The TLC hit show "Extreme Couponing" has taken America by storm, inspiring shoppers across the nation to shop smart, stock up, and save big in the grocery isle.
While it might not be for everyone, couponing certainly has its advantages - and in the current economy, shoppers everywhere are trying to make their dollar go further. It's little surprise that couponing is becoming a major shopping craze.
The Sunday newspapers are the easiest, and best source of coupons, where you will find coupons from both manufacturers and local stores in your area. Most deals have a limit of one item per coupon, so double up your savings by buying an extra copy (or two) of your Sunday newspaper, and you are on your way to "extreme" savings.
Many stores will also match competitor coupons and advertised deals, so if you usually shop at Walmart, you don't need to change your shopping routine on account of a great deal advertised at Publix or Walgreens. Walmart's price match policy states that they will match any advertised competitor price, including "buy one, get one free" deals, so long as there is a specified price. "Buy one, get one free" deals that don't state a specified price won't be accepted - Walmart needs to see a advertised price in the advertisement. Take your competitor catalogs with you when you shop, and let the cashier know when you are checking out that you have a price match guarantee - they will adjust your total at the checkout for everything that you have a cheaper advertise price (or coupon) for. Watch your savings grow in produce, dairy, meats, merchandise and general grocery items.
By mixing your manufacturers coupons with advertised store deals, you can really start to maximize your savings. Take advantage of a "Buy one, get one Free" deal, and use a manufacturers coupon in addition to an already low price, and you will really start to see "extreme couponing" savings.
