Extreme Couponing?

My family has always loved coupons but we never really got into it. Too much work, too little time, not enough resources, forgetting, the list goes on. But, the show Extreme Couponing got us all going, and in a big way.
It was kind of ironic how it happened, just all of a sudden my cousin and I dived in and my grandma quickly followed. Now we've made our little coupons boxes, bookmarked the sites, and grabbed our shopping carts! We've even started a tradition of going dumpster diving (and yes, we know what day is the most successful for getting coupons :)).
We went shopping at 12:01 Monday morning and we had so much fun. It was way tiring, but we had a good time chatting it up with the cashiers and getting to brag a bit when we saw our final reciept. When I saw the bandaids were finally in that I've been trying so hard to get I did a little happy dance right in the aisle... good thing no one is shopping at that hour.
We've now saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars and gotten so much for free. I now have enough bandaids to last me 11.7 years, and that's using one every day. Let's just say, some humanitarian aid kits are going to be made... unless I want some pretty funny items going with me when I get married! Don't ask me what I'm going to do with 1,000 pantiliners either!!
It's been so much fun though! It's been such a bonding experience with my cousin and grandma! I'll sure have some stories to tell my kids about their GREAT grandmother :).
