I’ve been receiving so many e-mails lately on how to “extreme coupon.”  Here is a visual to help you get going.   Some things to remember;

1) You will need a cheap source of multiple Sunday Coupon Inserts (see video for ideas)
2) Stop at the stores when its convenient  and you are passing by – don’t go out of your way to shop (I live in a rural area so I have to travel to get to one of these stores so this 1 is important to me)
3) Roll your $ from week to week so your out of pocket expenses are no more than $5.00 and usually not more than $1.00 (Register Rewards/Jingle Bucks from Walgreens, Extra Care Bucks from CVS, + Up Rewards from Rite Aid)
4) If it’s FREE or a Money Maker then buy it – Even if you don’t need the product start a stockpile.  You don’t want to be caught “needing” a product because you’ll then be stuck paying full price. (you can also think about donating the product or items or using them for gift baskets for house warming presents, baby showers etc)
5) Keep a copy of the store coupon policy with you when you shop in case your savings are in question.  (You can get the coupon policy on this blog, you can also program the 1-800 customer service number for each store into your phone too – you’ll find these numbers in the “store guides” on this blog)
6) Take advantage of Rebates – See current Rebates here  (Frequently Rebates allow coupons so if your goal is to purchase the item/product with a coupon when on sale to buy it for pennies or FREE, then submit for a rebate!)

Couponing in an “extreme” way takes me about 3 hours each week ( I get hundreds of products for FREE).  Ask yourself this question, “If you could completely cut out your weekly budget for these products would it  be worth spending the time to “extreme coupon?”

(These items should be FREE once you start extreme couponing)

toothpaste
Toothbrush
Shampoo
Conditioner
Dental Floss
Gum (free or less than 20¢ each)
cough drops
lotion
deodorant
bar soap
razors
shower gel

There are many, many other items I’m able to obtain completely FREE (and make money from purchasing) but I just wanted to start a list for you so you had an idea of what you can expect. Happy Couponing!

Click here to get a coupon for $3.50 off Excedrin PM.  We should be able to find a sale and be able to get this for FREE! Print and hold for now.

Click here for a 50¢ off 2 Milky Way Bars (good stocking stuffers)

Click here  for a $1.00 off coupon for Fruit of the Loom (should be cheap if you take that coupon to Walmart or Target)

If you have any Lego addicts in your home (I have 1) you’ll want to check out the sale on Lego’s.  They are offering FREE shipping on $100.00 purchases or more and 50% off certain toys and games that are quite popular.  I took a snip of some of the items on sale but there was a pretty nice selection of different items for kids of all ages.

Click here for a sneak peak at specific coupons in your newspaper this Sunday, December 5th. Remember that some coupons are regional – meaning they may be in one region of the country but not another. You willreceive 3 inserts this Sunday in your newspaper.  Yahooo!   These will make for some good bargains!  Make sure you purchase a paper that has all 3 inserts!

If you are trying to learn to “extreme coupon” like I do then it will be important for you to find a cheap or FREE source for multiple coupons from the Sunday newspaper.  Ask neighbors, friends or start a coupon swap at your place of worship.  Beth waits until Tuesday and her local Walmart sells Sunday papers half price – just 75¢!

It is possible to get FREE products every single week and you can even work the deals so that you actually make a little bit of money from week to week. Add some rebates to that are you are being paid to shop and getting FREE goodies!  I recorded another video today explaining drug store “extreme couponing.”  I should have that up tomorrow.  “Extreme couponing” is legal and it’s fun! Its like being paid to take products off of the shelves from week to week!

There are a couple coupons I’m already excited to see!

$2.00 off any Schick Disposable Razor – that will make these FREE at Walmart (boom – paper already paid for itself!)
If you don’t use disposable razors they would be great in our gift baskets!

Happy couponing!
