Extreme Couponer at Heart

Some of you may know, I am a couponer and have been for almost a year. However, I don't go along with a lot of the conceptions about couponers, extreme or otherwise. 

• I'm not a shelf clearer unless it is the very last product.
• I rarely shop for myself. 
• I am able to shop without coupons, but it isn't as fun ;)
• Everything I buy is donated to a charity/non-profit of some sort.
• All or the majority of my coupons are donated to me from church at St. Paul United Methodist.
• I shop all over, but mostly Publix, CVS, and Rite Aid.

The picture above is the last haul that I just finished with last week. 

I donated the items to two different places this time. 

First was to Smart Lunches

2 Peter Pan Peanut Butters
