When Michelle Gutwein first watched "Extreme Couponing," she thought couponers were crazy hoarders. "Flash-forward about six months, and now I'm one of them!" she says.

Gutwein has stockpiled goods in every nook and cranny in the house she shares with her husband, Darren, and two children. The work has paid off. She estimates she saves $700 a month.

But she began to think she had a problem when she found herself spending eight hours one day searching online and reading blogs. "I was running myself ragged because I thought you had to do it the way they do on TV."
