Well that was interesting! I just went and read some of the manuals. wow those things are quite detailed and long! Found it a little comical that the Spendaholic wife is a math teacher and doesn't know how to budget.

Goodness those manuals are long

I admire the fact that the coupon couple have no car payments or mortgage but they do need chill a little bit!

The other family well they are a little out there on the pressure they put on themselves and their kids to NEVER be benchwarmers

I am sharing her stockpile and her philosphy $800 a year at a garage sale is good but thats a LOT of work to get that I guess for me not worth it lol even if I do love coupons!

100 Diapers
20 Boxes of Baby Wipes
200 Sticks of Deodorant
80 Tubes of Toothpaste
10 Bottles of Mouthwash
100 Bars of Soap
20 Bottles of Hand Soap
50 Bottles of Shampoo
50 Bottles of Cleaning Supplies
150 Canned Food
20 Cans Large of Coffee
20 Bottles of Cold Medicine
10 Boxes of Plastic Sandwich bags
10 Bottles of Dish soap
15 Large Powder Drink Mix
50 Paper Towel Rolls
30 Boxes of Tissue
10 Rolls of Aluminium Foil
400 Garbage Bags
25 Boxes of Cereal
20 Jars of Jelly
10 Jars of Peanut Butter

How much do you each spend on treats or vices per week?
We never spend anything on treats or vices. There's no need to with my magic coupon binder. The principle is simple no coupon, no treat.

I buy the local paper on Sundays because it is full of coupons and offers, but I never actually read it. I get straight to clipping the coupons.

The only "luxury" we have is cable TV and high-speed Internet service. And we did 3 months of research before we bought our TV. Although I would argue that it is a necessity because I would be lost without the Internet. That is where I find most of my bargains. So, the cable has really paid for itself many times over. INFO from Abc.com wife swap!

She would be cool to have on MommySavers who knows what she could teach us

UM I do believe those kids were playing Wii quite a bit!! And I know that wasn't free or purchased with a coupon because WE still don't have one and probably can afford it. Wasn't that part of the problem, they kids spent too much playing video games?
