Extreme Couponing - Realistic or Unrealistic?
I did not learn anything new by watching "Extreme Couponing". The show seemed very unrealistic to me. It also made the ladies/gentleman on the show to look a little bit off their rocker. Why would anyone purchase so many items in a store that they have to spend 6 hours just to check out? Why would anyone miss a family outing or give up spending time with their husband just to shop with coupons? There is no sale worth that.
Here is a few other things I didn't agree with:
- Don't clear the shelves when you find a sale, save some for others. There is such a thing as coupon etiquette.
- My stores have a limit on the number of coupons you can use in a transaction. This policy didn't seem to apply to any store featured in the show. Why is that?
- I have a stockpile but nothing in comparison to ones featured on the show. Seriously, how many people have rooms in their home dedicated to just store items purchased with coupons? My stockpile is contained to my pantry, stand alone freezer, and bathroom closet.
- I use the binder method to use file my coupon inserts. I do want to waste hours each week to cut coupons.
- Purchasing numerous papers each week is not necessary to me. Here is a list of where I get my coupons.
Did you watch the show? If so, what did you think? Did it seem realistic or unrealistic to you? Does it make couponers look bad? Will stores take notice and possibly change their coupon policies?

A Thrifty Prom
Over the weekend, my good friend sent her baby girl off to her 1st prom. It is hard to believe that the little girl I met so long ago is old enough to go the prom. Wanting to give her the full experience of going to prom, she did find ways of saving money. It is prom time so maybe these ideas could help you.
She went dress shopping and found the dress she wanted except it wasn't the right color and the price tag was $700!! Lucky for her, her dear nana is a great seamstress.
Here is a total of what she spent and saved:
She went dress shopping and found the dress she wanted except it wasn't the right color and the price tag was $700!! Lucky for her, her dear nana is a great seamstress.
Here is a total of what she spent and saved:
Dress - $175 (fabric, patterns, zipper, thread, everything)
FREE Seamstress thanks to Nana - Priceless
Shoes - $73
Make-up - Done by a good friend for FREE
Hair - $80 (but she had to have it dyed too or it would have been cheaper)
Jewelry $50
Total Spent - $378
So she saved more on the dress than what she spent on everything!! Quite thrifty and she got the color and the exact fit that she wanted. Plus, nana got to do somethng special for her granddaughter that she will never forget.
Here is a couple of pictures of nana putting the finishing touches on the dress and of Nichole in her dress. Doesn't she look beautiful?

Today's Favorite Coupon
My favorite coupon today is $1/3 Birds Eye or Birds Eye Steamfresh Vegetables. These often go on sale for $1 or less and with this coupon you could get some vegetables very cheap.
I personally prefer frozen veggies over most canned vegetables. I think they taste more like fresh vegetables.

My Dollar General Shopping Trip Saturday - Kids Clothes
Saturday, while we were out getting pictures made with the Easter Bunny, I stopped by Dollar General. I had my coupon with me for $5 off a $20 apparel purchase. I love their Fisher Price clothes that you can find at Dollar General. The prices are great and they hold up well after several washes. I like to buy "play clothes" for each season for my kids to wear every day.
I got lucky when I got to the register and realized my local store had already marked down their Fisher Price clothes down from $7 to $5.25 an outfit so I went back to pick out another outfit. (advertised in Sunday's sales ad)
Here is what I purchased:
4 - 2 piece short outfits - Reg. $7 Sale Price - $5.25
Total - $21.00
Used $5 off $20 coupon
Total OOP - $16
Total Savings - $12
That's $4 per outfit/$2 per piece of clothing.

Where Do I Get My Coupons?
Here is a list of where I get my coupons:
Sunday Paper - I always check to see what coupons are going to be in the paper with the Sunday Coupon Preview that I post each week. Sometimes, I buy more than 3.
Friends and Family - My mom always gets the coupons out of items that she uses and then saves them for me.
Coupons on my Blog - (Right hand side) I use coupons.com very often. They always have great coupons.
Emails - If you sign up for a companies newsletter, they often include coupons.
Manufacturer Websites - Manufacturers often have coupons on their websites as promotions.
Included with Samples - If you request a sample/freebie that is listed on my blog, the sample usually comes with a coupon.
Magazines- You never know what coupons you are going to find in a magazine. Sometimes they have inserts for groceries, retailers, drug stores etc.
All You Magazine - I receive around 10 magazines a month and this is the only one that I pay for. All You magazine is always filled with coupons. You can subscribe for this magazine or it is sold at Walmart.
Where do you get your coupons? Have you ever ordered from a coupon clipping service?
