Another Day At The Market – Exteme Couponing

January 14, 2013 · Leave a Comment

20121216-100913.jpgAnother Sunday going to King Kullens. for my daughter while she is on maternity bed rest.  I have to say I’m getting good at this.  I did the whole shopping list  in a hour.  The Wonderful Roasted Almond Accents gave me a problem. I knew they would be by the produce section near the lettuce but I just could not find them. So I finally asked for help and the nice produce guy nodded behind me – I turned around and there they were on a display tree. I must have walked by them at least 6 times.

20121216-100919.jpg

At the end of the transaction I saved 70% off the original bill.  I was so happy that all the coupons went through without a problem.  The cashier was so happy for me. She gave me a high five and said “You go, girl” !!.  Do you extreme coupon?

 

Here is a video to give you a place to start :)
