The girls and I have been watching TLC's Extreme Couponing lately. Well, we watch almost everything TLC ...except for Cake Boss, I hate that show.
Anyway, we love the extreme couponers. These women are amazing! I want a stockpile like they have in their homes. With my girls (Julie is 11 & Kendell is 16) egging me on we decided to visit the local recycle bin recently and loaded up on thrown out coupons. Yes, that makes me a dumpster diver. Hey, it's what they do on the show!
After watching the show for several weeks I finally understand the concept of using coupons. Before I always felt like "why bother" because the coupons didn't help me when I could buy the generic cheaper, but I get now that you purchase with the coupons when the items are on sale (a great sale). And, having multiple coupons helps you stock up on one item that is on sale. Guess what? It works. It works wonderfully!
A few of my deals; 5 bottles of Excedrin 24 ct with coupons I actually made $3 with this purchase. 4 jars of pasta sauce at .64 a jar. 2 packages of Schick disposable razors 12ct and I made .06. Old Spice body wash, I got 6 bottles and they were $1 a piece....around here they run $4 a bottle. There are lots more I just have lost track.
Give it a try, but I'm not gonna tell you where my recycle bin is...that's top secret!
