I'm really compelled to try this whole "extreme coupon" sh*t..?

If it would help you why not do it. It actually looks fun, almost like your cheating the government out of moeny or something. I think that if you try to extreme couponing you just can help yourself and you end up just getting an entire shelf of handwash or something. I would do it because then I can help other mothers who are struggling, kids that are starving and homeless shelters and churches. Do it. Do it for all of us chickens.
