The other day I was watching The Singing Bee on CMT (yea, the one with the loud, blond chick from Reba). If you haven’t seen it, it’s a game show where contestants have to know the exact lyrics to songs and sing them loudly and embarrassingly out of tune for all the unemployed bums who watch daytime tv of the world to see. So obviously I love it.
In the beginning of the show, after they pretend to randomly pick people from the audience (that they just so happen to already have a card full of random facts about), they introduce the contestants and discuss their careers, nicknames and “fun facts.” Normally my eyes glaze over at this part, and let’s be real I’m probably hung over or just plain avoiding doing something productive when watching this show anyway, but one lady’s career caught my ear.
“I teach a couponing class,” she says.
From there my thoughts got a little out of control.
How much does a couponing class cost?
More than the amount you save by using coupons perhaps?
Is there a coupon for said couponing class?
Should I check Groupon?
How did this woman score this gig as I stared at my college diploma while serving tables for a year after graduation?
Does one major in couponing at some community colleges now? With a minor in daytime game show auditioning, maybe?
Can you not find all of this information on the internet? This.
And lastly, is it really necessary to enroll in a class to teach you something that Honey Boo Boo’s mom has already mastered?
So this is what happens when I watch tv all day. I hope you’re not a couponing class teacher, but if you are, feel free to answer any and all of the above questions. I’m genuinely interested.

PS: I may or may not have just emailed the casting crew at The Singing Bee…
Let me know when you get those answers! I would hope you'd save more than you'd spend to take the class!

Ha this post made me laugh! Those yellow earrings are too cute!
That's interesting.. I hope that the coupon class has a coupon for a discounted rate!
Wonderful giveaway!
Man, even if I took a couponing class, I'm so scatter brained I probably wouldn't stick with it for more than a week!
