Thanks, Renae! Isn’t that funny- “extreme couponing” allowing you to eat better! Before using coupons, I wouldn’t have thought that was possible- but now I know that there are many of us out there maximizing our savings and quality! :)

Thanks, Debra. I’m glad to hear others know what I mean! I really think that we need to remember quality while we are saving, or we end up spending more down the road…I’ve been there and hope to help others not do that! :)

I have found that since I have started what I call “extreme couponing” my family eats better! I save money on many household items and then I am able to apply that saved money to other things. My family now eats fresh tuna and other fresh seafood we could never afford before. I stopped “paying” for toothpaste, razors, shampoo, etc. and I apply that saved money elsewhere.

I tell people all of the time don’t buy stuff just because it is “cheap”. It is really not what you save, but what you spend!

Thanks for the great post, very well said!

Great post! You said part of what I tried to a couple weeks ago. It isn't a situation where she who spends the least wins. Quality matters, and it is important to not feel deprived. Maximize savings with quality. Love it. .-= Debra´s last blog ..Frugal Friday: try something new =-.
