They have also tried to conceive a child, but Connie suffered a miscarriage and they are paying off debts, from fertility treatments
Jojo is Connie’s best friends , who lives with her mother
She is also obsessed with collecting coupons, She has been unable to secure proper employment since she had her identity stolen so she makes YouTube videos, About the coupons that she saved to try and generate revenue
The local mailman named Earl, has an obvious crush on JoJo
Every day the friends gather to collect and cut coupons and save them
Connie goes shopping, and the bill is 138 dollars, the cashier doesn’t like her because he knows her, and she comes many times and uses coupons
she pays through the coupons that she collected and each one deducts 1 or two dollars, until the price became only 16 dollars
and she says to him, watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves
she remembers that she didn’t have a baby so she grieves for a while, and eats some Wheaties, but she discovers that they expired
Connie writes a complaint letter to General Mills about the Wheaties she ate being stale
writes that she is disappointed in this company, and that it is not suitable as breakfast for an Olympic champion
Jojo does makeup for a client and tries to sell her some products
the woman liked her way of presenting the product and Jojo asked her to pay by cash
because she has a case of her identity stolen So the woman wasn’t reassured and said she will call her later
She comes out harass and angry
Rick is traveling for his work
before going, he scolds Connie for spending all the money, that they have on her pregnancy treatment tells her to find a job
soon she receives an apology from the company And a coupon for a free box, She goes to the market with full confidence and is very happy to take the box for free
tells the cashier her famous sentence, watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves
He says to her, Don’t think that you are important, that the company give you a free product because anyone who complains to the manufacturer, the company sends this coupon
She then learns that companies do this all the time, so she writes multiple complaint letters, to receive multiple free coupons
On the next day
Her friend visited her, and showed her all the free coupons she had
Jojo is surprise and asked her how, so she tells her everything
she asked her about having a free $40 family coupon
Connie offered to buy it for only 20$,So her friend agreed And said that right now she earned 20$ from nothing
she suggested that they could gain more if they sold these coupons to people with only half the price
They just need to have a lot of free coupons
The ladies then know that the coupons come from a factory in Mexico, and they hatch a plan to head down there to collect the coupons to redistribute to other moms and wives
In Nevada, Ken Miller works as an agent to prevent losses for certain stores and companies
He chides a woman at a store for attempting to use a fake coupon, for a discount even though the cashier is willing to let it slide
Ken travels back to his home in Salt Lake City, where he is just lonely
Connie and JoJo make their travel to Mexico
they saw a man named Alejandro and his wife
They think he is the right person to help them, he notice that someone is watching them
So his wife went and he pretend to tie his shoes and surprise them with a gun with him
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
he tells her, instead of destroying it, he will ship it across the border
so no one will care about the coupons because they only care about drugs
Once they get their hands on them
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
Keep posting coupons, the site keeps growing And the guy send more coupons
Connie hid some money In the room which she made for her Baby
The ladies’ account is frozen due to suspicious activity so Connie finds out they need to prove they are a legitimate business and they must turn to the hacker, her name is Tina
They get in touch with her and are taken to her secret location
where she instructs Connie and JoJo on how to keep their operation lowkey, and how to keep their money secure
including by using JoJo’s cosmetics brand, Back 2 Black as a front for their coupon business
She ordered them to make fake bank accounts, Until the money will distribute to them
And they should rent a store to sell from, not the house
Cuz Connie’s husband travels a lot, so Connie was selling through her home
Tina deleted all of her friend’s videos from YouTube, so that no one would track them
Finally, she will take 10 percent of the profits
And no one spends the money for 6 months until the money is clean
Ken annoys his superiors, until he makes it an official case that he can take on
They didn’t care about him
tells him we will see, And they send the case file to the laziest employee
After six months, Connie and JoJo figure their money is safe to use but because it’s dirty money, they need to spend it and clean it
They made a plan, to withdraw all the money
Jojo does makeup for Connie and wears sexy clothes she goes to all banks, and withdraws the money without any problem at all
They start buying things like sports cars, boats and planes
The lazy man is talking to Ken after six months, and says he couldn’t reach anything
Ken is angry and says that they sell it by post, and how we can’t catch them
Meanwhile, Ken is partnered with a rep from the post office named Simon
He asked him about the fake coupons he has
Connie offered to her friend, Buying weapons because they still have a lot of money
And when the man start talking, she says they want everything, It is already done and they celebrate on their plane
At the same time, ken and the officers found, an envelope from they sent the coupons, to track them
JoJo later takes Connie to the fertility clinic, where she decides to give it another shot at getting pregnant Instead of using Rick’s sample, she uses an anonymous donor instead
Tina then contacts Connie and JoJo for their overspending
tells them that their money was always clean that’s why they spent 6 months keeping the money hidden
now, their purchases, are just making them look more suspicious
Tina tells them to take money out from the bank in small increments, and to get rid of all their big purchases
Connie’s husband comes home and found that everything is completely change And Ask her how
She tells him, that had a job and this from only the first salary
But He shows no interest
Ken and Simon on their mission, with Simon sympathizing with him for how much devotion he puts to the job
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
When they interview a group of postal workers, they remember JoJo, because Earl is always watching her videos
Earl trying to warn her but he didn’t find her at home and left her a message with her mother
while Ken and Simon try and stake out by her house
the ladies make a deal to sell off their guns to a militia The gang underestimate them, but they sell it
On returning home, Jojo doesn’t notice the messages, and go to Connie’s store
After gathering more evidence on the women
Ken and Simon are able to get agents to go and arrest Connie and JoJo
luckily, they didn’t find the money, that Connie was hiding
Earl sees in the news, that his girlfriend has been arrested
The officer is conducting an investigation with JoJo
She says why am I here and sees her some videos of her
while Investigate with Connie, The officer tells her that every 100,000 dollars companies lost, she will be imprisoned for a year
it means she will take 40 years in prison
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
