Extreme Couponing

This show is on tonight on TLC and I would love to get input on this whole craze.

I did couponing before our last trip to go grocery shopping.  We shopped at both Publix and Kroger and total savings was about $78.  Not too bad, however, we spent the total amount that we usually do.

A great website that I have gotten daily tips is addictedtosavings.com.  There are tips for beginners which is exactly what I needed.

My first step is to get a zippered binder and organize coupons in baseball card holders. I need to classify them by section.  I.E. Frozen foods, deli, etc. I know my biggest battle is the whole staying organized thing.  As you can see by all my Pampered Chef stuff all over my house.  LOL

Another way to organize is to put all the inserts by date and whether it's RedPlum, SmartSource or P&G.  I've done this also with the back ups of coupons.  I will post pics if you need a sample.

STAY ORGANIZED!!
