When I looked into couponing, I concluded that cooking from scratch was a low cost, better use of my time/$ & resulted in healthier food for my family. I found recipes for making my own laundry detergent & household cleaners. I made my own reusable cloth napkins & paper towels. Extreme couponing requires much more time/effort, often requires running around to a bunch of different stores. Doesn’t answer the OP’s question but thought it might be helpful to share where I landed on the topic.

I'm very interested in learning how to do this. Thanks in advance!
I briefly looked into it and it was not for me. You should join the Facebook groups because those women have a lot of experience and you can see how they match and stack sales and coupons. It’s a pretty elaborate set up a lot of them even keep spreadsheets.
But some turn into hoarders and have stashes of stuff that they never use and expire so don’t turn into one of those people!
I have a friend who does this. Her garage is filled with 60 tubs of tide at a time plus fabric softener, dish detergent etc. More than she could ever use.
She has a problem getting rid of the stuff bcs no one in her neighborhood wants to buy it and there's nowhere really to take it.
Personally I don't trust detergent off places like eBay (no factory seals) so its a problem.
