Super Couponing

Every so often a new season of Extreme Couponing becomes available on Netflix, and my husband and I have a marathon of watching the show.  Even knowing that giant thousand dollar shopping trips that end up equally a few dollars are few and far between even for the extremers, we are always intrigued.  And each time, without fail, I am inspired to try to be a couponer, too.  Usually, my couponing splurges have last a week or two, and then they fizzle out.  But I have to admit that when I'm successful, it is exciting and satisfying.  And then I'm ready for more.  




Since our family of two is soon to become a family of three, I've been more motivated to save money and one of the ways that really does work is couponing.  Now, I don't mean simply cutting or printing a couple coupons here and there.  I mean stocking up when there's an awesome deal and being patient enough to wait for deals to arrive.  Extreme couponing is not a term that I would ever apply to myself, but there are days when I would say that I've accomplished super couponing!  

Lucky for me (and you) there are some amazing bloggers out there that already do much of the work!  So, instead of carefully reviewing the weekly ads and then searching for coupons to match, I simply follow several blogs on my Google Reader.  When I'm ready to make my grocery list for the week, I review the blog posts, find the best deals on the specific items I need, and then check to see if there are any amazing deals on items that we could stock up on and use in the future.  

The blogs I would recommend are:


This blog is one of my favorites because it is locally based in Lincoln, so all of the local grocery store deals are posted each week.  My grocery buying is made so much easier through this site.  Not only are the deals posted, but the coupon policies and other important tips for couponing in Lincoln, NE are posted.  




Both KCL and CAS are great blogs for deals both online as well as in store.  They do cover stores that are not located in my area, but it's easy enough to skip those posts.  These two I primarily use for national pharmacy chains like CVS and Walgreens.  

There is a CVS about two and a half blocks from my house, but it wasn't until I found these blogs that I began shopping there.  Now I know that it is an amazing place for couponers!  And both KCL and CAS post the weekly deals as well as potential deal scenarios to maximize savings.  Thanks to CAS last week I was able to earn $2 on a purchase.  I thought the money making deals were only on the Extreme Couponing show... I was wrong!




Both of these blogs are great, specifically for moms.  They also include some deals similar to the blogs above, but I enjoy the mom-focused element of these blogs.


Overall, I would recommend finding a local couponing blogger if possible and then check out the other bloggers I've listed here.  They are excellent resources for making couponing more straightforward and less time consuming.  As a grad student and a wife and future mom, finding ways to save time is almost as important as finding ways to save money!
