Does extreme couponing work?

Ah, oops, didn’t realize this was an old thread.

I made you a shiny new one.

Yes but in order for it to really work several things have to happen at once

  1. You find a set of good coupons for an item you like (ebay, tons of papers, etc)
  2. The item you like goes on sale before the coupon expires
  3. The store will let you use more than 2 of the same coupon
  4. (option) it is double or triple coupon day
    I don’t see many double or triple coupon days anymore. I don’t know if that is because of extreme couponing, or just the fact that I live in a different town. But it can be done. I also notice many places do not double coupons anymore.

Example: I would wait until Jack’s pizza were on sale for 2, then get .75 off coupons to get them for $1.25. Normally they are $3 each.

Or I would buy pasta roni when it was on sale for 1. With .50 off a box double coupons I would save $1 and get it for free.
