I do a lot of couponing and yes I love Extreme Couponing on TLC, I get alot of my coupons in the Sunday paper and coupons.com. I can never do as well as they do on the show but last week I spent 127 and my bill before coupons was 258 so I saved half. On facebook go to the Krazy Coupon lady and like her she is very helpful.

Very intrigued by this topic as well!

I'm a couponer, so I can try and provide whatever help you need.

1. Coupons come from inserts (newspaper), blinkies (boxes at the store that spit out coupons), tearpads (pads of coupons at the store), facebook, coupons.com or other printable sources, and by contacting companies directly either asking for coupons or just complimenting their products.

2, It depends on what I am buying as to which store I use the coupons at. Health & Beauty products are usually purchased at CVS because I can get them for free/super cheap. Groceries are purchased at either Kroger, Tom Thumb (Safeway store), Aldi, or WalMart.

3. You are right, it depends on the store. At Target, CVS, and Walgreens, you can use 1 manufacturers Q and 1 store Q for the same product.

4. The amount I save totally depends. I don't buy my groceries based on meals because I already have a stockpile of items. I just buy based on what is on sale and/or what I can get free/cheap for that sales period. The only things that I each week regardless are milk, broccoli (I pricematch it at WalMart), salad, and fruit (I pricematch this at WalMart too).

My best advice is to look through your sales ads (either online or if you receive it in the mail). You just match up coupons to the items on sale, or if it's something you use a lot and there aren't Qs for it, you just stock up. If you don't want to drive to each store, just pricematch everything at either WalMart or Target (they both do it, but differently).

You can message me or friend me if you have any other questions. I've been couponing for about 4 years now and we spend roughly $200 a month for our family of 4 on groceries and MAYBE $10 a month on health & beauty products.

i buy them off ebay there is alot of sellers now that cut and make lots and you usually pay .99 cents for the lot .. if your looking for specific items type it in the search and sometimes you can buy a lot of 20 of 1.00 off coupons for something you buy alot of and you pay .99 cents for them but you end up saving so much. example i bought a lot of 20 1.00 off coupons for .99 cents on pup a roni for my dogs and i found it on sale at walgreens for 1.99 usually its regular 2.99 at walmart. i used all of them at walgreens and saved 20$ off sale price but usually like i said i buy them at walmart for 2.99 and so really i saved 40$ . the only thing is when buying coupons you want to make sure your going to save more that you spend for them kinda like a sunday paper. also watch for expiration dates cause of mailing time. there is even free item coupons that you can get that are great but sometimes there not worth what the price goes up to. good luck!!

I coupon. I use an organizer that I bought at the dollar store to put them in. I get coupons from the Sunday's paper, ones I get with free samples, Facebook, and sites such as coupons.com. HotCouponWorld.com has a lot of great info. It matches store ads with available coupons. I shop for my groceries at Kroger and Meijer and for health and beauty items I go to Rite Aid and CVS. I usually get my body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, and floss for cheap if not free.

Thanks for the good ideas!
