Extreme Couponing for Z-day?

[whynotvap]

Well, with the end of Justified for the season I found myself looking around for other shows to watch. While I was doing that, the little woman changed the channel to Extreme Couponing... I have to admit, getting a thousand dollars worth of groceries for under fifty bucks DID get my attention along with people having enormous stockpiles of food stashed inside their house. Is there anyone on here that goes to the same extremes? I can see a real benefit to saving hundreds if not thousands of dollars (to spend elsewhere) on grocery bills. How about you?

does using that 20% off coupon from harbor freight count?

I'm way too lazy to clip coupons. I just try to stock up on things when I see them on a good sale.
One thing I do more now than before is check the expiration dates of canned goods. I try to keep a little
stockpile in the basement store room of items with long shelf life. "Just in case"... I really like those Mormon Women's
videos on Youtube where they have a virtual grocery store in their basement with a rotating stock of 2 years supplies.
If I had the storage space I'd do that just so I didn't have to go to the store so often!

I think there's a thread in PIF called "coupon zombies" or something like that . . . I always thought it should be moved here, but I'm with techno . . . I'm too lazy to save a buck. Besides, my OCD tendencies would turn it into a full-time job. Although, I think it would be nice to post sales or deals on related items in here.
