Semi-Extreme Couponing

One of my colleagues shared this website with me last week, and it has seriously revolutionized my life:

Ever watch "Extreme Couponers" on TLC and think to yourself, "I don't have enough time to devote to something like that!"? Yeah, I used to as well. This website is like a cheat sheet for extreme couponers, and we have nabbed some amazing deals already. For example, did you know that Walgreen's, CVS and Target allow you to "stack" in-store coupons and manufacturer's coupons? Yeah, I didn't, either, until last week. If you find the item on clearance, you can often nab it for free or earn in-store credit if the coupons create an overage.

Below are just a few of our deals last week:
"Fall" Glade candles on sale at Target for $1.25 each. I had a $1.50 in-store coupon and $1 manufacturer's coupon for two Glade candles. With the coupons, I got them both for free!

Yesterday at Walgreen's
Brach's candy corn on sale for 2 bags for $3. I bought them for a pumpkin carving party and earned $1 "Register Reward" at Walgreen's. Their canned tomato sauce was on sale for 3 for $1, so I separated out the transactions (Brach's, then the tomato sauce), and got all three cans of tomato sauce for free with my register reward!

I only spend an hour (maybe two) each Sunday coordinating the deals and scoping out Krazy Coupon Lady. We have already saved a ton of money! Don't worry, we haven't created a "stockpile"...yet. :)
