Crazy Coupon Lady

Extreme Couponing on TLC is the best show ever! These people are insane!!!! So, i'm watching it the other day and these people are saving like thousands upon thousands of dollars every time they shop! One woman's total bill before her store card and coupons was over $1500, after discounts, $6.52! How crazy is that!?! Now let's not forget the fact that her home is a grocery store in and of itself but c'mon people, that's insane savings! So why can't I do that? Why can't I go to the market and buy a ton of stuff and only pay $6? Well, i'm gonna try damnit! So here I go...

I got all my coupons together this past Sunday, all clipped nicey nice, organized just so and broke out the circulars. I stuck with Shoprite, Stop and Shop and Price Chopper but as it turns out Price Chopper has the least quality deals out of all of them. After scanning for the best deals and comparing them to the coupons I have it turns out Shoprite is the store of choice for this shopping trip. So here's how it went down...

I managed to get;

2 tubs of mayo (Kraft, not Hellmans :( )

8 pints of International Delight Coffee Creamers (They have a great shelf life, and hey, I drink alot of coffee)

4 Bottles of Loreal Colorvive Shampoo and Conditioner

1 tub of Matzoh Meal (it's Passover people, gotta make some Matzoh Balls)

After my store card and coupons I only spent $17.17, saving over $37! Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Now it's not a $1000 savings like they show on tv but it's ok, i'm just starting this new obsession. Now, I know, you're thinking 'What the heck do you need 8 creamers for? 2 tubs of Mayo?..." But if you use the stuff, which I do, and it will hold on the shelf, which it will (the creamers for example are good until September) then why not I say!?! It takes some time, and it's kind of a pain in the ass but there is definitely something to be said for the art of couponing. So, I leave you now to go wash my hair, drink some coffee and make some Matzoh Balls... Hope you all can find couponing as successful as I have!
