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!!

AND…. If you’re reading this, you’re probably a coupon junkie too, so here is a list of new coupons you can get today!!

{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….
