how many hours do you spend couponing

When I watch TLC's Extreme Couponing, I can't help but think some of these people are a little crazy spending 30+ hours collecting, cutting, sorting, etc. all of their coupons. I guess that's a bit obsesssive in my opinion. Last week, between cutting, sorting, pulling coupons, comparing sale items, etc., I probably spent a total of 4-5 hours. And probably a good hour of that time is me inputting sales into an excel spreadsheet. Hopefully, once I figure out the sale rotations, I'll have a good working sales summary to look at to see what is possibly coming up for sale so I might save coupons to use for another time. How many hours do you spend?

here it begins

I have always clipped coupons. Most times I forget and leave them at home. I try to be good, I know it's like throwing away money. So after getting hooked on TLC's Extreme Couponing, I'm giving it a harder try this time. Here's my older system. I need a bigger binder and one with a handle. That was my first order of organization. A post from my blog about my old binder. I'll post about my new binder I organized just today at a later post.

Join me on my journey.
