Should You Extreme Coupon?

I am so glad Bargain Briana herself said that 50% savings at a grocery store is a realistic goal.  It means I'm doing my job!

Many of you are probably searching for tips on how to Extreme Coupon after watching TLC’s Extreme Couponing series. Should you extreme coupon? How do you Extreme Coupon?


Extreme couponing is possible without it becoming a coupon addict, an extreme hoarder or it completely taking over your life. I think most people can save HUGE on their grocery bill but a realistic goal is going to be 50% saving. You can see my methods and learn how to get started in the 15 Days of Couponing. You can also get started by printing coupons or searching the Coupon Database for more coupons.


Again, you can extreme coupon without it taking over your life. When you choose to go shopping or clip your coupons instead of spending time with your friends and family, you have a problem. It is like any other addiction. I’m not sure there is a 12 step problem for couponing yet! It is better than other addictions that cost you money but it still can take over your life.

HYVEE gave me gas



Got these few deals from PennyPinchinmom.com.

HyVee's receipt didn't list actual retail prices or savings, so my guestimate retail price was $14.08.  I paid $4.76 for these items after sales and coupons.  That's a savings of 66%.  I only paid one-third price for these items.

BUT WAIT!  THERE'S MORE!

HyVee Gas was offering $0.10 off per gallon of gas today only with HyVee receipt.  OK, so I only saved $1.60, but gas at $0.10 cheaper a gallon is a big deal these days!
