Denise's Stockpile

On January 18,2011, I saw a post by Family Frugal about Mr Coupon and his appearance on TLC's Extreme Couponing special. This piqued my interest, and I started exploring the world of coupon bloggers. After a week of digging around in their part of the blogosphere, I had a brilliant idea -- I would become an extreme couponer and I'd blog about it! I was picturing a funny series of three or four posts, most of which would be rambling funny pieces about not being able to manage a complete grocery shopping trip (20 minutes in a grocery store and I was ready to ditch the cart and leave) or public arguments between me and my partner about stockpiling. I was going for humor. Or I thought I was.  Read more >

Crazy Price Sign

I've never been a big fan of Black Friday shopping and have always preferred the shopping opportunities available on Thanksgiving. Thanks to extreme couponing, I'm more excited by the Thanksgiving day shopping opportunities than I have been in years.  Read more >

I've been extreme couponing for 10 months -- 10 months! Can you believe that? In some ways it feels like yesterday, still new and a little overwhelming at times. In other ways, it seems like we've always shopped this way, because it's second nature to spot great stockpiling deals and pass on other deals that aren't really deals at all. What's really interesting is that after almost a year of shopping this way, I can still get excited about new ideas and new tools for extreme couponing.  Read more >

I am dependent upon lists to keep me moving and help me get things done. I have daily lists, work related lists, book lists, and monthly lists, and I share these monthly lists every month in the BlogHer List Lovers group. If you click a few of the monthly lists, you'll notice that for the last several months I've had things like "clean the cold room" or "reorganize the stockpile room" on those lists and they haven't been crossed off. Yea, it's been a rough year.  Read more >

Empty Shelf

I think I'm the only couponer in the entire world who isn't annoyed by season 2 of TLC's Extreme Couponing, which starts September 28 at 10pm (9pm CT). Not only am I not annoyed by it, I'm actually looking forward to it and I'm hoping that I can live Chatter/Tweet the shows again this year. (I know y'all loved that last season, didn't you? Didn't you?)  Read more >

[I started sort of extreme couponing (for me, any use of coupons at all is extreme) after following Denise's Extreme Couponing series here on BlogHer. I have slacked off a bit after a few weekends when I couldn't spend an hour with the Sunday paper. So I laughed pretty hard at this post from Happily Random! -Rita]  Read more

Extreme Couponing for Babies

Children are expensive. Raising one child, from birth through college, (a public college, at that), will probably cost you somewhere around $500,000. Baby's first year could cost you around $5,000 (if you don't have to pay for childcare), and you'll probably spend about $2,000 before you ever bring the baby home. That's why baby showers are such an awesome thing, they can help reduce the amount of money spent by new parents before baby comes home. That's also why you should seriously consider using coupons to help take some pressure off of your budget.  Read more >

Gold Trophy

I was away from my keyboard an awful lot last week, due to a family emergency. This meant that when I did have time to sit down at my computer, I did not have time to read every feed in my feedreader. Since extreme couponing wasn't high on my "to do list," I marked my coupon blogs as read and carried on -- except by doing that, I felt really out of the loop and realized that I missed reading those posts. So, I stopped and thought about which blogs would be the most fun -- and the most useful to me. I marked those that didn't make my little spur-of-the-moment list as read and carried on.  Read more >

School Supplies

We had an awesome extreme couponing week last week, even if we didn't stick to our budget, (again). It was awesome because we got to take advantage of back-to-school sales and buy office/school supplies, and there's not much we like more than fondling note pads, pencils and glue. What? Why are you looking at me like that. You like it too, admit it!  Read more >
