Katie Broome

Hi there! I'm a content writer and editor focused on helping people shop smarter — and do more with their money.

Who is Katie Broome?

Katie Broome is a curious-by-nature editor and writer who pivoted from a decade-long career in travel writing at AAA, Inc., to dive into the world of smart shopping as the Store Editor at The Krazy Coupon Lady (KCL), a female-founder-owned company.

As the Store Editor at KCL, Katie reports on savings strategies and store policy changes at major retailers and grocery stores including Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Aldi, and Dollar General. Her work supports the KCL mission of helping shoppers beat MSRP.

Secret weapon: Listening in on retailers’ earnings calls to get the scoop on price changes and the impact of inflation.

She has over 15 years of experience editing additional topics such as personal finance, consumer safety, and retirement planning.
