Couponing for the Rest of Us

Extreme Couponing (6/14) & Facebook Chat – Tonight!

Tonight’s new episode of Extreme Couponing will follow Scott Boudin & Jennifer Freeman on their grocery trips.  Scott will be shopping at ShopRite, and Jennifer will be a Glazier’s.  If you’d like to tune in, you can watch this weekly hit at 9 & 9:30 pm EST on TLC.

I’m interested in seeing this Jennifer gal, she’s one of those folks who’s diligent about writing companies to get FREE Product Coupons.  I always intend to do this, but have actually done so pretty rarely.  (Good intentions count, right?)

Join us on Facebook tonight at 9:30 to chat about the show, or just about couponing in general!  We’ll be happy to answer questions you may have, and we’d love the opportunity to meet you “Face-to Facebook”!

Hey all!  If you haven’t checked yet, head over to WeUseCoupons and see who’s there on the Home Page!  It’s Time2Save!

Nathan Engles (founder of the WeUseCoupons forum, and “Mr. Coupon” from TLC’s Extreme Couponing) took a trip down here to Tennessee to visit with us and learn about shopping at Bi-Lo, how to pronounce Bi-Lo in a proper southern accent (“Bah-Low”), and why we get excited about PURPLE TAGS!!!!  He was even accosted by a redneck gentleman who recognized him from the t.v. show – it was too funny!

Just head on over HERE to see the little video!  *If it’s shaky or unfocused at all – you can blame me (Jamie) – as I got drafted to be the camerawoman for the whole shoot :)

We want to thank Nathan so much for taking the time to hang out with us, he’s always such a fun person to shop with!

Extreme Couponing: Nathan Engles Returns Tomorrow To Shake Things Up!

If you didn’t catch our article on Extreme Couponing vs. Real-Life Couponing – please take a moment to hop over HERE and read it!

 

If you’ve been disappointed at the portrayal of some of the couponers on TLC’s “Extreme Couponing” – then you’ll DEFINITELY want to tune in this Wednesday night at 9:30 for a new episode….

I spoke with Nathan Engles earlier this week (You may remember him as “Mr. Coupon” from the first episode!) and he tipped me off that tomorrow night’s episode will be an encouraging and uplifting one.  He’ll be using “couponed” items to send off 1,000 care packages to overseas troops – how awesome is that!?

We talked on the blog last week about how “Extreme Couponing” isn’t exactly “practical couponing”.  Just like any doable diet/exercise plan – you have to make changes that you can live with, and maintain, in order to get any real, lasting benefit from couponing.  We also suggested that if we are to be known as “extreme” anything – we hope that we show ourselves to be “Extreme Givers” – using the free/cheap items we buy to bless others.

Well, Nathan will be doing just that tomorrow – hey, didn’t we tell ya he was a great guy?  :)

Tune in at 9:30 PM EST for a look at how couponing can be a tool to GIVE.
