Coupons!

Watching TLC's Extreme Couponing makes me want to do what those extreme couponers do. Imagine saving thousands of $$$ and paying less than 50-90 % of your actual bill? Amazing, isn't it? And their stock pile is another story, it's like having a grocery of your own at home. That part, I don't like. I don't need way too much stuff that I won't need for a month's use. It would be neat, yes, but why stock that much? Anyway, the savings are the part I like the most. Makes me wanna search for coupons online, print them out, put them in a binder and head out to the supermarket!

I do have coupons which I requested online but I haven't tried printing, I receive them mostly through the mail but my coupons are nothing compared to those extreme couponers. They do devote a whole lot of time couponing and some would even have trips to the dumpster to recover coupons, no wonder they're called extreme couponers. I wish I have the guts to be one :D

It's actually fun from the moment you get to choose the coupons, receive them in the mail then I let my son cut them out. He keeps asking why we need those so I start to lecture him about saving and hopefully he learns something. Then I look at the expiry dates before sorting them out. Yesterday, I got to bring them to the supermarket and we saved 10 CAD by using the coupons. It's not much but it's ok, wait until I become an extreme couponer!
