Journal 6: Want to Save Money?!?
Freak Show & Tell: Extreme Couponing, Severe
Scrapbooking
The first time I ever saw the show Extreme Couponing on TLC
I wondered what it was about. The first time I watched it I could not believe
my eyes. Someone could buy two huge carts full of food and pay thirteen cents
for it all. This article/video is about Rudy and she is a serious coupon
enthusiast. Rudy estimates all her "stuff" worth around 3,500 and
paid roughly $200. Rudy has to take a picture of all her grocery hauls every
time she goes to the grocery store so she can remember how much stuff she got
for a little price. Rudy says, "I will never stop Couponing!!"
I personally think couponing is a great idea, but I don't
think I could ever go to the extreme. The reason I don’t think I could go to
the extreme, because I don’t know where to start. However, if there is a coupon in a grocery ad and it's
something I need I will use the coupon, but to take the time to find different
coupons online for the things you needs sounds way to time consuming for a
college student. Also, whenever I get coupons in the mail for my favorite
clothing stores I will go online and look to see if there is anything I need,
but if there isn't anything I need I will ask one of my friends if they have a
use for the coupon. Instead of using coupons I like what Kmart and Walgreen's do
with their rewards card. Kmart and Walgreen have in store deals and if you
present your rewards card you automatically get the deal. I feel like this is a
lot less time consuming and also is saving paper because you don’t have to run
the ads with all the different coupons.
