Extreme Couponing and Stockpiling

I am all about shopping for deals and bargains!!!  Nothing is better than finding something that you want and/or need and KNOW that you only payed a small fraction of the price!  As a matter of fact, I enjoy the hunt more than I enjoy the savings!!!  Shopping and Saving is my natural happy meds!!!

The savings are a great bonus in my shopping and couponing!!!  As for stockpiling, I do not do that for a couple of reasons!  The first reason is I don’t have the room to do it!  The second reason is I am not committed to spending the time it takes to be so extreme!   I also only commit about an hour or two to couponing a week.  I can save money and shop smart, but I don’t have to hours to spend like the “extreme couponers” that you have recently seen on TV.  I know that I would be able do that type of shopping if I devoted the time it took!

I only purchase one paper a week and at times I get my parents papers since they don’t use their coupons.  I also only shop for what I need.  So my binder is organized by category first, then by store, then I have a section of the stuff that is on every grocery list!  Learn how I organize my coupon binder by clicking here.

Feel free to comment below on how you stockpile and save?  Are you extreme?

If we are chatting during Extreme Couponing tonight I will be sure to post it on my fb page!  Feel free to join me!

    I also enjoy the hunt!! I love scouring the websites for coupons for things I buy. I do stockpile a little bit– not even CLOSE to how they do on Extreme Couponing, but I like to go ahead and buy things I know I will use when it is on sale.
    I admit the savings on the receipt are what make me the MOST happy. I love it!!

    I am feeling better now that I have found another who coupons similar to me. I only get 1 newspaper a week and on rare occasion find someone who doesn’t want their coupons. I don’t scour websites for coupons as I’m a random shopper. I make a list of 10 items and come home with a cart full. I know my coupons and will buy if it’s a good deal. I don’t stockpile. I have a tendency to hoard stuff and am working to get over that. I do stock up, though. I like to have at least 1 spare of essentials at all times (tp, soap, shampoo, etc). I canot even imagine having 30+ of one item unless we are talking money! The thrill of finding deals and cashing in on them is what I enjoy. I sure don’t enjoy lugging it all in and trying to find room for it all. I don’t have cable so I don’t watch the show. From what I’ve heard it is a lot of silliness. I would like to see it just to see if I could find any ideas to improve my couponing style. I will admit this. I prefer regular grocery stores as opposed to warehouse clubs because they don’t take coupons and that is a big reason I shop. Thanks for sharing and letting us regular couponers know we are OK! 🙂
