Do you extreme coupon?

[adriarobi]

I use coupons regularly, along with the sales and store ads.

I live alone, so don't need a ton, but buy ahead on a good deal.

Waited patiently behind one heavy couponer one time. She saw what I had on the belt after her, and pulled ut a good coupon as a "thank you for waiting" reward for what I was buying. It worked for me.

I would do extreme couponing if my family was still growing up.

I don't clip coupons as regularly as I used to do in the past. The most I have saved on groceries by doing so is around 75%. I actually had the cashier congratulate me and then asked me if I could help her with her couponing. LOL

I would love to learn to use coupons, I look at Mama June who is an extreme coupon user. I don't get the paper or collect coupons to do that, but I would love to learn.

I used to do a ton of coupons a few years ago but not anymore.  Most products that have the coupons seem to be processed foods, junk foods, chemically-laden cleaning & laundry products, chemically-laden bath products, and toxic pet foods & heavily scented cat litters. 

I save more money only buying the basics, keeping it fresh & healthy, unscented & organic (when possible) and making things  from scratch.   DIY, re-use & re-purpose, and investing a little in re-usable, washable items save me more money than coupons.  I make most of the pets foods (and some of it includes raw). 

Project this week will be making "pet steps" (4 steps) to make things easier for the cats.  Making from cardboard boxes & leftover carpet remnants.  Will cost practically nothing vs. paying $50 for new, even with coupon code for free shipping.

(When shopping on-line, I do use coupon codes & rebate sites though...)

I do not use coupon mostly because of the time they take.

[LaTashaS28]

Yes I love couponing but I don't use them that much.

Extreme couponing was a TLC tv show.I use coupons but no stockpile.

[tantricia44]

I really don't cuz most come on line & not in the mail anymore! I did see a lady at public had a wad of them in her hands. What looked like a $100.00 worth of groceries she paid the cashier about 10 bucks! Unbelievable!

[jgw007]

Yes. Between coupons and rebate programs, I've actually MADE money on purchases.

[yikes77]

Nope.  Most of the stores here don't do that for food items and I normally buy a lot of stuff in either bulk or warehouse sales.

I use coupons every week just not to the extreme coupon-en, wish I had the patience for it.

I use coupons but I wouldn't call myself extreme.I go through the coupons in my Sunday newspaper and pick out the ones I need that week.I save money but don't get very many things for free.When extreme couponing became popular,the stores in my area caught on and changed the rules.Most of them no longer double coupons or allow the combining of paper and electronic coupons.

     I wonder what "the best couponing websites". I have had some problems trying to download some of their websites on my computer.

I used to extreme coupon with my mom. We had a whole filing cabinet full. That's when coupons in the stores were many. I also belonged to a couple "clubs" where we traded coupons. i had friends from all over the U.S.  My store order wouldn't be more than $20 and one time, the store owed me $11...Those were great days and a lot of fun....until I got a job. Then I didn't have time. Now I don't shop like I used to so I don't use many coupons. >(

I am in awe of those who have the patience to extreme coupon.
