"BIG SAVINGS" with the "COUPON LADY" is coming to the Laurens County Library!
"Big Savings" Coming to the Laurens County Library! On Thursday, August 5, at 7 PM LaDonna Bumgarner of www.upstatecouponers.webs.com will be at the Laurens County Library to teach people how to save BIG when shopping for groceries/household items. Ms. Bumgarner has proven time and time again, all over the upstate, that you don't have to spend a lot when you go shopping for groceries. In seminars and workshops she teaches shoppers how to use coupons and store specials to save money. Her proven methods of saving and willingness to share her techniques made her a very sought-after speaker. She has even appeared on television on the show, “Your Carolina with Jack and Kimberly" explaining how she saves money each time she shops. "It will be exciting to have her at the Laurens Library, helping families save money in these troubled times", said Joey Holmes, Library Assistant at the Laurens County Library. "We are even planning to set up spare tables for a "coupon swap” that people should find very helpful", Holmes added. This is one program you don’t want to miss!
