FAQ

How does the e-courses differ from the other Savings Soiree classes?

Savings Soiree classes are interactive and therefore change depending on the audience. In person, you have an opportunity to ask questions and get the answers you need to help you cut your grocery budget dramatically. Plus, I provide slides, examples, visuals, and hands-on learning opportunities to reach each learning style.

Though the e-courses are similar, there are a few variations. Each goes into depth in different areas and touches upon different information.
