In Extreme Couponing season 1 episode 11, we follow Joni and Angelique, two expert couponers from St. Louis, Missouri, as they share their tips and tricks for maximizing their savings at the grocery store.
Joni, a mother of six, has been couponing for over 20 years and has mastered the art of stacking coupons, which involves combining manufacturer coupons with store coupons for double savings. She has a stockpile of over 10,000 items in her basement, including 100 boxes of cereal and 200 bottles of laundry detergent. Her goal is to save at least 50% on every shopping trip.
Angelique is a single mother of three who started couponing three years ago to make ends meet. She has since become a couponing pro, with a stockpile of over 5,000 items in her basement. Her favorite strategy is to buy items on clearance and combine them with coupons for even greater savings. She once bought $1,200 worth of groceries for only $20.
Throughout the episode, we see Joni and Angelique planning their shopping trips, clipping coupons, and strategizing ways to get the most items for the least amount of money. They share their secrets for finding coupons, including printing them from online sources, using social media to connect with other couponers, and getting them from friends and family.
One of the highlights of the episode is when Joni and Angelique participate in a shopping challenge at a local grocery store. The challenge involves buying $500 worth of groceries for as little money as possible. The catch is that they only have 30 minutes to complete the challenge.
Joni and Angelique each have their own strategies for the challenge. Joni focuses on finding items on clearance and pairing them with coupons, while Angelique looks for items with the highest coupon values. In the end, both women come out with impressive hauls, with Joni getting $740 worth of groceries for only $16 and Angelique getting $630 worth of groceries for only $2.28.
The episode also features interviews with other extreme couponers, who share their own tips and strategies for saving money at the grocery store. We see how they organize their coupons, plan their shopping trips, and stockpile items for their families.
Overall, Joni and Angelique are prime examples of how extreme couponing can help families save money and live more comfortably. Their dedication and knowledge of the couponing world is impressive and inspiring, and viewers can learn a lot from their strategies and techniques.
