Here's what I found:
- I learned there is a show on TLC called Extreme Couponing. Who knew? Since I cut cable, I hadn't heard of this show. There are people on there who border on the insane, I think. They hoard. I'm not kidding. People actually dumpster dive for coupons. Yes, you read that correctly. And they go NUTS on things they don't need. WHERE oh WHERE do they store all this stuff?
- This college student is trying to help her parents save money. Can someone please tell me WHY she bought so much baby formula if she doesn't need it? I'm happy that she donated the formula to Joplin tornado relief, but just where does one store 30 containers of baby formula? Or 288 rolls of toliet paper? Yes, she slashed her family's monthly grocery bill from $400 to $100. That's an awesome accomplishment. But again, where does one store all this STUFF?
- There are multiple sites devoted to extreme couponing and couponing in general. You can get check for coupons, print them, do whatever, all from your PC.
So... I think I might try out some couponing, but I'm not going to get extreme about it. I'll share my successes and failures in this new venture. In the meantime, give me your feedback.
BTW, for those of you worried about whether or not I was working this morning... I was. I crammed this little bit of writing into the nooks and crannies of my free time between meetings and reading/answering email. HAHAHA I'm getting my writing fix one measly minute at a time, but there it is.
