DALLAS — At a recent Meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Dallas, members listened to a presentation on the topic,”Extreme Couponing” by Katelyn Vols.
Two years ago, at age 15, Vols became involved in this hobby while going through rehabilitation, following surgery. As a graduate of Holy Redeemer High School, she was active in school clubs.
She devotes three to five hours per week on researching and clipping coupons. Last year, she saved $10,000 with the coupons and donated multiple products to various local non-profit organizations. Her slogan is “Free is for me.”
During her presentation, Vols distributed for Kiwanis members to view some photographs of her acquired products and receipts, indicating her multiple savings. One receipt she shared was for items purchased, valued at $390 before coupons. After coupons were applied, the amount she paid was $1.49.
In the fall of 2019, Katelyn will attend Misericordia University and pursue a DPT (Doctoral Physical Therapy) and a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Management. The Misericordia University staff has asked her to coordinate a Couponing Club at the University.
