Welcome to Rose Knows Coupons! 

We are very, very happy to have you! Wondering who Rose Knows Coupons is?! We are actually a team of 4!  Let me introduce us all....

The Rose in Rose Knows Coupons...

I'm Rosemarie Lemke (Rose for short of course!) and blog to you from the picturesque state of Wisconsin! I'm married to my biggest fan and we have two kids! My daughter is 14 (help....!) and my son is 7!

I started Rose Knows Coupons in 2010 after I realized how beneficial it was to share my shopping tips and strategies with family and friends! A year after my son was born, we moved about 40 minutes away from the big city into a smaller town that only offered a few stores to shop at. Being a stay-at-home mom, I wanted to contribute to the family finances, however, working during the day just wasn't an option. Once I discovered couponing, my husband and I realized that I may not be contributing with a paycheck, but I was certainly saving almost as much as that just by coupon shopping!  

I didn't have the liberty of driving only a few minutes to have my pick of stores so shopping became a process for me. I learned to plan my trips, organize my coupons, and pay close attention to the sale ads. I understand how coupon shopping can be a tad bit time consuming, and since it's become second nature to me, I'll do the work for you! 

Behind the scenes..

My husband Jon and his best friend Shawn both had schooling and experience with graphic communications and programming so we were able to create Rose Knows Coupons from the ground up without using any existing blogging platform! Everything you see, and mostly every operation on Rose Knows Coupons is thanks to these incredibly intelligent men! I'm so grateful that my "IT help desk" is just a phone call...or should I say just a "friend" away!  (A million thanks to you Shawn!)

Shawn, Jon, Rose

How on earth do you post so much all day long....?!

I like to spend my free time running on the treadmill, reading my beloved contemporary romance or Amish fiction, or watching my daughter play sports. I'm also a Cub Scout co-leader with my husband for my son's Cub Scout Den!

Because blogging can take up an incredible amount of time every day, and I strive for balance in my life, I have recently added a new member to the team! My sister-in-law Jenny has joined Rose Knows Coupons and is helping me out by posting additional deals, freebies, samples & more when I am not available! Now that there are two of us posting, we will be able to offer you twice as much! 

Rose, Jenny
