My neighbors daughter just got $125 dollars worth of stuff for $22.00. She's using coupons at a local store that is giving her double coupons. I'm telling you, this girl has got it down. I'm going to try to go with her on one of her trips and see how she's doing it.

Yes, coupons are a big thing now but I think there is a real art to it and it takes some times to get it all down to a science. I use them and have managed to save here and there (every little bit helps) but haven't done anything really big like they talk about sometimes.

I know someone who manages to do that almost every week and then she posts a picture of everything she got on Facebook. I understand it's a great deal, but when I look at some of the stuff she buys I have to wonder if she really needed it to begin with. I think some of these extreme couponers are buying things just because they have a good coupon.

I've been doing pretty well lately too but not that good. Did she need all of those things that she bought or are some going to be donations?

I don't think it matters if they needed something right this second or not. If you can stock it and use it later that's still awesome. The way I've noticed prices rising here at the grocery store in the last month or so you better get it while the getting is good.

I don't know if she needed it but she has given some of it away. She recently got something like 12 tubes of toothpaste. She also got 8 cans of shaving cream and gave me and another neighbor some. I'm collecting coupons now.
