A little over a year ago my sister-in-law took my on my 1st couponing trip. I was hooked! Over the last year however since Lukas was born I have been busy, understandingly so. Well last Monday on the television was a show about EXTREME couponing and so I set my DVR to record. I eventually got the time to sit and watch it later that evening and I was blown away. These people were hard core, I think it would even be safe to say OCD. But its simple concepts to saving money with coupons pulled me in!
Later that week I went out and purchased my Sunday papers and researched some coupon blogs on the Internet and by Monday the following week I was doing my first trip to the store to get the bargains. I picked the line that looked like it had the most young & friendly cashier(believe it makes a difference),with butterflies in my stomach I put my items up on the belt and rushed over to watch the prices ring up. At the time there were 2 other women standing behind me in line looking, their eyes got as big as melons when the cashier said out loud "you saved 66% today Mrs. Bonney (that's a whole other story), Great Job!!" I said Thank You! Have a great day!

I am amazed that people can do that. Maybe one day I will find the energy to go to all that trouble. Maybe. Enjoy all your great deals!
Good job! I have been out of the groove for the last year, but then we don't get Albertson's or Safeway doubles, so its harder to find a great deal here.
I love it too!! It's a great natural high. :)
