[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very time consuming - can be up to 10 hours a week just looking for coupons and matching them with sales, then you will have to go around to various stores. [/quote] +1 The people that do this aren't in it to save money, per se. They do it primarily because they enjoy it. I'm not an ECer, but I do really, really enjoy sale shopping and finding deals. For me, it's not so much about getting things I need for a price I can afford. I enjoy the whole process of researching, planning, shopping, and getting the deal. In fact, overall, I don't think I've saved that much money from it, I've just been able to give more things as gifts or donate more things to charity. For example, at my job, we do a holiday giving/angel tree type program. At least 3-4 people want to participate, but don't want to shop, so they give me their budget and the kids' wish list, and I go shop for them for the best deals. If I didn't enjoy it, it would be a chore. Extreme couponers, in my opinion, are the same way--the typical person who doesn't thrive off that very specific activity is not going to find the time and energy output worthwhile. [/quote]
