Confession:
I am slowly but surely becoming an extreme coupon-er.
I don't necessarily have all the perfectly labeled binders or each coupon alphabetized and color-coded, but I am pretty sure that level will be reached shortly.

Do you coupon to the extreme?
I don't know about you, but it doesn't seem to SAVE me money - It makes me want to buy things that I don't really need...
For example: A $1.00 off Febreeze candle coupon. I love candles. BUT, I own two Scentsy warmers in which I keep in my tiny apartment. There is no need to have a candle. Do I cut the coupon any way? Yes. Will I most likely buy a Febreeze candle for one dollar off? Yeah.
C'est la vie!

I actually do coupon and it is addicting. I've actually saved a lot of money, but I've had to be careful and only buy things I NEED. Ok, I might not need 5 bottles of shampoo right now, but I don't have to buy shampoo for a few months and I will actually use them. It's all about balance and making good decisions. I've used coupons a lot for beauty products that I would love to use, but don't want to spend the money on. So, I wind up getting high quality stuff for the same price as the cheap stuff.

I need to coupon more!
I clip coupons too, but I try to only stick to the ones where I actually need to buy that item anyway. It means that my savings don't amount to much, but every little bit helps! ;)

haha! I watch that show allll the time-those people literally coupon as a full time job. i definitely clip coupons but not to the extreme, i just dont have the time :( have a great monday, and i love your closing :)
I say we become extreme couponers together. We could have meetings and swap coupons! Then we could go on the show and while we're shopping we could "drop it like its hot" behind people. What do ya say?!?! I say YES.
I use a coupon once a month - Gelson's (a high end grocery store) sends me $5 off if I spend $25. It's very easy to spend $25 on nothing in that store so I try to avoid it unless I have this coupon. The funny thing is I always wonder if I have spent more even with the discount - just because everything is marked up by at least 5%!
To answer your question - no, we have really had very minimal rain this year. We are almost always in a drought but this summer will really be tough considering how little rain we've had. There will definitely be some water restrictions to look forward to...
My camera is a Nikon 3100 DSLR. I'm happy with it except that it is so damn bulky I tend to leave it behind. Also, I thought the very look of it would make me look more professional but instead it often works against me! I haven't been allowed to use it in a few places like Hollywood Bowl, The Greek Theater and my bf had to smuggle it into the roller derby the other night!
Happy couponing!

Binders?! That is extreme! Good for you! I do try and use coupons when I can, but I also only try to use them for things I need
I have always wished I could be a crazy coupon lady. Except here in Canada, coupons are not as popular, so the savings are not as nearly as amazing as in the US. You lucky gall you.

Hey, thanks for dropping by Me+Life+Coffee! It was nice to get a link back to you to check out your blog. I love you confession on coupons! I am such a sucker for a bargain! It is amazing how something you never thought of buying suddenly becomes attractive when there is a chance to save on it! I want to learn your skills - you seem to have this DOWN!
Shhhh....I used to be an extreme couponer before it was the huge thing it is now. Now I hardly ever use them.
I coupon to an extent! I try and find coupons on items I normally would buy so I don't spend more money than usual [thats easy to do also]
