I STINK!!! not literally but when it comes to couponing I am terrible, I started watching Extreme Couponing and decided HEY why not get a news paper subscription for 4 Sunday papers every week?!! WORST IDEA OF MY LIFE!! I tried to make it happen I price matched, I clipped coupons every week, I organized them and did EVERYTHING those crazy Lady's and that one weird guy with all the toothpaste did on that show and bottom line... If your store does not double.. IT IS NOT WORTH IT!! SO for all you lucky folk out there who have stores that double GOOD FOR YOU! (I'm highly jealous) but I am OFFICIALLY a FAILURE when it comes to coupons!!

Couponing Failure

lol! Okay so this totally makes me laugh :) In a good way of course! Didn't even know you could get 4 different sunday papers! That's awesome! I think Extreme couponing is overrated, but some couponing is awesome :) Where do you shop that doesn't double? Here's a few tips if you want them :) - Safeway doubles, plus you can stack safeway coupons with manufacturer's coupons. Albertsons is pretty lame coupon wise. Fry's doubles, triples and quadruples up to a dollar, plus they take other stores coupons, so you can use a walgreens, target or safeway coupon at fry's then stack a manufacturer's coupon on it. The best part is when Albertson's and Fresh and Easy have their 10$ off 50$ or 10$ off 100$ coupons, because you can use both in the same transaction at fry's, plus the rest of your coupons. Took a long time and a lot of mormon mom's to learn all of this though :) Some months I save a lot, other times not so much, it's hit and miss! I think everyone has failure times with coupons. Good luck!
