Okay so the Extreme Couponing marathon was on yesterday...did any of you watch it or have you ever watched it?? Well I have watched the ENTIRE season! And let me tell you it sure would be nice if I lived in another town or area. Because where I live it is impossible to get the deals that these people get on the food portion of their grocery bills. We do not have multiple grocery stores in the area...there are 2, Lowe's and United. So there is no doubling plus we dont get very many food coupons in the inserts in our area. Most of the food coupons that I get, I print of the internet. These factors can make getting your entire grocery bill for $5 is next to impossible around here! BUT you can save on the more expensive things like beauty & health products at Target, CVS & Walgreens!
So the hubby and I have our own goal & plan with these couponing thing...we plan to save & stock up on laundry detergent, paper towels, shampoo, deaodrant & razors (just to name a few). These are the things that make our grocery bill shoot through the roof.
Here are some of the things I stocked up on last week at Target:
Dove Ultimate & Men's Dove deodrant reg 3.99 on sale 3.49, bought 2 of ea, stacked two /$1 off 1 Dove's Men deodrant Target coupon and buy 1 dove ultimate get 1 dove men's free (wished I would have had 2 of these but I didn't) AND received a $5 gift card. Paid 8.47-$5 gift card=$3.47 or .87 each (78% savings);
Here is one at CVS:
Pampers diapers (reg 11.99) on sale for 8.99 w/$3 ECB, I used a CVS coupon that I had from something for $3 off Pampers plus $2 manufacturer's coupon...total paid $.99
Pampers Wipes 2.49-$2 when you buy Pampers diapers & wipes...total paid $.49
I have a couple of great blogs that I reference and they will also teach you to coupon the correct way along with showing you match-ups, deals & coupns.

If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to help you all that I can!
Later Peeps & happy cpning!
