Couponing

Have you watched they new show on TLC Extreme Couponing?  I did, and my jaw was on the floor the whole time.  I had been thinking that I needed to try clipping coupons to help with our little budget before but this just sealed the deal.

Now I'm not set on the idea of extreme couponing.  A lot of what they do seems very wasteful to me.  But I would like to work on our food storage a bit more.  We've been told again and again to have food storage, but I must admit ours isn't more than a well stocked pantry.  With all the natural disasters that have been happening and now that we have Tyce, I see the importance now more than ever.

So I've been blogging around looking for couponing blogs and found a few. Here are some I've found; The Krazy Coupon Lady was featured on TLC's show, Utah local Utah Deal Diva has some great pointers and links to sources as well.  

Something I've noticed in a lot of out of state couponing blogs is that they take advantage of their stores double coupon days to receive the rock bottom prices they get.  I had never heard of this before so I looked, and surfed, and googled, and from what I can tell, nothing like this exists in Utah.  Grrr!  So now I have so many more questions of how I can get those same rock bottom prices here in Utah with out the double coupon, it can be done right?  

While surfing for newspaper prices (to get those Sunday coupons) I discovered Savvy Shopper Deals through the Standard Examiner turns out the Savvy ladies offer a weekly couponing 101 class at the standard ex offices in Ogden every Thursday at 7p.m.  So I'm headed there this week; anyone want to join me?

All in all, I'm going to attempt it.  I don't know how I'll do but it's worth a try!
