I am NOT an Extreme Couponer

I paid only $1.60 for this great deal at CVS this week. I used a combo of ExtraCare Card, store coupon and MFG coupon. The retail price of these two items is $12. I am not an extreme couponer but this was an extremely good deal.

Why am I not an extreme couponer?
1. I only buy what I need
2. My time is worth a lot and extreme couponing takes a lot of time
3. I don't want to give up space in my home to stockpile
4. You have to cross ethical lines to be an extreme couponer. You have to be willing to take more than your fair share, print coupons from more than one computer and bend the rules

What I do my SMASHing friends is keep my eyes open for the deals. When I find a great deal like hair color and Ajax for only $1.60 I go for it. What I don't do is spend all my time chasing down the deal. I want to Save Money And Stay Home with my kids. If I am always chasing down a deal I will be missing the part where I am with my kids.
