We are going to start off by giving you guys some coupon terminology. These are terms you may see on our site or read on other blogs.

• BLINKIES = In Store Smart Source Coupons
• Catalina - coupons printed out after your receipt at the register
• Clearing a Shelf - A term used when an extreme shopper goes in and buys all of a certain item because of a sale.  This is frowned upon!

Welcome!!

Welcome to The Qpon Experience! I started qponing about a year ago and I would get great deals and post them on Facebook and Twitter. People would see them and ask me to host a weekly class to show them how to save money and get great deals qponing! I don't have enough time in my schedule to host an in person meeting, and some of the people who want to learn and save money live out of town so I decided to start a blog so I can share deals locally as well as with those who live in other parts of the country! I decided to team up with a good friend who loves qponing just as much as me and who is always spreading great deals to friends and family! So again we say WELCOME!! Please invite any friends or anyone you know to share with you in The Qponing Experience! Be on the lookout for the next post which will be some basics on how to get started!!
