Extreme Couponing: Amateur Style!

Sunday, May 1, 2011


I have to admit, after watching the TLC show, "Extreme Couponing," I thought the whole idea was a little crazy. BUT, it did inspire me to look more into what I could be saving using coupons. There are A LOT of blogs/websites on couponing, so I have been reading up on what strategies to use to maximize my savings. Now, at this point my goal is just to save a little more. So, yesterday I printed some online coupons from Target for only the items that I needed. And, guess what? I saved $10! It might seem small but considering I wasn't even trying that hard, I thought it was pretty good. Success!

I saved $!
And, now I have a couple extra coupons to use next time! I usually lose these, but now I know better. :)

  2. My mom and sister do "super" (not extreme) couponing. They save so much money especially on the types of items you bought-toiletries, hygeine items, shampoo conditioner-which huge! That stuff can cost so much! Nice job! (I've tried couponing but ended up spending more than I was going to and bought things I usually don't get : ( ....I def. need some training haha)
