{ Extreme Coupon Education }
Do you know how to combine store coupons and manufacturers coupons to save even more money at the grocery store? Because they don’t tell you everything on reality television we are here to reveal the secrets of Extreme Couponing. TLC’s Extreme Couponing is really not about education it is more about entertainment. Our goal is to educate you and empower you to save money for your family.
Many moons ago when we were figuring out how to coupon we were astounded when we learned this!
You can actually use TWO coupons on ONE product!
You can not use two manufacturers coupons on the same product BUT…
You can combine a store coupon and a manufactures coupon for one item!
Here is a scenario to show you how it works…
Many stores offer store coupons to their customers Here are a few of our favorite stores that have store coupons: Albertsons, Fred Meyer, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Target (Target store coupons are on their website).
Why does this work? The store coupon acts as a voucher allowing you to get the store sale. You can always combine your manufacturers coupons with a store sale. This sale you just need to have a store coupon to get the sale price!

About Monica
It all began on October 8th, 2008. Cathy and Monica started this coupon blog to help friends and family learn about their new money saving hobby couponing! Since then they have taught thousands of women (and men) 
Walgreens would not let me combine their coupon with a manufacturer’s coupon. This happened months ago. Are the rules different for different states? I live in Arizona.
I am always able to in Southern Nevada.
Sometimes the Walgreen’s Store coupon is also a Manufacturer’s one, like in the Flu books, those you can’t stack with anothe manufacturer one. At least that was how management explained it to me. So most you can stack.
I watched Extreme Couponing last week, the shopper had about 20 packages of name brand bathroom tissue that she got for free. That tissue cost about $5.99 on sale. Could you explain how did she get it for free? The most I have seen a bathroom tissue coupon is for .25 so even when you double it, you still have to pay $5.49 per package? It would be nice for the program to tell the viewers exactly what the shoppers are during to get all this stuff for free (if it is legit). Just bragging that you got it for nothing means nothing to the viewer. In my neighborhood there is a limit of 20 coupons per transaction, per customer, per day and no more than 2 of the same manufacturer can be doubled. So I would like to invite those shoppers to come to Portsmouth, VA and show me what they got, cause I bet they can’t do it. And No store here in Virgina is going to give you a gift card for an overage in coupons.I have been unsuccessful in cutting my grocery bill in half. Just for the record I feed my family real food, live food not can goods. Can someone show me how to save 30% on real food.
Hi Lorraine-
You must first keep in mind that Extreme Couponing the show is reality television and sadly the purpose is for entertainment not education.
I have never been able to get free toilet paper. My best toilet paper deals have been shipped to my house from amazon: http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/tag/toilet-paper-deal
I wrote a series last summer that I think will help you very much: http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/2012/06/extreme-coupon-education-are-coupons-only-for-junk-foods.html
I’m not an extreme couponer, in fact I just started learning how to do this last month but did get free toilet paper last week. I only got 2 packages of 4 rolls. Angel Soft was on sale at Phoenix Safeway stores for .99ea and our stores bump all coupons up to a dollar. My friend that is teaching me about all this stuff was amazed b/c she’s never gotten free tp either. But I didn’t even know it wasn’t common!
