The easy way to do Extreme Couponing

                                                  (>__<) omg i look so bored in these pics...



I'm sure most of you have seen the TLC show Extreme Couponing, where they show these women who spend like $5 to purchase enough food to feed a village of competitive eaters.

 

 0__0 i don't know about yall, but when i saw this show i was like i have to learn these heffa's secret!!...a.s.a.p! BUT i'm a college student with not a lot of time to give to being a coupon addict. So I needed to find an easy and fast system. So i did a few online searches (and read some O Magazine articles) and I found the holy grail! aka CouponMom.com!

 

Ok so the site is extremely confusing and it looks like a mom who has never been on the internet made the layout.........because it was made by a mom who has never been on the internet lol.

So In this post I am going to cut the fat and get to what you need to know to use this century old website and get to saving some $$$ 

FIRST: Go on CouponMom.com and make a profile.... (-__-) i'm not going to lie it's going to take a while, but it's worth it. Again remember this site was made by a cave-woman.

SECOND: GET COUPONS!....duh right? Well you have to get The Sunday Newspaper gurl! The Sunday news paper has all the coupons you will ever need! You can subscribe to your local newspaper, but i'm lazy so I just make sure to pick one up from the paper boy on my way home back from Church... or the club depending on which Sunday it is lol.

                               I pay the cute paper boy $1 for a newspaper that saves me up to $389.00 a week!

                          make sure to label each circular with the date you got it. this will help in the future!

THIRD: On Monday... yes Monday... CouponMom.com does not upload the information on new coupons until Monday...I told you that a cave-woman runs that site. Anyway!!!! On Monday go to CouponMom.com click the link that says "Grocery Deals By State".

Read the instructions!!!

 

It's long, get over it! But you have to read it to understand the method gurl!!!

FOURTH: After reading the Bible aka the Instructions, scroll up on the same page where you see that search bar with the Go! link. Find your state and the Grocery Store of your choice. I choose Kroger because their deals are the lowest and they have no silly coupon rules.

FITH: Use the list provided as such!

 

Ok so...

Red Arrow = The Date and the Circular Code (told you to label the dates remember ^_- )

Green Arrow = How much that coupon will save you

Blue Arrow = How much you will end up paying

Pink Arrow = The percent you will save

Sometimes you luck out and get things for free!! You should totally donate the free things to Charity if you have no need for it. ^___^

 

Once you are done selecting all of the items you are interested in Print your shopping list!

SIXTH: Start clipping!! By using the circular codes in the list, it will be easy to find the coupons you need!

                                              lol i accidentally had the coupons backwards!!! (-__-)

SEVENTH: Go shopping! 

P.s. - So if you are still confused just remember this key info! When it comes to Extreme Couponing it's all about matching a coupon with an item that is already on sale. That way you save double! CouponMom.com makes that easy for you. Also Extreme Deals do not come instantly! The more coupons you collect the bigger the savings. So don't expect to walkout with $800 worth of food for $10 on your first week.

p.s.s. don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach! Hungry tummy means you will do needles spending and get off track from your coupon list! 

I had a yummy organic tuna and tomato sandwich, gourmet organic crackers, and my favorite Yogi Green Tea!

Ok well i'm totally tipsy now from drinking wine while blogging so i'm going to bed! Happy Shopping!
