I came across this step-to-step guide on how to Extreme Coupon yesterday and I thought I should share! Here are some important steps that I think are needed to be a couponista.
Step 1: Decide whether extreme couponing fits your lifestyle.
Are you willing to buy store-brand items instead of name-brand items? Do you occasionally allocate time in your life to seek out deals? Do you find joy in clipping coupons? Are you organized?
Step 2: Understanding deals
Are you a fine-print reader? When you're dining in restaurants, do you usually ask for their specials? Do you know the store's policy of most of your favorite stores? Do you know which days are better to buy certain deals? And the reasons why?
Step 3: Get the inside scoop
Duh, by checking out Nutty Deals daily! :)
I like to hunt for bargains (who doesn't?), but I don't think I'm an extreme couponista since I don't revolve making my purchases around coupons. But who knows, this detailed wikihow article might be helpful to those of you who are ready to take on the challenge!
