Sure, I guess it's not "extreme" couponing any more because you're not saving thousands of dollars on your entire order...but every little bit helps!

I stocked up at the end of December on toilet paper, mouthwash, tooth paste, etc. I don't regret it one bit. That show makes me so mad. I'm not a freak. Yes, I have binders with my coupons in them, but I don't block the aisle as other folks are coming, I don't clear a shelf, and I don't ask for multiple transactions! I don't use credit cards, so therefore, I can't buy it if I don't have the money. There's no point in trying to purchase a ridiculous amount of whatever the product is just because you have coupons and it's "good deal." Guess what? It's NOT a good deal if you weren't going to purchase it anyway!
I've also been blogging about my experience using my coupon/frugal finding skills to benefit my chapter house. I'm not sure if any of the rest of you are in charge of helping purchase things for your house committee, but if you are, and are looking for ways to save, you can see how I'm doing it.....better yet, I need your ideas!
