As I sat and watched these people save so much money on groceries I realized I still had so many questions about the process. Joe was cracking up at my disbelief, awe, and irritation with the whole idea. I decided the only way I would truly know the value of something like this is to try it myself. I figure I'm set up to at least attempt it...I'm type A so I stress about details, I can be very organized, and I'm always up to a challenge.
I don't know if I will be and "Extreme" couponer because that seems to require transforming a spare room in your house into a mini grocery store. Instead I will make it my goal to be a "Super" couponer. I will try it for the whole summer and report out to you whether it's worth it or not. I'll share some of my struggles and successes. Who knows, maybe you'll see me on TLC in a few short months!

Good Luck!! Isn't it crazy how much they save. Although that time and energy in hundreds of coupons and research... wowza.
I tried this big time a while ago... but for us, most of the coupons out there are not for what we buy. And sometimes, the coupon is for the name brand, and the store brand is even cheaper (counting the coupon) and just as good. So now I stick to coupons for things we buy regularly. I save about $40 a month. Good amount to keep in your pocket.
Can't wait to see how it goes for you... maybe you can teach me what I was doing wrong.
