So, have you seen the show Extreme Couponing on TLC? Stresses me out. The first time I saw it I was like holy crap! I want to save a million dollars at the store. And then I thought wait, who needs one million boxes of pasta? And then I thought I am way too lazy slash don't have the time.
Fast forward two weeks, one of my friend's in our new ward is a crazy couponer. She taught me some basics and told me to never buy anything I don't normally use and showed me couponing could be done with very little effort.
Today was my first try. I looked over what was on sale at our local Winn Dixie, then looked through the Sunday paper and clipped a few corresponding coupons. Pretty easy.
At the check out, my total was $21.98. Then I used my coupons....
$3.26! Amazing! And I bought things we normally use and I didn't buy any absurd quantities (though I can see the appeal).
I'm just saying don't be surprised when you turn on TLC in a few weeks and I'm on.
