Why I have mixed feelings about “Extreme Couponing”.

Have you been watching the new TLC show Extreme Couponing? I’ve only watched some clips online, and have mixed feelings about it. I think that it is great that it has helped make couponing a bit more “trendy” with all of the attention. I also like that it does share some great tips and tricks, and I’ve learned a lot of new stuff.

What I don’t like is the “extreme” focus of the show. I mean, how many people really have the time and effort to spare that it would take to leave a store with $150 worth of stuff for $5 or $10 bucks, really? And even if you could find the time to do it once, this isn’t really very realistic. This is why…

The average household couldn’t spend that much time on a weekly basis just to get their food free. Plus, another big problem that I see is that the things that they purchase are not going to work to make meals each night, you know? I understand that they probably stockpile their great buys, and put them together with other products… But you will still need to have “regular” grocery shopping trips to get needed ingredients and produce, right? Plus, it seems rather greedy to wipe out whole shelves in the store, leaving nothing for the next mom that comes through with a coupon.

So, as I said, I have mixed feelings on this. What do you guys think?? I’d love to hear your thoughts!!

{UPDATE} LOADS of FREEBIES this week at Curves!!

{UPDATE!!} So, I spoke with a super nice lady at my local Curves today, and got a big more info… The deal this week is even BETTER than I thought!! Click the pic above to get your FREE week, which includes the classes and circut training. PLUS, if you bring a food donation for Northwest Harvest, they will waive the $99 joining fee if you want to continue after your FREE week! The monthly fee here is only $35 each month, which is a SUPER good deal!!

Most of you know that I’m on a mission to lose about 25 pounds, the last of the “Baby Baggage” still left on my hips from last summer. I’ve been looking at a few different diet plans, just to kinda give me a jump start, you can see the three I’m thinking about in this post.

I’d love to pick a plan, get started, and then do weekly update posts for you guys on how it’s working. And if any of you readers were using the plan too, I could feature you in the posts as well. I think this could really help motivate me, and keep me accountable too!

So, when I found this deal today to get a whole week free at Curves, I was pretty excited!! This also includes the Zumba classes, and that is what really sold me… I’ve heard so many AMAZING things about Zumba from all of my friends. And I LOVE that Curves is women only… I have NEVER been to a gym, and find it kind of intimidating. Knowing that I’d be working out with just other chicks makes me less intimidated :)

Get your FREE one-week guest pass today! Click Here! All you have to do to get your FREEBIE is to enter your email and zipcode to see the list of local sites to choose from. Pick the one closest to you, enter your info, and get a coupon to print out for a FREE week! Easy as the pie that I shouldn’t be eating….

Have any of you used Curves before?? What do you think?? I know it’s definitely worth using my free week, for sure :)

“The Mom Ambassador Program is a network of confident, charismatic, and commited moms who are enthusiastic about parenting and green living.”

If you are not a member of Moms Meet yet, you can learn more about becoming a Mom Ambassador in my post here.

I have been a Mom Ambassador for about a year now, and it has been such a great experience! Not only do they provide your group with very generous sampling kits of healthy family products to test out, they also offer FREE webinars on tons of interesting topics.

I know that when I did my last post a lot of you had questions about getting started, and how you would be notified when new events were available. Sampling opportunities are invite only, based on your profile… Things such as the age of your children, area of the country that you live in, etc.

If you did sign up last time, I just wanted to let you ladies know that new event invitations are going out now!! I’ve gotten two invitations today, one for an eco-friendly dish detergent, and another for a new gummy supplement program. So check your email to see if you have an invite too!

If not, don’t get discouraged… There are a bunch more events coming very soon for spring, and I’m sure you’ll get to participate in at least one! When you do, be sure to come share your experience with everyone else :)
