Some may be thinking, why buy so many?  Why wouldn't I?!?!  If I color my hair every 4 - 6 weeks throughout the year, that means if I don't purchase additional boxes while I have a good price AND a GREAT coupon match-up, that means that somewhere along the line I would have to purchase the very same product for more money later!  Why wouldn't I save money now?!  The items will be used over the course of the next several months and I am all set for pennies on the dollar as compared to what the same products may cost me over the same time period.  EXTREME couponing isn't going crazy and having a warehouse, it is thinking ahead, matching up sale prices with coupons to maximize your out of pocket expense!  EXTREME couponing is a different way of thinking about the way you plan your grocery lists, how and when you spend your money and where you shop.  Think outside of the box!

I hope this inspires you to get EXTREME with your coupons!  Check out Couponing 101 for more detailed information to help you get started!
