Our Mission
Using Coupons: Encouraging Hope

I'm Kimberly McCormick, founder of this amazing journey!  I'm married to Mark, and we have three beautiful children.  I'm a weekly columnist with The Pantagraph, and I'm PTO president of our children's school for 2010-2011. 

I've used coupons for almost 17 years.  When I began college, the costs were outrageous (and don't I wish those were the prices today!), and I was looking for any way to cut costs!  Using coupons has changed dramatically over the years, and I've learned an incredible amount of information that helps my family and I stretch our budget in a very unique way!

I've also spent my life being very community oriented, volunteering when I can, donating when it's possible, and doing what I can to assist others.  I had two dreams for my life... one was to be a mommy, and the other was to be the founder of a non profit organization.  I have been blessed with three beautiful children, and I have founded two non profits, in two different states.

In order to combine my love of a great deal with social outreach, Retire With Coupons, Inc. was formed!


Workshops: Retire With Coupons offers educational workshops on the use of coupons, and how to stretch budgets within an individual and/or family's means!  It covers the basics of coupon use, including where to find coupons, organizational information, finding current sales, store promotions, local store policies and legalities, question & answer session, and specific, detailed explanations of some of our best deals!  This class is best for individuals who are new to couponing who shop within our local areas of Bloomington-Normal, Pekin, Eureka and/or Peoria, Illinois, as we include important information that is specific to these locations.

Aside from our scheduled monthly workshops, Retire With Coupons also provides workshops on-site to agencies, organizations, libraries, educational facilities, and other companies who are interested in sharing this financial vision with their patrons, clients and employees.  Please contact Kimberly for more information.

Utilizing Coupons: We're able to donate needed items
within our community, encouraging hope among those
who may need it most! 

As an example, I purchased 116 boxes of cereal, and five boxes of fruit snacks for only $10.25 and donated it to Clare House!  On another occasion, my family and I donated 72 boxes of cereal, and 24 boxes of granola bars, and paid less than $12 for all of it! 

Shopping Crew: Lastly, Retire With Coupons offers a "shopping crew" monthly subscription targeting our Bloomington-Normal and Mclean County, Illinois area.  Each subscription includes Weekly Shopping Lists, Trusted Coupon Sources, Monthly Coupon Swaps, Unlimited E-mail Support, and Access to our new list-serv!  Click here for more information and to subscribe to our shopping crew!

Retire With Coupons, Inc. wants to give back in the truest form by going full circle!  We provide educational workshops which provides essential information to families on budgeting in a unique way.  We offer our monthly subscription service to help families duplicate good deals allowing them to keep more cash in their pocket for other items they may need, but couldn't previously afford!  Individuals and businesses have stepped up to offer scholarship funds for individuals to take our workshops and subscribe to our monthly shopping crew that may not be able to afford it otherwise, and Retire With Coupons then donate a percentage of these fees directly back into our local food pantries! Amazing, isn't it? 

Support Our Mission: We have many advertising opportunities available, so you benefit from good-will publicity, as well as just feeling good about giving back! Please email Kimberly for more information!

Share Our Mission:  We utilize social media to share our mission.  Please join us on twitter and facebook, and share our mission with your friends, co-workers, and loved ones!  Thank you.
