So every day I have people email me and say I want to start to extreme couponing and right away I am like UGH if you only knew what that meant. Then if you live in south Texas you know for sure that it would NEVER be possible only if you live on random crap food for the rest of your life. So I want to tell you the difference between the two couponing so you understand what I am saying when I tell you that I don’t teach extreme I teach true couponing.
