Now you can download the Working Mom Coupons Couponing Spreadsheet Application / Program on last night’s episode of TLC’s Extreme Couponing!

She calls it “Numbers“

I have got several readers asking for it – it is the program Erin used on her extreme shopping trip.   It is $4.99 to download – I am not in charge of this price, the lady who owns that website sets the price.

Reader Tracie said: I do pretty well on my own, but a nice spreadsheet program/application would really help with estimate total bills beforehand. Either that or someone give me some suggestions on what I can do to help with this part of the couponing.

I don’t use  a program at all to track my deals, as  I just use the printable matchups lists on my site.  However, you may have a small store no other deal sites cover, or you extensively want to calculate your savings. Either way, I know people were excited about his so I decided to go ahead and let you know about it!

How many of you use a similar program? If you don’t want to pay $4.99, you can also view my list of freebie coupon savings tracking tools.  Let us know which if your favorite or best one.

    I can’t stand that show anymore ! Gives couponers a bad rap !?!? Those of us doing it to support our familys are classified with hoarders because of it. I little stock pile is ok, but really ???? Clear the shelves at several stores. I don’t think so.

    I refuse to watch it, also. It completely disgusts me that couponing is portrayed this way, and is also completely unrealistic. Those stores made deals for the show.That is NOT how it really works. It is like false advertising, in a way…

  • Melissa Benekos-Chatlos via Facebook

    I’d never pay for a spreadsheet program I can create on my own. I, too, can’t stand that show. It’s all about bragging rights I guess. Admitting you’re clearing shelves is not something I consider a good character trait. Just shows how utterly selfish and inconsiderate you are. And now people are looking at us couponers with disgust. It’s sad!

    I’m new to couponing and have found the shows to be insightful. It is frustrating for us newbies when we go to the store to use our 1 coupon on a great deal and all the products are gone.

    I didn’t see the show (nor will I watch it in the future) but I did make an excel spreadsheet for myself when I was shopping regular at Walgreens and Rite aid. Its not to hard to make your own spreadsheet that will calculate the total after tax and after UPs/RR’s. Basic math and excel formulas is all you need. I bet the WMC spreadsheet program is similar but a program instead of a file that I continually change the values for. Unfortunately as a couponer I’m to cheap to pay 4.99 for a program that I can pretty much do on my own in excel :)

      u r so right, what a whore for trying to charge for it

      • Shelly

        Bubbles, do you really need to call her a whore?!?

    • Jenn P.

      jenny would you be willing to share your spreadsheet with me?

  • Kimberly Iuliano via Facebook

    I have NEVER had a stoe that would give you back money on a gift card for the amount over the amount of the item. Most of the stores here limit the # of items yu can get at the really good sale price too. I coupon, but am not the extreme of these people.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Suzie-Davey/100000195632433 Suzie Davey via Facebook

    walmart’s policy says if you have a coupon that exceeds the price of the product they will give you cash or put the overage towards other groceries, so walmart does it!

    the show has kinda changed the way coupons work anymore, I still like the show, I don’t coupon like those people, I have a stockpile but nothing to that extreme, I help out some of my family stometimes when I can get stuff super cheap or free like Pasta I will give it to people not keep it all for me, one thing I did last year was make xmas baskets for everyone in my family with razors, body washes, all kinds of stuff they could use, everyone loved it, so I felt like couponing paid off for me

  • Anne K. Conover via Facebook

    boycotting here…refuse to watch!

  • Amanda

    And I thought I was obsessive! Holy smokes! How does a working mom have time to input all that data?

  • http://www.facebook.com/ginatscrapbook Gina Ball Turner via Facebook

    I too, think the show is unrealistic. I have coupon-ed for 20+ years. I have never received or seen “deals” they seem to get. Last week I purchased 197 items, I had 97 coupons and saved $85. That was a really good trip. On average I save $50, if I put a half-days work into preparing for it. My primary store is a military commissary. They don’t do double coupons or sale papers. However, the prices are so much better than HEB or Wal-mart.

