I think it there were several people that wanted to watch it and missed it so it was helpful that you posted it.

I thought you might like to see the previous disscusion.

I really need to watch this and get back big time into couponing.
I have the time because I'm home all the time. ( usually just me and the animals all day )
We have some very needing people in my family that I could share with.
I read some of the other thread and will finish it later.
I would be like the man they were talking about and be giving away a lot of it to the ones I know right now that are barely able to by food for 2 people.

**MsMarieH** · 03-28-2011, 10:36 AM

I think this is actually now the start of a short series???

**shoiji** · 03-28-2011, 02:27 PM

Right now I have the Nate Burkus show on. He has two woman talking about reducing their HBA grocery bill and how much they got the cost a particular family spent each week. Seem to be using the same techniques discussed here.

I just can't make couponing work for me. We shop at Aldis and do a major shopping trip once a mth. No where here double coupons. Walmart is a half hr or aldis is an hr so that's why I do the one big trip. I have tried couponing a few times but even with the coupons I don't think I actually save any money over just buying the generic aldis brands.

Thanks for reminding me! I was watching Sister Wives last night when the clip for it came on, but I was too snug in my bed to go to the livingroom and set the DVR, I'm off to to that now.

There was an Extreme Couponing show on a month or so ago that was just that one episode. They have since decided to make it into a series and that is what is coming on April 6. I watched that original one and it was amazing, if you can make it work for you.

Personally I can't do it. I don't have hours and hours to find and cut coupons and organize lists. I also have to drive 35-45 minutes to find a chain store and then they only double up to .50. With gas at 3.69 a gallon it just wouldn't pay for me.

My mom does really great with coupons though. But she is a homemaker with no kids at home, unlimited time and money and lives close to major stores.

I can't seem to access the kinds of coupons in Canada as you guys do.I use all I can but have trouble finding them.Seems all the really good ones are USA only.Sad,so sad----

I will be watching, and while I have doubts I'll ever pull off $2k worth of groceries for $100, I'd be happy to shave another 25% off my bill. I don't have 3-4 hours a day top devote to it either, but if 2-3 hours of clipping and planning a week can save me $100+ a month, it's worth it, I think. I live in a rural area where no one doubles coupons or that sort thing, nor do I have easy access to more than a handful of store,s but I'll watch anyways and see what I can learn.
