To Do or Not To Do - Extreme Couponing in Chicago

As some of you may have heard already, TLC's new episodes of Extreme Couponing start airing tonight at 8:30 PM CT.  Tonight's episode features two extreme couponers and one of them, Tiffany, is a fellow Savings.com DealPro.

We've heard both sides of the argument from people that love the show to people that think it's insane.

With the tips and deals we share with you on My Chicago Mommy, we hope to help you save money for your family and enjoy your life without breaking the bank.  You can be a couponer without being "extreme," but if being "extreme" is what makes you happy, then go for it!  Each person will know what is right for them.

We invite you to join us on our Facebook page to chat about your thoughts as the show is on and even afterwards to see what you took away from it.

If you'd like to learn the foundation on getting started with using coupons to save money, we suggest attending Maria's upcoming class, the "Fundamentals of Couponing" on Friday, April 15th at Panera Bread. You can register for it here.

Don't forget to check back often for more deals and savings tips!