    First of all, thank you for all the super deals you tell us about. You are definitely by far, my favorite couponing site. It’s so refreshing to see someone show us the way of couponing. Some of these couponers who have that, “It’s my right to clear a shelf because I got there first….I can take whatever I want because it is free and you should have beat me there” mentality…..They need to realize that a stockpile is fine and dandy. When do you stop? I know that it’s become a regular occurrence to find cleared shelves at multiple stores here in SoCal because of a few extreme couponers. I waited 3 different cycles for the same deals to become available this year, and still cleared shelves. So do they clear shelves each time because they can? How much of a stockpile do you really need? I’m being serious. I have about a dozen toilet paper, paper towels, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, razors, shaving creams, soaps, lotions and we are a family of 5. That is more than enough. And when I use one, I’m not freaking out about the “dent” that is now there. LOL Stock over a period of time. And when I save 50% off my total bill, I am happy with that. And those awesome deals for free dog/cat food, medicines, baby stuff….I give those to my friends that can use them. I don’t need to stock stuff that I have no intentions of ever using. Neither will I buy it to stash to “donate” one day either.

    I realize the extreme’s have a lot of everything – what I would like to see is how they would plan a menu for – say 1 month – and shop only for those products and see if they would have the same results. Buying all the drinks, candies, bbq sauce is ok – but unrealistic…

    I just started checking out the Cuckoo For Coupons and i dig it. But the people on this Extreme Couponing show are total nut-cases and definately are sick in the head.

    i do watch the show, i’v picked up some tips from them~ YET i get so angry with clearing shelves buying 100′s of 1 product ~ i bought 4 papers sunday and someone stole the coupons out of each one ~ its getting to where You cant help your own family i have a small stock pile as well how do you justify 30 thousand $ worth of stock pile shaking head i dont NEED 30 bottles of shampoo ! no does any one else

  • Mary Huye Summers via Facebook

    i like the show, but they never fess up to how much they are spending to subscribe to the coupon services! or how much they are spending on all those newspapers!!!

    Watched it just for a little bit that first woman was driving me crazy they way she was laughing about clearing shelves. Very disrepectful to other couponers!

    I was totally wondering and googled it but couldn’t find it. Thanks!

    If anyone wants to use mine, you’re more than welcomed to! I modded it a little after I saw the TLC spreadsheet. Here it is!

      Thanks for sharing Mandy! My OCD kicks in sometimes and I get a bit frustrated doing everything long hand!

    • Shelly

      And Thanks from me, too. This saves me from reinventing the Excel formula wheel.

    • Robin

      Thanks for sharing. I am new to couponing and I hope this will help me learn more about it.

    • Kimg

      Thank you soooo much for sharing! That is a REAL Couponing friend. I LOVE it!!!

  • Annie

    I have the .xsl version… I’m sure the one for the tablet works much better. When things are out of stock I can’t change anything “on the fly” so I don’t use it much. It’s awesome though.
    Even though I don’t live near Michelle from last week’s episode of EC… I think she comes to clear shelves here too… lol

    Ok so I’m rambling….

    I am actually surprised at all the negativity here. I like the show. I like Greys Anatomy. I like Reality TV- they are just TV shows. I dont believe everything is shown in a negative light on EC- yep, they do get the crazies who spurt things out of their mouths that shouldnt, but you all DO realize this is creative editing as well, right? Kelly last night was talking about not sleeping (She actually has a medical problem that causes that) and they said it was to stay awake for a deal. If she can laugh at it,so can I! I always like to address the people who talk abotu cash back being a “BAD” thing- you realize that these stores get paid for the money they give you- FACE VALUE- on a coupon, plus 8 cents, right? I worked at a HUGE retail store, that was my job- collect, sort, and send in the coupons to companies. Let me tell you WHAT- It took me MAYBE 2 hours a month to send in about 5000 coupons. They paid us FACE value, plus 8 cents- and we made a LOT of money off our couponers! In fact, 5000 coupons x 8 cents is about 400 dollars! I will completely tell you, I did not get paid that $400 for two hours of work!!!!!!!!!! Get a grip people, stores LOVE that profit!

