Quickly being recognized as a money saving expert in her local community, Jillian founded The Savings Pro in early 2013 as a resource for American families to stretch their budgets no matter how big or small. More and more readers are now using The Savings Pro and many of the materials here as a resource to save on everything from groceries to family vacations and everything in between!
Jillian speaks to groups large and small on various money saving topics, the most popular topic being couponing. She has many resources available to those who are unable to take her classes (which you can find here), and she is working on creating a YouTube channel to make money-saving videos available to everyone. Her goal is to help people with time and money management, and help them realize that living frugally doesn't mean living cheap!

A few social media posts about her own savings confirmed what Jillian had been contemplating for a long time. It was time to share the blessing of her new-found lifestyle with others who could benefit from the tremendous savings. The conversations she would start with family and friends would end up in hour-long discussions full of questions and teachings, people in the grocery store would stop her and ask how she was able to do what she does, and Facebook posts quickly became the online grounds for tons of questions & envious comments. Even her boyfriend's friends started making comments to her like, "I wish you would teach my wife that", or "Wow. My girlfriend would love to pick your brain!".
After seeing how people reacted to her own savings, and how many people were uncertain how to save for themselves, The Savings Pro was launched within a few weeks. To Jillian's surprise, what she thought would be a quiet little venture with friends and family is starting to grow and grow. Jillian is excited to see how many more are able to join her journey with her and start saving as well. Her hope for you is that this website will be a blessing to you and your family. She hopes that the bargains and tips you find here will not only impact your finances, but also bring just a little joy and excitement along with! Whether you are an experienced couponer or someone who just likes to get in on a good deal every once and a while, welcome!
