On the news, radio, and internet is where you can find the Consumer Queen. She is out to help you! We met almost 2 years ago when I joined her website. I was new at saving money and using coupons, and by her website I learned the correct way to save money and bless my family, friends, and charity's.
Melissa on the other hand has a husband with a degenerative diesease that effects his immune system, muscles and bones, and has had several surgery's. Through it all Melissa has stayed by his side, stood strong with her beliefs, continued helping others by offering a free website, which she could easily charge and make extra money for medical bills that continue to pile up day by day.
As you can see this is an extraordinary women, she is a mom, a wife, a friend, and a true blessing to her communtiy. She would be honored to be chosen as the winner of "Who is there for you?" as she is truely there for everyone that crosses her path.

I just wanted to let you know, I enjoy your magazine. I buy them monthly, and sometimes I buy multiple magazines at Walmart, if there is a hot coupon in the magazine. I learned about your magazine from http://www.consumerqueen.com, this website teaches responsible coupon usage and teaches how couponing can become a ministry to your community by sharing with others what you can get from couponing. Whether it is donating to an organization or by helping out a friend in need. Check it out, you will be impressed. The site is not cluttered with advertisements, etc... and is a clean family friendly website! Thanks.

Sent to all you.

My entries look like the "About Us" on the main page since I wrote that! I did not plagerize!!

Who is there for you entry....

The ConsumerQueen does it Again

Melissa Garcia aka the Consumer Queen started a ministry online through her website http://www.consumerqueen.com in 1996.. The original purpose of the website was to help other families save money. ConsumerQueen.com has grown extensively over the past 12 years with over 8,000 members across the United States. While members get great deals and awesome savings on things that their families use everyday, many members "pay it forward" by donating some of the name brand items that they receive for free or at a very low cost to local churches and shelters.
ConsumerQueen.com has been and always will be a free site for all whom wish to register. Deals are broken down by store and explained so people new to couponing and those who have years of experience can all understand every deal. Every member is encouraged to post deals and to brag about their shopping adventures.
Not only does ConsumerQueen.com provide families a place to post deals and find deals that help their families save money it has actually became a "family" online. When I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd (and unexpected) son, Melissa and other consumerqueen.com members held a baby shower for me to help me get the things I need.

This is my entry for All You Magazine:

I'm from the great state of Oklahoma and wanted to let you know how much I really like your magazine. I've had a subscription to All You for about 2 years now and I always look forward to getting the latest issue! I enjoy the articles, and even though I'm, let's say, in my older years, they're relavent to me and enjoyable to read. What I really like are the coupons which helps me save $ at the store. A local coupon expert here was featured on our evening news the other day and talked about your magazine and the coupons you offer. Her website, consumerqueen.com has also helped me save big bucks at the store. This website offers coupon advice and ways to save online as well at the store. Please keep up the good work and those coupons coming!

all you email I sent

I wanted to tell you about the Consumer Queen website. Your magazine always has tons of money saving tips. I heard about the CQ website about 2 years ago when I decided my grocery bill was out of control ($300/week!). I have since been able to save 70% if not more each week. I have been able to do this thanks to everyone explaining to me how to use coupons to their maximum value. Why not do a feature in your magazine about coupons and how to save? I bet Melissa and the other groups members would be willing to help?

This is my 2nd entry

I wanted to tell you about the Consumer Queen aka Melissa Garcia. Melissa is the coupon queen an could probably feed an army on $5 for a month. I first heard about the CQ website 2 years ago on my local radion station. I have since been able to save 70% if not more each week on my grocery bill. I have been able to do this thanks to everyone explaining to me how to use coupons to their maximum value. To me this has been a saving grace because the economy has not been very stable recently and if it were not for this knowledge we would have lost our house due to lack of finances. I am able to spend $150/month max on groceries versus $800. It doesn't end with just coupons, we all become great friends and help each other out in so many various ways. If a member is in trouble we all do our best whether it be with info or gifts to help get them out of trouble.


Thanks for fixing the link Karen

I fixed the tiny url and edited the first post. Here it is http://tinyurl.com/6j6y4a

I sent this to AllYOu...

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you about a great website that I am lucky to be part of. It’s http://www.consumerqueen.com. A lady named Melissa started this website a few years ago to help people save money and find great deals online and offline. I’m a subscriber to your AllYou magazine because of her. After being a member of her website, which is free to join, I learned how to save money with coupons and how to make every dollar stretch from the income that we do have. The site has been a huge blessing to me and because I end up with so many items for free or cheap I started giving away a lot of items to families in my neighborhood that I know just can’t afford to buy things on their own.
Melissa has a lot on her plate and still manages to give back with her website. It’s her mission to help families and teach them how to use coupons properly. It would be wonderful if you would mention her in your magazine since your magazine targets so many people that use coupons.
Thank you
Britta Kiesel

and this to whoisthereforyou...
The person i would like to honor here is Melissa Garcia. She has helped me and thousands of other people by creating a website called http://www.consumerqueen.com, which is free to sign up for. Her mission is to help people save money every day by teaching them how to use coupons properly and by letting them use her website to post and find deals thruout the united states. Everyone is very friendly and very helpful and Melissa oversees the board thruout the day even though her husband is disabled due to medical reasons, she works full time, has 2 children and still manages to do so much for everyone and her community. She donates a lot of her "deals" to her church and other organizations in the area. She has been a huge blessing for me and my family. Thank you Melissa!

is that all i have to do to enter the contest?

Thats it! You did great!

allyou magazine

There is a wonderful website based out of Edmond, OK that helps people with couponing, rebates, saving money in general. I have been a member for about 5 years and have learned a lot from Melissa Garcia, the founder. She has gotten so much for free and cheap. She has been on the local news several times and is known as the coupon queen!!!!

I think it would be beneficial to have a story on her and her website to inform others of couponing especially right now when everything is so expensive. I hope you do!!!!
