If you’ve ever seen that coupon-based reality TV show, you know that couponers can do some crazy stuff. I wasn’t — and am not — one of those couponers, but I was pretty close.
Our family was deep in debt, and I’d heard that you could save a boatload of money if you started couponing. So, I clipped like crazy, shopped the sales, and built a stockpile of the items that were most prevalent among coupons at the time, such as paper goods, toothpaste, frozen entrees, and boxed cereal. It very nearly took over my life and I also purchased more processed foods than I care to admit.
