A “Realistic” Look at Couponing Part 1: Coupon Preparation

Last week I shared with you all that I was going to begin a new series called “A Realistic Look at Couponing” in response to TLC’s Extreme Couponing Special (which will become a series beginning Wednesday, April 6.)

In my first video, I tackle the ins and outs of Coupon Preparation:

After watching the video, I’d love for you to take this little quiz:

How much of this video do you think is an accurate picture of my coupon preparation?

1) 100% — It’s ALL true.  (Couponing is a contact sport after all!)

2) 50%–Ok…that cart puller thing is stretching it a bit.

3) Approximately 2%–we pack snacks, of course.  Oh–and coupons.

Then tune in next week when I reveal a REALLY Realistic Look at Couponing. 🙂

    Oh My Goodness!! You to TOO MUCH!

    The helmet. The U-Haul. The jump rope!!!

    I loved it. Hysterical. I laughed out loud.

    Must share with the world!

    Still laughing! I will suit up and shop with you!! I agree with Kelly – we can snag some store uniforms – even better.

    Tell me it’s number 3, please. Though the mule-cart-pulling this has its appeal…

    You forgot your roller skates so you can get through the store faster. I love it!

    Hilarious!!! I am also amazed you kept such a straight face the whole time! I think the cart puller was my favorite! Lol!

    OMG How in the world did you get through the video without busting out laughing?!?! You crack me up!!

      I agree. I couldn’t believe you were not laughing hysterically =) Very funny. My guess is #3

    I LOVED that video! You had me laughing more and more. Of course, I’m going to say #3 is the only accurate thing you do. 🙂 That was really funny.

    Haha… what a fun video! I don’t think I could have done it with a straight face. 🙂

    I was thinking the name tag was a little excessive! LMAO!! I thought you were serious up until you put the elbow pads on!

  13. Stacey says

    March 14th, 2011 at 8:59 pm

    very cute!!! is it bad i thought the name tag was a good idea? LOL

  14. Kelly @ Kansas City Mamas says

    My real question – if you have a nametag – shouldn’t you have the store uniform too. It really would make the clearing of the shelves so much easier.

    LOL – thank you friend. I needed that laugh today.

  15. Lisa S. says

    I’m really hoping the answer is 3 because I was getting a little concerned when I started watching that video….lol!

  16. Rebecca says

    March 14th, 2011 at 8:39 pm

    That was hilarious! My guess is #3!!!

    #3 – I love the video, very funny.

    9:30 PM in the Landis parking lot & be prepared for a scuffle!! There’s nothing I won’t do for a day old shoefly pie. Look out.

    Great job Kaley:)

    Oh my goodness Kaley, I loved that – you are too funny!

  20. Susan J. Reinhardt says

    March 14th, 2011 at 8:20 pm

    The answer has to be #3. No way do you go to the store like that! You would be on the evening news.
