The folks who brought us the controversial Extreme Couponing are back with Extreme Cheapskates (preview above). And they are looking for people to feature on their TV show! Here are snipets of emails I received from the show’s producer, Michael Petrella.
I’m the casting director for a new TLC series that is about finding unique and creative ways to save a buck. We’ve explored some fabulous ideas, like washing and reusing fabric toilet paper and dumpster diving for items such as last season’s wrapping paper and greeting cards.
We’re looking for folks who go to free events for the snacks… or take dates to places with free chips and salsa and only order water. Fun stuff like that, and also some slightly odd ideals like the homemade toilet paper or heating a whole house with human waste.
If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to email Michael at casting@michaelpetrella.com.

I cleared the shelf!
I needed potatoes. So on our way home, my husband and I stopped by Stop & Shop to grab the one ingredient I needed to make my mom’s beef stew.
$102 later we walked out of the store.
“You should do the grocery shopping more,” my husband said. “You’re a better shopper.”
“Are you kidding? We just spent $102,” I said. “You would have come home with a $3 bag of potatoes.”
He nodded.
No matter who is the “better” shopper, we did score some amazing deals to the tune of 33% off our total bill. I’m proudest of the 20-ounce boxes of Raisin Bran we snagged for $1 each. Here’s how we did it.

Grocery University will take your couponing to the next level. If you are a beginner, this is a fast track to advanced couponing.
