We’ve become those people. The couponing type of people.

Earl and I have been doing the couponing thing for about a month now and I think we’re getting into the hang of it. Granted, we’re not the sort of people who can live off a dollar a day, but we’re saving a lot of money – where before we were spending when we didn’t have to.

We sadly, don’t have the time to devote to it that the men and women featured on “Super Couponers” do, but for the amount of time we spend on it, I don’t think we’re doing too bad.
