Have you seen Extreme Couponing on TLC.  Unbelievable.  There's definitely an art to it folks.  Though I haven't tried it, I know several people who have, and the deals they're able to find are incredible.   I'm a little jealous, in fact.  But probably not jealous enough— it takes a lot of time to do it the right way.  In fact, people have gotten so good at it, that some stores, namely Target, Rite Aid and Publix, have created new couponing policies to try to combat the empty shelves that result from the strategies learned from extreme couponing experts.  Here's the story about it if you want to check it out: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/extreme-couponer-policies-hit-target-rite-aid-publix/story?id=14011104
