Extreme Couponing on TLC 1

My husband and I were anticipating the debut of TLC’s Extreme Couponing.  We were shocked to watch it!  How do these people save thousands every year on grocery/health/household supplies?  We watched the show and decided to start out slow to see if we could even save 50% on our groceries.  Here is how we are starting:

1. We started a subscription to the Sunday newspaper
2. We found a binder and put dividers and pockets in it labeled with sections for certain coupons
3. We went through the current ads that we had in the house and cut out all the coupons that we had
4. We arranged the coupons according to section and found coupon websites to print out more
5. We then went through and made a list of what coupons we had for each store’s sales

So far, we have gotten some items for free.  Stay tuned for part 2 of this post to have a list of websites to get you started on couponing!
