My name is Kelly Glynn and I am an extreme couponer. Well, in truth, I try to coupon and do pretty well. I have loved that show Extreme Couponing since returning from China. I am always amazed at these people ability to get items for free to pay for other items. Let's not talk about the fact that these people may in fact have some hoarding issues and focus on the fact that their grocery bill is less than $10 a month. Today, I slayed the coupons and made them cry a little. I looked through the Sunday paper and clipped all the coupons I believed we may use in the next month. Target had some great coupons for their store and some of those items also had a manufacturer coupon too. At Target you can use both for double the saving! I went prepared for good things to happen and was only shopping for those items with coupons. A very hard thing to do at Target when they have such great things. None the less, I powered through with tunnel vision and only got the items I was planning. I have learned a few things from the show. First thing is to split your transactions if need be. This is just what I did and it worked really well for me.
