Extreme Couponing, Losing Steam?

Posted 05-21-2012 at 05:58 PM by Rasha

There may be some economists claiming the recession is over, but in most households evidence points to the contrary. The Extreme Couponing “Fad” isn’t a mere trend, it’s a lifestyle change. For some, it has meant survival in these tough financial times.

While many jumped on the Extreme Couponing bandwagon thanks to the TLC show, here on AFC we knew the thrill of couponing well before then. And when couponing hit the big time, we were there for that too. Then when stores began to tighten their reign over couponing policies we’ve been up to date to keep members informed. Now with the move to more internet printable coupons (IP) and mobile coupons (including digital and ecoupons) we’re keeping up with the times. Though we’ve not forgotten tried and true newspaper clipping coupons either.

Is Extreme Couponing losing steam? For those participating in the fad, yes. Burn out happens quickly when you have unrealistic expectations. But for those couponing to save money and make more out what they have, they’re in it for long run!

Here on A Full Cup we are quickly approaching 1 million members.

Thanks to each and every one of you, we’re all helping each other to save money, improve lives, and never pay full-price again!

Thank you! Here’s to more couponing (whether extreme, just beginning, or in between)!

    I’m very satisfied with my mini-extreme couponing moments.

    I don’t coupon for things I won’t use, even if it’s free. And to give it away, chances are, if you don’t want it, no one else does.
    It’s just wasteful and/or greedy.
