Extreme Couponing- What Do You Want to Know?
How many of you are watching (or have watched) the TLC show Extreme Couponing? If you’ve never watched it before, here is a clip: Extreme Couponing Video.
The man in this particular video is Nathan. He is also the founder of a site I recently discovered and shared with you guys- WeUseCoupons.com.
For me, to watch some of these people on the show go to the register with a binder of coupons, a register racking up to $1,000, knowing they only have $30.00 to spend, kinda freaks me out. I think I would have a panic attack, personally. I also know that dumpster diving for coupons and weekly circulars, is absolutely out of the question for me.
But I know there is a way for the average person to implement couponing into their lives without going to the extreme. We get to ask Nathan, from the TLC show and the site WeUseCoupons.com, five questions. I want you to help me come up with our list of questions.
Have at it. Leave me comments telling me what you want to know. I will pick five questions to ask him in an interview that I will share with you guys in the coming weeks.
How long does it take to get everything organized just so? I seriously do not have the time to devote to finding and matching up coupons!
How do you do that kind of savings when the stores around you don’t double coupons and don’t accept internet coupons? (That’s what its like around me)
Do you have any tips for using coupons for the average person (not an extreme couponer)?
Since we don’t have stores that double coupons, how can we get good deals too?
How would you explain stockpiling to a man who doesn’t think it’s necessary (aka my husband)
What is your method for finding the best deals in your local stores with coupons? I always feel like I’m missing out on something or going to the wrong store.
Ok, so I get the logic behind “1 coupon per item,” but here’s where I was a little confused as I was shopping yesterday… if a coupon says “save $1.00 when you buy 3 boxes of cereal” am I only allowed to use that 1 coupon for 3 boxes or can I actually use 3 of that same coupon for the 3 boxes of cereal b/c of the “1 coupon per item” rule. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! 🙂
