Anyone see this? What did you think?
I had recorded it but just watched for the first time today. I have to say I was blown away. I really didn't realize the amount of money that can be saved my extreme couponing. It really has me re-evaluating my spending strategies.
I Use coupons a lot
But a lot of stores won't except computer printed coupons
Has any one else experienced this problem
I print out coupons all the time and have never had a problem. I primarily go to Kroger's and Publix. I especially love to use them when Kroger's is having their 10 for 10 sale and I have a coupon that can be doubled.
I would love that
We don't have those stores here
I shop at Market Basket and they give people a hard time with printed coupons
Your lucky Maria
Market basket doesn't take double coupons either
That's it i'm moving to Georgia lol
@Rosie..Come on! I moved to Georgia 3 years ago from Maryland. There's not enough space in this little block to list all of the reasons why but cost of living was #1.
@Jilly...Yes! It just started coming on TLC. I've only seen a few episodes and I'm already addicted. They make it look so easy.
I shop at Publix or Albertsons, and they do take printed coupons, but they NEVER double.
There was alot of controversy regarding the one lady "Jaime" who folks say committed coupon fraud. One lady even took screen shots from the show to prove it- weird!!
The Publix here doubles. But I did read somewhere that Florida Publix operate under different rules that all of the other states.
I read the information on Jaime. I think with her she did a few YouTube videos also on ways to use incorrect coupons. A LOT of people have come down on her.
As a side note, I went on my first Extreme Couponing spree today. I left with dental floss, 2 3-packs of Ivory soap, 2 packs of Scotch tape, a GE Energy Saver lightbulb and some Easter grass for $3 after ExtraCare Bucks and my coupons!
With coupons and Extracare rebates, the dental floss, lightbulb and easter grass were all free.
Way to go, Don't you just it
Thanks for all the savings you give to all of us
Wow! Great deal, Maria!
But you got 2 packs of tape, not 222! :0) lol!
Alissa,
I wish I had time to clip 222 coupons!!!
Alright, I've seen the show, but it never goes into detail about how they do it, so I live in Michigan, and we don't have a Kroger or Publix here. Anyone offer advice or can direct me to gain the knowledge on how to do this properly? I seem to only save a dollar here and there.
Maria,
I'm with you, I wish I had the time to clip 222 coupons too! You did great though on your spree
I'm with the other ladies--my Publix & Kroger don't have a problem with my printed coupons either.
Amber, my two favorite sites right now are
We Use Coupons and
The Krazy Coupon Lady.
Both sites are awesome for doing coupon matchups.
Have any of you all ever done Start Sampling? There are some decent freebies on there. It takes awhile to accumulate points, but I have gotten a Restaurant.com GC already!
I've never heard of them. I'll have to google them and check them out.
