I need all the advise I can get in how to start and continue to extreme coupon in the local areas. I need to know what local stores (especially in Greensboro, NC) allow double couponing, what are the best ways to get the coupons without buying them or dumpster diving, and what tips do you have? Thanks in advance.

a. Food Lion does not double.
b. Lowes Foods and Bi-Lo double up to 99 cents and Bi-Lo has ZVR's you can use on top of a manufacturer coupon.
c. Harris Teeter doubles up to 99 cents and has Super Doubles or Triples, about once a month. They also have ZVR's where you can stack coupons.
d. Publix does double up to 50 cents and has store coupons that can be used on top of the manufacturer coupon.
e. Walmart and Target.....well why shop there when you have b. and c. above?
There are coupon sites where you trade paypal handling fee, stamps, concealed, or BTFE, or coupons you have on hand, for coupons that you need. Or get family, friends, and neighbors to save you their Sunday inserts.
All stores have limits now, so extreme couponing (as implied by the TV show) is not real.
Ask any questions you have.
You do live in (or live on the edge of) Coupon Heaven whether you know it or not.
