So the TLC show “Extreme Couponing” has had me thinking. Watching my first episode I literally sat with my jaw open. Totally in awe in the mastermind thinking of this way of living. These women are some serious shoppers. Most people, myself included, have the tendency of thinking that coupons are a thing of the past. That’s so 1980s, duh. BUT, no. Last night, as I sat digging on the internet at The Krazy Coupon Lady’s blog…I thought, maybe I can give this a go. Just maybeI I can save some money here and there.
So, armed with my 2 hours of knowledge from the night before, a handful of coupons and a store ad, I hit good ole Walgreens.
My laundry detergent was buy one get one FREE! I also snagged ziploc bags on sale for .99, Doritos & Lays BBQ half off, palmolive dish liquid for .89 and maddy’s favorite green tea for buy one get one free and on sale.
So here is my tally:
4 tubs of Arm & Hammer detergent, 3 bottle of Palmolive dish liquid, 6 bottles of Arizona Green Tea, two regular size ziplocs (50 count) and one gallon size (25 count) and large bag each of Doritos and Lays BBQ.
Retail total WOULD have been $55.91. I paid $29.47. I saved $26.44! Woo-hoo! Not bad for my first time, I’d say. Nothing compared to what these ladies on TLC do, but hey, not too shabby! 
I love saving money on things I will use! Congrats!
