You can be an extreme coupon aficionado too!


As I'm getting into extreme couponing, I'm realizing others are too, and I thought I'd share what I've learned thus far. I've often been called "Value Hawk" by my friends, and have always been on the look out for a good deal!  I'm compiling my resources here in case anyone else wants to join in the savings game! There are a few good resources to get started.  Coupon sites can give you may valuable coupons that you can print for free!  Some coupons may be printed multiple times, so be sure to do this on high value coupons, or coupons that make things free!  There are many blogs that do the work for you, by looking at various adds and pairing deals with coupons for great savings, or free products, this is the easiest way to coupon.  There are many product Facebook pages and websites that offer coupons for products on a short term basis usually involving "liking" their Facebook page, and coupons can usually be printed 2x by just hitting the back button.  Another easy way to have big savings is getting a loyalty card from your local store, these are usually associated with grocery stores, and you can load extra, paperless coupons, onto them on the store's website.  The final reliable source for coupons is the local paper, specifically the Sunday paper inserts.  Red Plum and Smart Source give great coupons every week and are well worth the $1.50 purchase price (or $1 at dollar general I'm told).  I organize my coupons in sections that make sense to me in a small accordion file I found for $2.50 in the office section at Wal-mart...and it's cute!  Also I see that a lot of extreme coupon people let their collections run wild, and stock up collections much larger than they can use, I recommend donating your excess to food blanks, or shelters, why not share the love!
