Sure, I use coupons, and I’m decent at it, but for me watching this video of the “Coupon Queen” is like a little kid enrolled in her first karate class watching an expert ninja.

Total before coupons: $152.86
Coupon savings: $144.70
Total after coupons: $9.43

Most of her large coupons come not from Sunday newspapers, but from rebate offers. (If you have Rite Aid stores in your area, I can’t recommend their Single Check Rebates system enough—especially if you use coupons on top of the rebates.) It’s an amazing thing to behold.
