Couponing…uhm….maybe?

Steven and I started watching Extreme Couponing. I am a bit overwhelmed that these people can save upwards of 90% of their purchase! As crazy as that seams I find myself sitting here wondering, why not? If I could dedicate an hour or two a day, that I spend watching TV or playing on the Internet, to clip coupons and comparing prices to save wouldn’t it be worth it? To those of you who know me well before you roll your eyes at me knowing I am not organized, or even very money savvy at all, I will stop you right there. Oh I know I have issues with just grabbing whatever and not really paying attention to the price. Since I have been married I have actually really learned to start watching prices courtesy of my amazing husband so that is
a count in my favor. But I know that I still have a long way to go…but I have a plane. For starters I will NEVER be as crazy as ANY of the people on the show….EVER! so that puts my mind at ease a bit. Second I plan to start small and work my way up. I found an 8 week training program that helps you get in touch with exactly how to coupon. Yep there is a training course for this. Apparently its not for the faint of heart so I approach with caution. Also I have a husband that, though with a little shrug and fairly low expectations, has agreed to help me. We will see how I do. I will let you all know at the end of the summer how I did.
