Are you new to couponing? Want to know how to start so you can save too? First off, it’s not like on the show Extreme Couponing. Those trips are, well, Extreme. The stores bend the rules for free publicity on a popular cable show. They don’t represent every day shopping with coupons or any normal couponing trip. Today, I’m going to show you how to realistically coupon to save money.

How My Coupon Blog is Different

Here at Stacy’s Savings, you’ll see what it’s like to coupon in the Real World, where stores have coupon policies with limits. I still am able to get the things that I need for my family for very cheap, if not free.

    Awesome post and so true. This show has helped and hurt couponing. I just wish people would grasp that the trips they air aren’t realistic for regular coupon users. Thanks for the link up with the Alexa hop!!

    Great post! I like that the show introduces people to couponing but I hate that it gives them a false sense of what couponing really is. Thanks for linking up on my Alexa Hop! Have a great weekend! 🙂

After an 11-year home remodel and a backyard renov After an 11-year home remodel and a backyard renovation last summer, we’ve spent a lot of time out here figuring out what actually makes pool days easier.

These are a few Amazon favorites we reach for again and again all summer long.

Do you have a poolside must-have I need to know about?

#ad | This is the only nail routine I’ve used for #ad | This is the only nail routine I’ve used for the past year.

I’ve always done my nails at home to save money, but I wanted something that actually lasted without damaging my nails.

The Dazzle Dry system dries in about 5 minutes, wears like gel (without the damage), and I can go over a week without chipping.

I’m using You’re Unforgettable from their Better Together spring collection, and I linked the full system + shades in my LTK so you can shop everything in one place.

I’ve shared parts of this room before — but not th I’ve shared parts of this room before — but not the full evolution.

This is my 16-year-old son’s bedroom. I designed it back in the 2020 One Room Challenge with the goal of creating something we wouldn’t need to redo every few years.

Before that, it was a bright little boy’s room.
And when we first got the keys? Just a blank box.

Over time, we’ve upgraded it slowly — including replacing the carpet with hardwood last year to match the rest of the house.

The foundation hasn’t changed.
Just the seasons.

More books.
More Legos.
More personality.

Same room. Just evolving.

I’ll be sharing more spaces from our renovation — not in order, just as they come. Follow along for more. 🤍

Adding an art lamp was the final touch. It completely changed how this space feels, especially at night. ✨
