Why I want to coupon

I wanted to take the time to blog about my experiences in extreme couponing, After watching the new reality show, Extreme Couponing, I had an overwhelming urge to try it for myself. I think some of the folks on that show need some type of intervention for their hoarding. Hoarding is characterized by excessive emotional attachments to collections. This is not what attracted me by any means. But in this economy, I would love to be able to help out my children who are trying to raise families of their own in this down economy. Not that we don't also have a strong need to save money. My husband, John, works 7 days a week and I work an incredible amount of hours from home as a freelance writer and editor. I plan to re-dedicate some of those hours to couponing to see if I can help relieve some of this financial stress.
