Extreme Couponing
Ok, i have recently recieved some "extreme" inspiration. Jeff and i made the mistake of going to walmart last night because i needed shampoo. I hate the Walmart we live by because anytime you go it is completely insane. But, i was out of shampoo, and I also felt pretty savy because i collected several buy one get one coupons for shampoo and conditioner. Feeling extremely proud of myself, we chose the least crazy checkout line, and still ended up waiting 30 min to check out. Why so long, you might ask? The lady in front of us was half way through her 3 chuck full - piled high cart check out. As the last item rung up, we were pretty sure she had to be close to $1000. She pulled out a novel full of coupons, and after another 20 min of scanning her coupons, (you will want to pay close attention to this next part) WALMART PAID HER $30 to take all of her groceries!!!! Are you kidding me!? We just stood there with our mouths to the floor, and this lady just laughed at me, and asked if i got the Sunday paper. Yeah, no, we don't get the Sunday paper. Apparently she gets over 5 copies, just for the coupons. Apparantely its worth it...so thus starts my obsession with "Extreme Couponing."
