couponsFull-time mom Monica Vaughn shares how she has been able to save a considerable amount of money and take care of her family through couponing.

Popular television show Extreme Couponing has really been instrumental to the widespread popularity of extreme couponing. Because the show features moms who walk out of grocery stores carrying bags of groceries and paying almost nothing for them, a lot of people have become interested in trying out couponing themselves. However, expert couponer and mom, Monica Vaughn, does not believe in the kind of extreme couponing that the TV program shows. She thinks that what Extreme Couponing shows is unrealistic and does not really apply in actual situations at the grocery store.

This does not mean though that Monica has not been saving considerable money through coupons. According to her, couponing has been helping her take care of her family and not having to work full-time.

Monica started clipping coupons when she left her job. She decided to stop working because she got tired of not having time for her family. Once she had time, Monica started researching about coupons when she saw pictures of groceries on the Internet.

Once she began couponing, Monica has accumulated a stockpile that includes several canned foods, laundry products, toiletries, razors, toothbrushes, toothpastes, body washes, body lotions and a lot more. Although it may sound like something featured in an episode of Extreme Couponing, Monica explains that the stockpile that she keeps cannot be considered as something that is excessive because she has to take care of three girls and a husband who use up these supplies pretty quickly.
