couponing

By Karen Brown

Have you seen the new show Extreme Couponing on TLC? It chronicles families who have taken couponing to a whole new level and are saving an unreal amount on their grocery bill. While I don’t see myself subscribing to all the practices I have seen on the show, it is more than a little intriguing and has me wondering how I can be more fiscally responsible with what God has entrusted to us.

I am all for frugality, but am maybe a little uneducated in how to go about it. Don’t get me wrong, our family does Google searches for promo codes when ordering online, utilizes sites like Groupon, Livingsocial and Restaurant.com, but we don’t get the paper and rarely search online for grocery coupons. Watching the show a couple times and checking out the links to coupon sites on their website has me excited to try my hand at clipping!

Do you use coupons to save your family money? What tips and tricks have you found most useful in stretching your grocery budget dollars?

  1. I use www.thegrocerygame.com - It pairs the coupons you get in the Sunday paper with the sale cycles of grocery stores, so you're buying when things are on sale to stock up, not when you necessarily need them. It doesn't take much time at all because they do all the homework for me, and we've saved bundles on groceries.
