COUPON QUEEN: Reality TV v. reality: Is extreme couponing for real?

Special Photo: Jill Cataldo saves hundreds on groceries by making the most of the common coupon. You can, too.

Question: Thanks so much for your weekly columns and your web site! I really enjoy reading your tips and suggestions. Now I have a question of my own: Do you ever get into a coupon slump? I started couponing late last year. I was really eager every other week to get my coupon inserts in my newspaper and online. But all of a sudden, I just have a lack of enthusiasm. Instead of excitement, there are times that I feel like I dont want to do it anymore. Do you have any suggestions to get over this feeling?

Answer: Making the commitment to become a coupon shopper is a smart way to take control of your households finances. Through smart shopping, paying close attention to pricing cycles and using coupons to cut low-sale prices even more, you can reduce your grocery expenses significantly.
