A few weeks ago, we caught a show on TLC titled Extreme Couponing. The show followed 4 people (2 from Cincinnati) through shopping trips where they would use coupons to lower bills from approximately $1200 to about $60. During a typical week, we spend between $120-140 at the store. Chris and I were completely inspired to try our hand at couponing. What's the worst that could happen?
This past week I spent quite a bit of time looking up deals on several websites and combining those deals with coupons. This is probably the most useful site I follow: Stockingpiling Moms.
On Tuesday I visited Kroger and saved 55% with their $5 off 10 item sale + coupons. Today, Chris shopped at Walmart and only spent $69. I went to Meijer and purchased a bulk of the meat we'll need for awhile along with discounted fruit. I only spent $30! What a great start!
