One extreme couponer has a Masters Degree in Business (MBA). The other is a mother of four children.
Facts: Did you know that Americans only redeem 3% of coupons? That means most of them end up in the landfill. A quarter of all coupons require you to buy at least two of an item to get the discount.
To be an extreme couponer, you must have a ridiculously organized pantry. Toothpaste is an item that comes for free all the time. Amber started couponing when her husband lost her job (something fairly common in the past few years). Tammilee uses excel spreadsheets to manage her coupons. Her coupon obsession began years ago when she lost her management job.
Grocery stores have seasons just like the people who shop there. Coupons tend to follow the seasons. Amber keeps a couponing box to hold all of her coupons. Since couponing takes concentration, it pays to shop without the kids.
Send letters to manufacturers to tell them how much you like their products and they will send you coupons. Write the product expiration date on your items when stocking your shelves. Tammilee uses binders to organize her coupons.
