Extreme Couponing part 2

Being on a limited budget, it's sometimes difficult to eat healthy.  Most of the food that's good for us, costs more.  While watching TLC's Extreme Couponing, I took notes.  Today, I tried it for the first time.  I saved a little over 50% on my grocery bill. I think I did well for an amateur.

Extreme Couponing

Lately, I’ve been watching TLC’s Extreme Couponing.  Tomorrow, I’m going to try it.  I’ve studied the sales ads, and based my meal plans on them.  Then I got coupons for almost everything on that list.  Will let you know how well I did.
