Extreme Couponing

[Kyle B]

Anyone else watch this show? It's pretty hilarious. :tooth

"Mom, why are we cutting out coupons for dog food when we don't have a dog?"
"DOESN'T MATTER IT'S FREE!"

Stupid child.

A different couponer: " If I didn't have couponing my life would be kind of dull...." Jesus. lol

In this episode I'm watching, a woman buys a cow so she can get her meat in bulk. Smart lady.

That stuff doesn't impress me much. I only see them buy junk, never a good deal on meat , chicken, or fruits and vegetables.

A lot of the people I see stockpile stuff that they don't even use. I just don't get it. I mean, I'm all for saving money and I would love to be able to go into the grocery store and walk out w/ a buggy full for a few bucks...but I'm not spending several hours a day cutting coupons for it. My time is more valuable, LOL

I had a friend in high school whose dad was super into couponing.... not quite to the level of the people on the show, but their basement had 3 or 4 storage shelving units packed with all sorts of hygiene products & dry goods. Apparently he spent a good 4-5 hours every week clipping coupons, and would have to time his grocery shopping trips for times when he wouldn't clog up the lanes.

I saw a scene of a mother and her kids having a paper towel fight in their hoard room....like 5289652876556765 rolls of paper towel strewn about.

I'm confident this couponing craze will bring me a lot of psychiatric clients in the future.

 

[pjbleek]

extreme couponing leads to hoarding which leads to clutter which in turn leads to Clean house....so, actually you could be on three or more reality shows.....good lord....

Actually...the clip I saw was from a pageant show!! So the little girl was a beauty queen living in a hoard village with a coupon mom.

:eek

I got a coupon for 25 cents off a litre of gas when we went grocery shopping.:thumbup

Saved 13 bucks on a tankful!

That's a nice savings. We have coupons with our groceries for gas too, usually a couple of cents each time, but they can be saved and combined for one faily decent savings...any saving in gas is a good one...$1.40/litre is hard on the bank acct.

It's really good for household products, TP, paper towels, paper plates, toothpaste, fem hygiene, dish and laundry soap, shampoo/conditioner (and other hair products), cleansers, etc. But I agree with Maulds, show me the good deals and savings on hormone free/lean meats, fruits, vegetables, etc. I can't feed my family off of mac and cheese, spam, and peanut butter and jelly the rest of our lives.

 

[Darrell]

I usually skip this to watch paint dry.

It's rare to find coupons for fresh food. Milk has been good lately, and so have eggs. I actually got some coupons a couple weeks ago for pork tenderloin. But it is really hard to find.

I buy three papers a week, when I remember, and I don't feel the least built guilty because I save more than that with each paper. I mostly stock up on non-perishables. Lots of cleaners, shampoos, conditioners, toothpastes, all basically free. I did "buy" a bunch of floss, but I got $0.20 overage for each one, so that helped with the fresh food stuff.

The trick is to not buy things you don't use, like the dog food. I pass really really good deals up all the time (with a little pouting) because it's something I won't use.

Ur right, it is hard to find coupons on fresh food. That's why it's so much cheaper to buy junk......

50 cents a litre this week! :eek
