From the Author

Brenda and Sara's first encounter was at the Chamber of Commerce meeting in the small town of Tomball, TX. In a crowd of over 300 stuffy lawyers, insurance, and real estate agents, Sara stood on stage with a goofy looking hat. She revived the audience with her quirky energy and let everyone in the room know about her upcoming fundraiser. She was charging the tiny sum of $5 to attend her class on Extreme Couponing. All of the proceeds went to support the youth group at her church.

Brenda saw a story in Sara and wrote a promotional piece plugging the class. She later brought a friend along to the class but was skeptical. How much could she learn about clipping coupons? She was absolutely amazed at what she learned and couldn't wait to put it into action.

While Brenda toyed around with the idea of writing an e-book, she wasn't sure how to approach Sara. Great minds really do think alike, because Sara ended up contacting her and wanted some help writing a guide. Between the two of us you get the mistakes and triumphs of a novice and an expert. Lucky you!

From the Inside Flap

After about 6 months of extreme shopping, Sara took an inventory and added up the value of her pantry. Taking care to list only items she used coupons to purchase, she found the retail value of these items was $981.84 but her cost after coupons was only $129.61, that's a savings of $852.23

About the Author

Sara Hailey is the founder of epiccouponing.com, the Director of her church youth group, Organizer of the Church Impact Group (for adults between youth and retirement) and the facilitator of couponing workshops. Her real job remains a wife of 14 years and the mother of four very active children. Her children play sports and have regular activities that keep her family on the move at a constant pace. So time is precious. She must make the most of her spare time and use it wisely.

Sara found herself studying the Extreme Coupon show on TLC and said to herself "I can do that!" Six weeks later she began her first extreme shopping trip and she hasn't gone back. She doesn't care if she wins the lottery, "I will never pay retail again". She started saving so much in such a short time that her husband was amazed. Prior to coupons, it was a common occurrence for her family to spend in excess of $800 on groceries every month. With a teenager and a few pre-teens in the house, food disappeared fast! She has been able to get her grocery bill down to around $200 a month. That is a huge jump from $800.

Brenda is an educator, an author, and an entrepreneur. Her resume includes growing a home business into several different locations and eventually landing a contract with a local university. Her passion, remains writing informative articles and ebooks and ghost writing biographies. Although addicted to bargains, Brenda despises shopping. She can think of a thousand different things to do with her time than to spend it at a store.

The world of coupons has opened up another side of life for Brenda and she feels as though she belongs to a wonderful new club of people living a frugal lifestyle. She doesn't make couponing a part-time job but she does enjoy the extra savings for her family.

Saving Money Can Be Fun And Easy

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2012

Verified Purchase

Extreme Couponing Without Extreme Stress is definitely for those who want to save money. Who wants to save money? Let me think about that for a moment, ... everybody.

Saving money by couponing, as eloquently expressed in this book, isn't just a case of making numbers smaller on your grocery list. The savings you make in Walmart translate into extra money you have for other things such as mortgages, music lessons for your kids, utility bills, birthday presents, etc., etc.

However, this isn't just a book that simply tells you to collect coupons. It literally and very clearly explains every step of the couponing process from where to find coupons, how to use and organize them, where to find deals, the concept of stockpiling and much, much more.

The authors of this book have combined science and art into the craftsmanship of this brilliantly written, consumer friendly book.

Good information for the beginner

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2013

I've been using coupons for most of my adult life. Like many people, I started really using them a couple years ago. It became extreme and yes even addictive. I purchased items we hadn't used, some good, some flops. I purchased at great discounting , got free items and even "made" money by matching sales and coupons. I wasn't in the extreme area of purchasing so much I had "to invent" storage solutions. My husband's work is seasonal, so I did stock up for the winter lay off. I started off with a binder and clipped every coupon. I purchased up to 4 papers a week and a 6 month subscription to All You. I spent countless hours clipping, sorting, organizing coupons and surfing the web and paper ads. Sometimes I would go to 4 stores a week. I was able to use and donate most all items I purchased. I averaged a 50-80 percent savings each trip. And then decided I was not saving as much as I thought after I added up the fuel, paper and subscription cost along with my time it costs. I simplified. Now I purchase 2 papers, only if it's going to save me more than it costs. You can preview the Sunday papers coupons to see if you will use the coupons they offer that Sunday. I only cut out the coupons we regularly use. I put these in a legal size letter holder. It's vinyl and has 12 tabs. I 1st make a list of necessity and check sale ads and websites for sales and coupons. If it's a great sale and I have coupons I stock up. If not I wait. It took me a year to learn this balance. Now I save money and time! Great stockpiling as seen on tv's Extreme Couponing in my opinion is hoarding and reality tv. I don't think we need to do that. We should buy what we need to carry us through the next sale or if you know there will be a layoff, surgery, etc. Get what you need for your family for emergencies, but not so much you need a bigger home just to house your surplus. That's how God showed me to not have stress while couponning.
I gave this book 3 stars because while it was a fun read, it was pretty basic. Well it did tell you the extreme part aka stockpiling to the extreme of needing to be creative with your storage solutions. Trust me, you can coupon and save money without the extreme and stress! Just be sure to be honest with yourself and your savings, count in the cost of all your supplies and your fuel and more importantly your time.

Couponing is terrifying but this is a good book for it.

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2013

This is a great, easy to understand guide to couponing. It's one of the better ones out there. But that doesn't change the fact that couponing is terrible and I'd rather just hide under the bed than try to keep up with the rest of you, whose coupon game is so fricking raw that you can buy 10 carts full of stuff and at the end the store owes YOU $8.00.

No thank you.

Although I am already a successful coupon guru, I still found this book interesting enough to buy. I think what I liked most was the layout and how they presented the information, which is perfect for a beginner. Although my methods are slightly different, more organized and simpler, I still felt this book was done rather well.

Too much $ for so little info

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book is not worth $10, and it isn't worth $5.15. I am really disappointed in this purchase. Took me an hour to read. Lots of spelling and grammar errors, which would be okay in a .99 Kindle download book. Save yourself the money, because that's why you wanted to buy this book in the first place. You could do the research online for all the info, or watch free episodes of Extreme Couponing on youtube. You would probably get just as much, or more, from the other people selling their book on Kindle for .99. Would have given 5 stars if I didn't waste my money.

A good basic how to book

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

Even though I am an experienced couponer, I read every book on the subject that I can get my hands on. This one is a pretty good one. It isn't as thorough as I would have liked but it does give a good basic overview of couponing. Be careful of the suggestions about getting coupons from recycle bins and purchasing from online coupon dealers. I wouldn't suggest either method.

I wouldn't really call myself a extreme couponer but who doesn't like to save a couple of bucks here and there? I probably won't live the life but I did get some useful tips that I want to employ. Pretty well written and organized. Easy to follow and useful.

If this book doesn't give you everything you need to save a fortune on your weekly shopping I don't know what will. From tips like where to find coupons how to use even down to the smallest detail like how to pick the right cashier to use at the checkout. I really don't think the authors have left anything out, this book can easily pay for itself over and over again.

Extreme coupling the stress free way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

Although this book aims to reduce the stress of couponing it certainly isn't something for the faint hearted. It needs to be treated as a job and taken seriously if you are to save significantly on a regular basis.

The authors leave no stone unturned. However it is geared to the US market so if you are in the UK you will need to research the relevant sites yourself (there are plenty)
