SALEM
Family circumstances led Rachel Krych into the world of couponing.
“I live, breathe and dream coupons,” she told a group of about 25 who attended a “Couponing with Rachel,” program recently at Salem Public Library, 821 E. State. St.
Married at 20, she and her husband spent the next eight years as a carefree couple with two incomes. Then their family expanded with the births of three sons in four years – all 10 and younger. She became a stay-at-home mom and realized couponing would help the family budget.
“I love to save money, and love helping other people save, too,” she said. Though the family income had changed, Krych said she saw how couponing would help the family of five “take vacations, go to the movies and do other fun things.”
Krych became so immersed in couponing that she created a website and Facebook page devoted to using coupons and deals offered by stores. The Elyria resident also writes a couponing column for The Chronicle-Telegram in Lorain County.
