VGCC hosts Smart Spending workshop

Vance-Granville Community College will offer a workshop that aims to help area shoppers save money every time they buy groceries. The “Smart Spending: Cut Your Grocery Bills” workshop is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 11 from 6:30 until 9 p.m. on the college’s main campus in Vance County.

The workshop is led by Faye Prosser, WRAL-TV’s “ Smart Shopper ” and author of The Smart Spending Guide. Prosser will help participants discover how to buy free food, bath and body products every week; how to effectively use coupons for items they already buy; how to use weekly sales ads in conjunction with coupons; how to understand store coupon and sale policies for area stores; how to use drug store rebates for fabulous deals; how to develop an easy-to-follow weekly family meal plan; and how to master many other techniques that will help save significant amounts of money.

“This workshop will change the way you shop and teach you to save more than you ever thought possible,” Prosser said. “Imagine what you could do with all that extra money!”

Prosser’s Smart Spending System has been featured on numerous television stations, web sites, in newspapers and in Good Housekeeping magazine. The Smart Spending Guide, Workshop DVD and Organizer Inserts will be available at the class at a discount.

The cost of the course is $15. Pre-registration is required. For more information and to register, call Donna Dodson at (252) 738-3316.
