My husband and I purchased refurbished computers. Garage sales, estate sales, and moving sales are all great places to look for used furniture. While we do frequent the library, there are some books that we like to re-read, and owning them is a practical solution. Our tablet, laptops, and desktop are all refurbished.

Growing up in the fifties made me everlastingly grateful for a number of things, such as hot running water, central air conditioning, automatic dishwashers, TV remote control, the internet, personal computers (typewriters really sucked – no backspacing!), There were no personal computers. There were no garage door openers.

OK, I said a smart phone is a want, but what about a computer of some sort at home? We still just have one at our house though. Many new homes now have 4.

While I think the shopping trips featured on the show are a little over-the-top, you can still be Extreme Couponer without having a garage full of salad dressing. Most computers are only allowed two prints. If you need more than two coupons, try using another computer like a friend, neighbor’s. Or go to your local library.
