I think it is totally impressive! I could learn a few tips from her as we spend much more than that on groceries for our family.

Did you know that iVillage has a new Coupon Clipping board? I'm going to be visiting this board often. Coupon clipping seems to help a bit and I know there is much more I can do in that area.

I've heard there is a new show about extreme couponing too. I think that would be interesting to watch!!

You and me both! It seems like it is a lot of work but I think it will be worth it in the end. Good luck getting started!

Yep, I do the same thing. I've also found that some of the store brands can be a better deal than the brand names w/coupons. I guess you really have to keep an eye on things! I think the trick is matching up coupons to the store sales- and that is were I go wrong. I'm going to focus on this a bit more and see how it works!
