My Thoughts on Extreme Couponing
Did you watch the new episodes of Extreme Couponing??
Well, I did and let me just go ahead and say that in order to coupon, you don’t have/need to go that extreme!!!! I was blown away by the toilet paper under the kids beds and the food items in some of the ladies bedrooms/closets. I mean really, are they going to eat that much before it expires??
If you are new to couponing, please don’t let that show scare you away from couponing!! I’ve been couponing for over 5 years and my stockpile looks nothing like that. Yes, stockpiling is the key to couponing, but you don’t need to stockpile for months or even years, you only need enough to last you about 4-6 weeks because typically those items will go back on sale again. (This is my method and it saved us over $7000 last year alone and we’ve been able to bring our grocery bill down to $20-$30 per week)
Now, let’s say you can get something free, then go ahead and get as many as you can and DONATE it!! There are a ton of organizations out there that would love those items, so instead of letting the items sit in your closets of up underneath your kids beds, give it to others. The sad part of this show is that most stores will probably change their policies after seeing the ladies shop like this every week. Keep in mind that a store has the right to change their policy at any time and I’ve heard that Publix will be changing their policy again soon. If any store changes it policy, I’ll be posting it on the website ASAP. (I’m hoping the policies stay the same, because surely the corporate office realizes that every woman/man out there that uses coupons, doesn’t shop like this)
Don’t worry though!!! You can still save a ton of money by using coupons the right way and my not going overboard with coupons. Just stockpile enough to last you about 4-6 weeks when an item is on sale and you will start to see the savings before long.
So, will I continue to watch the show?? Probably yes, however, I don’t plan on going that extreme any time soon and I don’t plan on storing items under beds, in closets, or in my little boys play room. What are your thoughts about the show last night??
