I don't know if I don't fully understand extreme couponing or if it's just not as doable in my area. (My grocery store options are Aldi, Walmart supercenters, a regular Target, Dollar General, Walgreens and an IGA, which offers a loyalty program similar to S&H Green Stamps, through which you trade loyalty points for prizes, but I'd rather have money off my overall bill.)
Aldi doesn't accept coupons, so I've been keeping track of sales and coupons I can use at the other places. I've saved as much as 3 percent on my overall grocery bill, but never the 50 percent and greater savings I see on the extreme couponing shows
For my most recent shopping trip, I went to Aldi to do all of my grocery shopping. For the first time in years, I got out of the grocery store for less than $100. In fairness, this was a light shopping week, so my overall bill would've been less than normal no matter where I went. However, I plan to shop there for the bulk of my groceries for the next month are so (There are a few items I cannot get there, like unsweetened applesauce, baby formula, etc.) to see if I net better savings overall.
I will still keep my eyes out for the coupons that I can use at other stores, too. Sometimes, various items will be cheaper there.
