous coupon deal. I also included seven boxes of healthy cereals, eight 100-percent juices, organic milk and a case of 80 baby diapers that was a steal at $5.99 – with a coupon, of course! By the end, my $118.84 bill dropped to $50.61 with coupons, and I received $20 back in Catali- nas for a discount on my next shopping trip. Catalinas function just like gift certificates for the store, so essentially, I paid $30.61! It was a beautiful trip. The other shopper in the seg- ment bought more than $500 worth of items for around $30. How did he do it? While I’m a Super- Couponer, he’s an extreme couponer – and there’s certainly a difference. His shopping cart was full of high quan- tities of the same items: 82 packages of tuna, 24 cans of tomatoes, 16 pack- ages of ramen noodles and what the network corre- spondent described as "a lifetime supply of air freshener." Many people wrote to me after this seg- ment aired to ask how such savings were possi- ble. Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen Shopping like this is absolutely possible. As I’ve stressed since the inception of my column, anyone can be a great coupon shopper! The difference between a Super-Couponer and an extreme couponer is the word "extreme." To buy in large quanti- ties, you need many, many multi- ples of the same coupon. Most extreme couponers use a clipping service. They pay a small amount of money (usually 10 cents or 15 cents per coupon) to have coupons cut and mailed to them. For this news segment, the other shopper posted on his website that he had ordered 250 identical 55-cent coupons for tuna. Another differ- ence: his supermarket doubled coupons, making that tuna free with coupon overage to apply to the other groceries he was purchas- ing, an excellent way to bring the entire end total down. Let it be clear that I have noth- ing at all against the other shopper. His home stockpile of products was impressive, to say the least! But my focus as a columnist and coupon workshop instructor has always been to teach couponing from a more moderate perspective. Not every- one wants to pay for individual, clipped coupons or store mas- sive quantities of gro- ceries at home. In my experience, most coupon shoppers want to save money simply and easi- ly, as I do. With my coupons and Catalinas, I enjoyed about 75 per- cent savings on my "Nightline" shopping trip. I’ll hap- pily take that any day of the week.

Prescription meds in the workplace According to a national survey conducted by the Hazelden Foundation, more than 60 percent of adults know people who have gone to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol. How do the side effects of prescription pain medications affect worker productivity and safety? How can employers pro- tect themselves? The Tehama County Employer Advisory Coun- cil will present a seminar 8-11:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 12, on prescription medication in the work- place featuring Richard D. Karem, MD, and attorney Benjamin Kennedy of Carr, Kennedy, Peterson and Frost. The workshop will be at the Tehama County Office of Educa- tion. Karem will discuss pain medications such as Oxy- contin, Norco, Methadone, Percocet, duragesic patch- es and medical marijuana. He has practiced in Red- ding for 25 years, special- izing in neurology and has treated numerous chronic pain patients. Kennedy will present information on employee privacy rights, employee handbook drug policies and possible liabilities for employers when prescrip- tion pain medications are used at the workplace. Kennedy’s practice con- centrates on labor and employment law, includ- ing counseling employers on matters involving workplace discrimination and harassment, ADA compliance, wrongful dis- charge, wage and hour laws and employee hand- books. The Tehama County Employer Advisory Coun- cil is composed of employ- er volunteers representing a cross section of business and industry. The council offers monthly morning workshops on a variety of topics and two seminars each year. Cost for the seminar is $30 for members and $40 for nonmembers in advance and $45 for every- one at the door. Space is limited.
