Extreme couponing Rexburg

We like free stuff. Allison and I have changed hobbies three times in the last few months. First, it was sweepstaking. We would each spend about an hour everyday entering as many sweepstakes as possible. We did that for about a month, received: (1) signed Team spidertech cycling jersey, (1) 5 lbs bag of whole wheat flour, (2) Intensive night cremes ($111 value!), and maybe a few more things that I can't remember.

Then, Alli started doing free samples. Everyday she would find companies online giving away free samples and she would request them. She's received a whole lotta small packages from that.

1) ricola Dual action lozenges, (3) Hunt's 8oz. tomato sauce, (1) Olay body wash, (4) Kotex liners-18 ct., (1) Satin care shave cream, (1) Venus Shave system, (1) Crest Pro health toothpaste, (1) Oral B Pro health toothbrush, (1) Body wash poof, (not pictured: Colgate Whitening toothpaste)

Most recently we've been couponing. We've got some great steals the past two weeks. Here's today's example. We received 75 cents for everything seen above. Yes, you heard us right...We walked out of the store with more money than we came in with. How, you might ask? That's our secret. No, but if you really want to know...that would have to be another post. Our biggest disappointment this week was going to Albertson's and finding that someone had cleared the whole shelf of dawn dishwashing liquid--it was free with their sale and a coupon--so that made us upset. We went early monday morning expecting to be the first couponers of the day. I guess there are people more extreme than us.

This is a great hobby for us to do together because not only is it saving us money (and making money in some trips), but we have fun treating it like a game, trying to see who can spot the best deals.
