Until the two ladies explained to him that they are here for business

 

they want his help them by taking the unused coupons he agrees, and tells how the factory works for coupons

 

that there are a lot of wasted coupons, are thrown and destroyed

the ladies begin their own website and small business, Savvy Super Saver

 

Jojo is promoting the coupons on YouTube

 

which helps them, sell a lot of coupons and generate profit

They go around interviewing people from grocery stores, where the ladies have shopped

 

almost all of them recognize Connie, because they find her constant use of coupons to be irritating

 

They are even able to place her behind the super saver website because their slogan is the same phrase that Connie uses when she shops, watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves

The two are placed in jail, Shocked by the information they know

 

but while JoJo is let out on bail, Because Earl paid it for her

Connie is only visited by Rick so he can admonish her for what she has done, and didn’t want to pay her bail

 

Having had enough of his lack of support, she declares that she wants a divorce

 

The ladies are then put on trial, where JoJo is given ten days in prison plus a year of probation

 

while Connie is sentenced to eleven months, Because she said that Jojo didn’t know anything

 

she was the one who made jojo work for her, Ken thinks, that they were let off too easy

 

but the companies that the ladies ripped off, just wanted the case swept under the rug to avoid bad publicity

 

JoJo begins a relationship with Earl

 

They took the money they hid, relocates to Montenegro Because there is no extradition accused to the USA so they can keep using the makeup business front, and continue the coupon business there to avoid the law, Connie stocks up on goods in prison and has gotten pregnant
