WOW!!!! What a show! I was so excited for the show to start...I was like a little kid!!! However I have to say as excited as I was I was more than a little dissappointed in it. I personally think that it should be called CRAZY Extreme Couponing. Which is what has prompted me to do this blog tonight.
I want to you all to know that I am not a CRAZY Extreme Couponer. I coupon for the things that my family needs and uses. I would NEVER, let me repeat that NEVER clear the shelves of anything for a deal. I did it one time and I felt terrible about it afterwards and all that I took was the last Diet Coke I really didn't clear the shelf! If you watched the show you saw a woman clear the shelves of mustard with her husband standing there saying he didn't like mustard. To me that is just out there!!! I am not going to buy something that I know my family doesn't like UNLESS it is something that I do like...then it becomes a treat for me!!! So if this is your first time reading my blog and you are expecting me to tell you how to go from $1000 to $10 you are in the wrong place. I am here to share my knowledge of how I make couponing work for me and my family. Do I stockpile? Yes. Do I have 74 bottles of mustard in my stockpile? No!!! I stockpile just enough to get me to the next sale which is usually 3-4 months. Will I ever fill a shower with toilet paper or store bar be que sauce under one of my kids beds? NO!!! I will stockpile using the normal food storage areas in my house and will have it looking like I live in a grocery store. And finally do I think that what those women did on the show is doable here where I live? To some extent I do...but not as close to free as they got it. I can pretty much walk into CVS and get a lot of stuff for cheap. Same with Walgreens. However the grocery store is a different animal for me. Would I like to do what they did last night? Heck yeah but only if I was getting things that I know that my kids and husband will eat and use!!!
Let me leave you with this question if you watched the second episode....is Maalox a new party food that I am not aware of? If so please let me know ASAP because I am having people over this weekend and want to make sure that I get some!!!
Happy Shopping and Savings!!!!
