Interested in learning how to save money at the grocery store? Or do you feel like you need a refresher course in couponing?

I'll be teaching a coupon class on Saturday, Jan. 28, covering basic and advanced coupon techniques that will teach you to save at least 50 percent, if not more, on your grocery bill.

The cost of the class is $15, which you should easily recoup in your first trip to the grocery store.

We've also also got some nice freebies lined up for you to take home with you.

I always like to say I'm frugal, not cheap.

I absolutely don't mind spending on things that are worthwhile. Items that are long-lasting, high-quality, much-needed or long-desired.

But things that are tossed in the trash almost immediately after buying or using -- not so much.

Things like wrapping paper.

I used to wrap on the cheap by purchasing my giftwrap at 90 percent off clearance after the holidays. That saved me plenty of money, for sure.

But what I really wanted was giftwrap that was easy on the wallet AND easy on the environment.

I thought I'd share a few ideas I've come up with -- in hopes of saving you a few dollars and the planet a few trees.
