Going Bigger with Coupons

I don't know if anyone else here watches that show on TLC called Extreme Couponers but I have talked about it before. These women will go into a store and fill four buggies up with $800 dollars worth of merchandise and after they use their coupons at the checkout they only pay a small fraction of the cost. It's amazing really.

Although I don't want to go to the extremes they do i am going bigger on coupons. I am sick and tired of spending half my paychecks on food and items needed for the house.

I am going to start printing coupons off the internet, getting them in the newspaper and using my in-store card for savings.

Thats how those women do it. You have to find a store that doubles coupons, has an in-store savings card plus internet coupons.

I don't need or want to have rooms full of toilet paper like they do but I do want to try my best to save more money. I am tired of working and working and not ever having money!!!

I always cut them out of the paper, and end up forgetting to take them with me, probably wasted a lot of money that way.

I definitely have to start using coupons. I just went to the store to get a can of coffee and it cost $13.99. We use Maxwell House 100% Colombian Blend it when the other kinds of Maxwell House are on sale, this one never is. So a coupon plus finding it cheaper somewhere else would sure be a bonus when it comes to spending less for food etc.

I need some more printer ink but as soon as I get it this coming week, I will be taking advantage of online coupons as well. Happy coupon hunting all.