    I know it’s “reality” TV and I know it’s edited. But how many people in our society today think that “if it is on TV, it must be ok”? I can’t stand 99% of so called “reality” tv because it shows the majority of the participants being stupid, rude, bossy or overly self-centered. I’m not saying that they are this way, but with this so-call “creative” editing, that’s how they are portrayed. With EC, if so & so on TV was able to get this deal, why can’t I? Because it’s not realistic,which is the complete opposite of “reality” tv.

    And of course stores make money off of coupons. They get an 8 cent “handling fee” for taking it. And guess what, they turn around and use that money to purchase more of the same items. That’s how a business works. But when people start abusing the stores policies, the store is going to change them. Enough people start to complain about “shelf cleaners” and the store can just stop taking coupons at all. All it takes is one chain to make that first step and others will follow. We still buy gasoline at these outrageous prices, people still fly with the high fares, people have to eat, bathe, etc. so stores will still survive if they stop taking coupons. Just MHO.

  • bubbles

    we don’t need your f&*()ing spread sheet

    • HWDee

      Why the negativity bubbles?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Lisa-Fulks-Bowman/1574317898 Lisa Fulks Bowman via Facebook

    I blame the stores for not having enough in stock. They know the sale is coming up and should be prepared. If the shelf is empty, I always ask if they have more (sometimes they do have more in the back), if not, I get a rain check. Why blame shoppers??? I just don’t get that.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dana-Watt-Collette/1793276432 Dana Watt Collette via Facebook

    I am talking as far as EC goes, I blame the shopper that clears a perfectly full shelf just because they can. I found out that some stores ads are prepared months in advance. If their sales have been “x amount” in “x months” before the sale, then they have a base idea of what to order for the sale. if just 1 or 2 shoppers come in and clear the shelves just because they have coupons for all of it, then, IMO, it is not the stores fault. If the shopper knows they want a large quantity, any store would be glad to special order it for them. To give credit, EC has shown special orders happening.

  • http://www.facebook.com/lori.pitcherseverns Lori Pitcher Severns via Facebook

    I too believeit is management and poor planning when a sale is coming up, if they pla so well it seems the sales pretty much coincide with the release of coupons. So they know sales will be up and need to plan ccordingly, they are forcing consumers to competitors stores who are price matching as they want the sales and a happy consumer. I used to be adament about shoppping at Walmart but CVS and Walgreens leave me no choice. So sad.

  • shirley

    Just wondering is there a coupon data base with this program when you down load…or is it just the spreadsheet?

  • Keya

    so your saying this will calculate tax? subtotal+tax=oop?

  • Karen F

    EC is not “real world”, stores are not going to let you fill multiple buggies, clear shelves and pay with coupons without a camera crew on your heels. The show, the participants and the stores (getting their free advertisment) are all a disgrace in my opinion. I share deals with family and friends on a daily basis but I would never clear the shelves. I only want enough to provide for my family and I want to leave something for your family too because I know how hard it is to make ends meet. The show and everyone involved with it gives couponers a bad name. Show a little courtesy to your neighbors. OK, done with my rant.

    • Mandi

      Agree 110%. However, since the EC show has been on, we have had some EC come out of the woodwork. Our Wags here in Texas actually started limits because by 10am or sooner on Sunday morning the shelves were wiped clean from the newbie EC. This is what the sign reads, “One item per person, per day. Please see Manager for stock” and they actually take the “free” products and put them in the office so folks can’t clear the shelves. A part of me is happy the “greedy” couponers can’t clear the shelves, but then again, maybe I want 2 of that item advertised and I don’t like it that someone is dictating how many items I can get. Double edge sword!!

  • cristina

    thats so true they walk out wit like 5 shoppin carts our stores dont let us clear the selfs there is always a limit plus they dont double n e more either

  • Katherine

    I agree that the stores on EC can’t be real and who in their right mind wants to buy six carts full of stuff at one time. I drive a chevy caviler and i don’t have a basement. although i would love to learn how to get paid for couponing so i can by the items like meat that don’t regularly don’t have a coupon. food stamps can only go so far.

  • Patricia

    There is much talk about the show but I would like to know who has purchased the WCM spreadsheet and has actually used it. Does it work?? Thanks.

  • Carrie

    Well I love to coupon and as any good couponer knows is u never pay full price. I will only buy the spreadsheet if there is a coupon. There’s not so I will do without. Lol
