**WOO HOO**

WARNING: You are about to read a "BOOK"

This is a very humble moment for Holly and I, and we want to share it with ALL of YOU ! It is because of you, that are able to share this news..I know that by now, you know what the " WOO HOO" with the " HAPPY DANCE " symbolizes..

That's right..we have HIT another milestone MUCH SOONER than we anticipated. As of 9/10/10 at 12:56 a.m., we have had EXACTLY 10,165 HITS on our website !! It took us two months to receive 5,000 hits, and now only 18 days since our last " happy dance ", we have had 4,983 hits. Can we say Praise God ?

We were aiming for 7,500 as our next goal ( every 2,500 hits, we would do the " happy dance " ), and we are just overwhelmed with the response that we have received.

What started out as a "blog" for our family and friends (because they were wanting to know about all the deals that we were getting, and how to use coupons), has turned into much more than we ever thought was possible.

We have people ask us all the time, Why do we do this website ? How much time do we spend on the site a week ? Do we make money doing it?

We ENJOY doing what we do. Is it hard work? Yes ! But, it is rewarding at the same time. For many months, Holly and I would sit and pray and ask God to please provide for our family one more day because our families were faced with financial difficulties at the time. I am sure that most of you can relate to that. And, when we found the answer to be a small piece a paper with a bar code on it, we felt the need to pay it forward. We strongly believe in helping others, and giving back to the community. We know that their are people out there who have lost hope and faith, and that is where Savvy Coupon Clippers comes in. We show people that their is still hope and faith, when they don't think it's possible.

Holly and I do spend MANY hours on the site weekly. Now, that the kids are in school ( Holly still has three at home, and one in school ), and with me being a full time college student, our days and hours are cut shorter. We have a schedule with designated days on who will post deals and such for that particular day, and that is how we manage how many hours we do spend. I tend to be the " night owl ", hence the 2 a.m. postings that you see. Holly is the " early bird ".

Holly and I do make a profit when we speak at seminars. When we speak at churches, based on the number of attendees, the church gets a percentage back. This goes directly to them for whatever purpose they see fit. We mail expired coupons over seas, and that can get costly.We buy extra coupons off eBay and use those towards the FREE grocery items for that week, and we donate the items.We get paid for the " All You " magazine that is purchased through our site. Well, we don't actually get a check. The company, which is a fundraising company, takes 40% of the sales that we generate and donates that money to a non-profit organization of our choice. Notice that I said "our" choice, because it is your choice as well. When it comes time to decide who will benefit from the proceeds, we will take a vote on the site and let you all decide.


We make a " small " profit through various affiliate programs that are powered through our website. The money that we make is going towards a new web design( those things are NOT cheap ), so that you all will be able to navigate the site better, and we can offer you more features. There are events where we do get "extra " in our pockets, and we always give Thanks to God for providing us with this opportunity.

Are we getting rich ? No, we are far from it. Would we like to be rich? Now, what kind of question is that? I think we ALL wish we were rich at times. But seriously, Holly and I are rich ! We are rich with God's rewards, that we know comes from him by helping each of you.

We want to remind you that  we are grateful  that you choose to be dedicated to our site, when there are so many other great sites out there to choose from. Stay tuned, changes are coming next month..October !! Holly and I feel like kids waiting on Santa :) We can't wait to show all of you what we have been working on !

Blessings,

Rebekah and Holly
