With unemployment still high and the recession lingering, more people are looking for ways to save money. Enter the sport and game of extreme couponing.
You may have see TLC’s Extreme Couponing (LINK) on TV, which features families who dedicate themselves to hours of coupon clipping and shopping. Is it worth it? Ask them. They regularly make purchases that are completely reimbursed by coupons or greatly discounted.
The stigma that once accompanied coupon use no longer exists. Nobody behind you in the grocery store checkout is rolling their eyes anymore. Frugal, and even super frugal, are the new in and cool.
Unsure where to start? Start by buying the largest metro Sunday paper. Some people even buy several at the newspaper box or convenience store. Check out these sites for more tips and coupons.

About Me

- I'm an Army brat and proud of it. My brothers and I were raised in khaki diapers and learned how to snap to attention and salute at a young age. (At ease!) My mother was a long-time volunteer with the Red Cross and American Cancer Society and instilled a sense of altruism in us. This forum is one of my methods to pay it forward. It's all about good karma.
