Coupons on Oprah

Yes, I know - 3 posts in one day! It's a record....

Anyway, I find it a bit ironic that I just watched Oprah (I record it) and she had a lady on talking about clipping coupons and after I just talked to Sarah about this and posted about her blog!

Anyway, this lady was talking about her store doubles coupons (no doubles here) and she started a food bank by all of the food she was getting from the coupons. She said one time that her total before coupons was $187 and she paid $3 after coupons. (YES, you can do that too!)

I also found it interesting that less than 1% of all coupons are actually used.

Here is her story:

So, I'm telling everyone that you can do this too. You don't have to start a food bank or anything big and drastic, but you can save tons of money too. It's easy and no, it really doesn't take up too much time. If you want to be inspired further, go to www.hotcouponworld.com look up your stores in your area and check out the stockpile pics (although I do happen to think some of them are a bit overboard and should donate their stuff.)

So call me crazy or what have you - but yes, I'm obessed with couponing now too. I'd rather spend my money on the fun stuff. :)
