Why only get one when you can get one hundred?
To build an inventory, use coupons with small dollar items. The discount applied by a fixed dollar coupon against a small dollar item is larger than a discount on a larger item.
Always use store loyalty cards with every transaction. Plan your trip and clip your coupons at home.

What's your goal? To build a stockpile.
Couponing is totally sexy. The average woman spends nearly $15,000 on makeup in her lifetime, but with more than $220 billion in health and beauty coupons in circulation, you can avoid those costs.
Many couponers start looking for coupon deals to stretch their budget. The catalyst for this action is usually a stressful event like a job loss or a divorce.

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.

This show originally aired on TLC. Consumed with coupons, these mothers create stockpiles of goods using coupons. Each requires their own storage space. One never pays for hot sauce or BBQ sauce. For them, couponing is not just grocery shopping, but a way of life. They'll accumulate cat food, even though they don't have a cat, because the purchase of cat food pays them at the register. Couponing is an essential part of saving money and living frugally.

Before attempting to coupon like this, contact your local store to find out about stacking coupons and doubling coupons. You might need help when going to the store with stacks of coupons and you will need to spend considerable time to rack up savings.

What is a stockpile? A stockpile is defined as a large accumulated stock of goods or materials. These items may be held in reserve for use at a time of shortage or other emergency. In the case of extreme couponing, a stockpile is used as part of an ordinary lifestyle of accumulation and consumption of food, cleaning products, and household grocery items.
