Extreme Couponing




The past 4 months I have been cutting coupons for my household and other nonprofit organizations. It has been an extreme couponing feeling for me. I have had 3 really good couponing moments/ transactions. I only shop at Target since I know the ins and outs on their couponing policy, which has taken me 3 months to understand. I ask around on a facebook couponing chat that is based out of the desert area. During the past month I have saved over $400. My first real big couponing moment was one Sunday afternoon I went to target and spent $7.52 in cash and saved over $250 for all of my items. I am now starting up a stock pile in my extra bedroom (husbands office). At the same time you have to understand it's mostly cereal and necessity items (cleaning supplies, toothbrushes, toothpastes, shampoo and conditioners, etc.) It is hard to find coupons on actual grocery/ food items. While shopping at Target I print out their coupons online to coincide with the coupons in the Sunday paper which make it almost free items. I would definitely recommend looking into your local grocery store that you shop at to see if they have coupons online for you to print out and use! They do it for a reason definitely use the free money.

If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Have a lovely Labor Day Weekend!

Since my last little one (3 little girls) I kind of stopped couponing. I found that I didn't have as much time as I needed! But now that I do have 2 of the 3 in school. I will definitely start couponing again at the beginning of the year! 2015!!
