Last summer in my Grandma Rie’s Money Camp, we gave the 3 kids advertisements from the Sunday paper and asked them first to identify and cut out things that were needs; and then to do the same with things that were wants. We got by back then using open windows, fans and attic fans. Two car garages. Home offices.

There are a number of basic factors to consider while buying a house – the location, the surroundings, the environment, proximity to places like schools, colleges, offices and markets, and many more. Do you need air conditioning or can you live with fans? Presence of a garage or a shed. Do you want hot water heat or a furnace?

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. Sometimes these are item specific but other times they are money off your next purchase. Plus, when we reach 5,000 fans I'll be giving away a $50 Amazon gift card!
