Want to see what coupons are going to be in the newspaper for the weekend of 9/18?
Head on over to the Sunday Coupon Preview to see all of them! (There’s Smartsource and RedPlum this week)
These are hot and usually go quick!
I don’t get doubles or triples, but if you do, it’s a low value one but makes the gummy bears almost free!
It’s in many zip codes that I tried in the food category, on page 2 or 3!
Mmmmm… gummy bears!
My wife was blown away at how much popcorn and a drink cost when we went to our first movie in ages after our daughter was after 1 (and we didnt go to theaters for movies during the pregnancy).
Here’s a coupon to help you to bring those prices down!
This Cinemark coupon will allow you to get a free fountain drink with a popcorn purchase.
Enjoy the show (and the food)!
NOTE: it expires 9/18, so very soon!
With a site name like “Extremely Normal Couponing”, you would think that I hate the show “Extreme Couponing” on TLC. That just isn’t the case. Is the show ridiculous at times? Sure, but I enjoy watching it. The problem with the show is that people think that it is real life, and while those trips as they happen are truthful, that’s not going to be everyone’s experience. Many people get started with couponing because of the show which is great, but they get started with a false premise of what it’s going to be like!
Hopefully this guide will show you how a normal couponer views the show, what you you can expect out of couponing, and where to go from there…
Is it really possible to have shopping trips like the ones on the TV show?
This is one of the most popular questions people ask after watching the show. My answer is a hesitant “Yes.” It is possible to have such a shopping trip, but you need to re-examine what their shopping trips looked like. They bought huge quantities of a small amount of items. The types of trips on the TV show sure aren’t what my shopping trips look like every week! These are special trips, designed for the TV show, that use a huge bulk of coupons for a specific item that is on a fantastic sale plus has a non-expired coupon available that makes the item free or near free. They normally aren’t buying meats, produce, etc. They are making special trips for the sensationalism of television. So, while these shopping trips are real, they aren’t too realistic.
How can I have a shopping trip as good as those people on the TV show?
This is the wrong question to ask. The goal of couponing isn’t to walk out of the store and pay nothing or little to nothing. Yes, it is nice when you’re able to do that, but for the most part, you’re not going to be able to get $1,000+ worth of groceries for $25. If you change your mindset from wanting to be like the people on the TV show, to figuring out how you can save money by using coupons, you’ll progress much further and you’ll begin to save thousands of dollars, it may just not all be in one trip.
What if none of the stores around me doubles coupons?
One way to save money is to use store promotions, and a popular promotion that some stores have is doubling coupons. Not every store offers this promotion though, which leaves a lot of new couponers frustrated. None of the stores in my area double coupons and I am still able to save money. While having coupons doubled would be a nice benefit, you are still able to save a lot of money on groceries, even if you aren’t walking out of the store with everything for free. Learn what promotions your store DOES have and utilize those promotions to your benefit!
How much time does couponing take?
People on the TV show talk about spending 20, 40, 60 hours on couponing. Those people are crazy. Maybe their hobby is couponing, and more power to them, but I have other hobbies I enjoy, a family I like to spend time with, and other priorities in my life that I need to take care of, where I can’t devote 20 hours to couponing. Really, these days, with blogs like mine and many other couponing blogs out there, you can find all of the hottest deals from the stores you shop at, so the only time you need to spend is looking through those deals, find the ones for stuff that you buy, cut those coupons out, and go to the store and do your shopping! Couponing takes as long as you want it to! Don’t let people on the show saying that they spend 40 hours a week couponing deter you from saving money on your groceries!
How do they get so many coupons?
As I mentioned above, these aren’t normal shopping trips, even for couponers. They buy a huge quantity of a small amount of items. This requires a lot of coupons. One of the ways that people get a ton of the same coupon is by acquiring tons and tons and tons of inserts. This isn’t possible for everyone. The easiest way to get a ton of the same coupon is to purchase them on eBay or on coupon clipping websites. This will cost you money, so make sure that you’re still going to save enough money in order to make it worth it, even after buying the coupons. (Side Note: This is one of the things I hate about the show. For those who did spend money to acquire the coupons, they don’t factor that into the total, which gives a false sense of savings.)
Is TLC’s Extreme Coupoing show ruining couponing?
Many people have strong opinions about the TV show, and they use the TV show as a scapegoat for stores changing their coupon policies, and how the TV show is going to ruin couponing for good. These people are the type that freak out over a lot of different things in life. The fact is, stores changed their coupon policies before the show was even thought of, let alone produced and aired! Stores are constantly changing all of their policies, even the non-coupon related ones, they just don’t usually affect you so you haven’t noticed. One of the main reasons that stores are changing their coupon policies is because a select few are ABUSING the policies. I am firmly against using coupons in an incorrect manner. One policy that the complainers like to use as an example is Walgreen’s “limit 4″ policy. I am all for this policy! I am sick of going to Walgreens to get a deal and there not being anything on the shelf because one person came and got 30 of them. If people didn’t abuse policies and had some decency, then the stores wouldn’t need to implement such policies, it’s as simple as that. The stores want you to come and use coupons in their store, but they still want to make money and they still want to have all of their customers to have a good shopping experience, so they put policies in place to make sure that this will happen. None of the new policies at stores have hindered my normal couponing, and if anything, they’ve made it better because now there is product on the shelf for me to get as well!
Extreme Couponing on TLC is an entertaining show. Yes, you need to look at the show for what it is, a TV show and not a portrayal of real life, but I am all for people learning that they can save money on their groceries, they just need to learn the right way to do it, and what is realistic for them!
Man, the past 2 months have been crazy! Some changes in my life, and random things popping up all of the time, I haven’t had time to to work on this site! But, I am back now!
Part of the problem was that I was trying to scour the net and find all of the hot deals. I would love to be able to do this, but the reality of my life is that I can’t. I will go out and find hot deals, but not every single possible deal that is out there.
My main goal in starting this site was to teach people how to coupon, and while I got some of the basics up in the beginning, my constant searching for deals hindered me from being able to put up any more teaching articles.
So, over the next couple of weeks, you’ll see an influx of teaching-based “how to coupon” type of articles that will teach people some of the basics and intermediate stuff when it comes to couponing. I will also have some of the top deals as well!
So, thanks to all of those who are still subscribed either to our FREE E-mail Updates or to our Facebook page!
Stay tuned!!!
PLUS, I have a little bit of a giveaway coming up!! It won’t be huge, but free stuff is always great!!

Every month or so, I tell you guys about the FREE 8×10 Canvas deal at Canvas People. I try not to over post this awesome offer, but I definitely love these canvases. Here is the one that I bought of my baby girl:
It came out so nice, and everyone who sees it in person loves it as well! I opted for a little bit bigger size than the 8×10, but some great options for the 8×10′s is to have your child’s artwork put on a canvas, or a small collage that you can put together on your computer as well. A single photo works just as well too!
The free 8×10 does require that you pay shipping, but it’s only $14.99.
Here are the prices for the other sizes (with the $50 off discount if you choose to take that instead:
Size Price
8×10 $49.99 FREE
11×11 $63.99 $13.99
11×14 $64.99 $14.99
16×16 $78.99 $28.99
