If you belong to any deal/coupon sites or blogs-the hot topic the last few weeks has been the new TLC Extreme Couponing show which returns Wednesday, April 6. I often get asked by my family or friends if that is me-am I an extreme couponer? And I usually cringe at that term. I don't want to be "extreme" in anything I do. All things in moderation is my motto!
My couponing is a hobby and I go through ebbs and flows of when I coupon heavily and when I don't. If there is a sale on thingamabobs at the local Rite Aid, I don't drop everything I'm doing to go see if I have a coupon for thingamabobs. I don't have piles and piles of anything in my house (well except maybe laundry-yikes!). I have a very modest stockpile of a few things and am actually envious of many's stockpiles that are neat, organized and complete! lol
I'd rather focus on a few "necessities" and making sure I get a good supply of those in my house without paying a lot for them than stockpiling on every item out there just because I can.
So while I will probably watch the show and I hold nothing against the people involved with the show (hey to each their own!)-that's just not me!
