Instructions on how to use the Shopping List $avings Calculator are on each worksheet, too.

I'm working on more projects I plan to share with you this year to help you save. Please let me know how this Shopping List $avings Calculator helps you with your 2011 budget.

Getting Organized to Save More in 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 18:48:00 +0000

I wanted to share with you how I organize my coupons. Believe it or not I hate to clip coupons. I'm not very good at sorting them into little pockets in a binder and I'd rather just wait to clip them until I'm ready to go to the store. I use a simple multi-pocket folder sorted by the month. As I receive new coupon inserts I write the date on the front page and then slip it into the corresponding month in the folder. When it is time to go to the grocery store then I use my Coupon Database to search for the coupons I want to use and where I can find them (online printables or in a Sunday insert).

Extreme Couponing on TLC - Continued

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 06:13:00 +0000

Ok, maybe I was a bit harsh on my earlier post about Extreme Couponing. It was good to see that not everyone buys more than they need or they donate the extra products to a local charity. The people featured on the show dedicate a lot of time to save that much on groceries. Realistically, most of us couldn't leave the store with $1000 in product and only pay $8. Before I seriously started using coupons I would save 30% at the most on my grocery receipt from in-store sales. With the coupons, catalina promotions and store rewards I can average around 50% and occassionally 60-70%

The one thing the Extreme Couponers had in common was a strategy. Just think how much you would save if you spent 30 minutes each day strategically planning your next grocery store trip by keeping your coupons organized, creating a grocery list, and matching your coupons to local sales. Of course, reading my blog for deals and using my coupon database would help you out, too!

Another thing I noticed on this Extreme Couponer program was that you have to keep an eye on the register as the items and coupons are being scanned. Missing a coupon could mess up your budget. I've been working on a spreadsheet that is helpful in keeping track of your out of pocket (OOP) expenses. Look for my posting of this spreadsheet in the next couple of days.

Overall, the program was good and I hope it shows other that you really can save on your groceries and score some pretty good deals. Just don't clear out the shelves and save some for me!

Extreme Couponing on TLC

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 03:47:00 +0000

TLC will be airing a show called Extreme Couponing on Wednesday, December 29th at 8:00pm Eastern Time. At first I was excited to see this show and hope it would show others how to save with coupons strategically. After viewing this news clip on GMA this morning, in my opinion this show is more about hoarding and not strategically planning on how to save money.

My intentions for having this couponing blog is to help others save money. I enjoy being a couponer and see it as a hobby that I can spend 30-60 minutes a night looking for the best way to save on groceries and other deals. Saving $1000 per year with grocery coupons is strategic but having enough toilet paper to last 40 years is hoarding. There are new sales every week so I don't think there is a need to buy everything on the shelf.

Here's a link to the GMA news clip about Extreme Couponing. It's good to see that GMA mentions that there may be a problem with those people featured in this show. Having a room dedicated to a hoard of grocery items? This TLC program should be featured on "Hoarding: Buried Alive".
