Stockpiles Do Not Have To Be Extreme

Yesterday I shared with you about organizing coupons and how to plan shopping trips for maximum savings.  This morning I want to share with you a great post from my good friend over at Thrifty Texas Penny.

Many of you have seen the show Extreme Couponing on TLC, and have either marveled or been appalled by the stockpiles shown on that show.  Either way, we can all agree that those people were on the show because they do, in fact, take things to the extreme.

If you have the time and budget to do that (yes, it does cost extra in both of those areas) then great!  But most people are able to manage on a stockpile a fraction the size of those televised.

I like this post because it is very similar to what my own looks like, even the way it is spread throughout the house in logical locations.

She even has some great tips about why spending too much time couponing, while it may save you more money, will actually cost you in more important areas of your life.

Read the full post here.

Once I get finished with all of my organizing, I plan to share pictures of my stash with you as well. =)
