Coupon Crazy!

So last night, I watched this show on TLC called Extreme Couponing. And I gotta say, it kind of lit a fire under me. I want to be like that. I want to have a $600 bill at the grocery checkout, and only end up spending $2. What the crap? But it does take a lot of planning and a lot of coupons to achieve that amount of savings. And right now, I just don't have the kind of time to go through the stores and figure out the deals, then match up the coupons. My mother in law, on the other hand, related to some of what these shoppers do. She stocks up on food, she looks for freebie deals, she's been there done all that. I've used coupons, but never to the extent of saving more than 30% of my bill. I've never stocked up on anything. I just have to get into the mindset if there is an extremely good deal, I should stock up on that deal. Meaning, I should probably buy a couple more Sunday papers so I get more coupons. I'll start there, then see where that gets me.
