watching this crazy shyt on TLC and these people are getting $1000 in groceries for under $50
looks like a hell of a lot of work but damn, what a frigging savings.

Great, now I can justify buying my stuff at cost as if I were just paying some money to keep my sanity...Rooms for storing this stuff? Yea right.

Unless you resell, hmmm

I'd seriously consider paying one of those nuts to go to the store for me.

The only crappy part honestly is they have to hoard so much shit. It would be awesome if a neighborhood or family took turns doing it and just divided the goods each month.

I'd rather pay full price than take the time to clip all those coupons, find all the coupons in each paper, and then stand in line and actually hand them to the cashier that would want to strangle me with the price scanner...

My 16 year old nephew and his little girlfriend are coupon fanatics lately..He's always going "never buy anything ask me first..you want toothpaste I got it..soap that too..deoderant yup..razors..bag full.."

It's funny but its smart and I'm happy with free stuff.

my wife does the whole coupon thing. She shares coupons with one of her friends and she doesn't go overboard with it. She went last week and spent around $160 and saved $150. She sent me to CVS the other night with 2 coupons and I got a box of theraflu that would have cost $8 for $1.

It does take time, but it saves money. Took her about 2 months before she really knew what she was doing.

Most of this is not possible.. at least not where I live.. It only works if your store does double coupons, has no limit on # of coupons you can use, and the store manager doesnt get sick of your ass holding up his lines and gives you the boot !!!

After the show aired my wife asked our local stores about it. None do double coupons, and most have a coupon limit of 30 per visit.

Also did you notice most of them are unemployed or work on that 15+ hours a week? Put that shit down and get a job !


Lastly: most of the good ones on the show, pay for coupons.. so its not REALLY as cheap as they say.. some pay up to $70-100 a month for the coupons alone...

Dumpster diving for coupons? Fooget that shit !

The only time I'll use them is if I find them in the store... Like the time I stocked up on 2 liters of Dr. Pepper for $0.45 each. :fact

My girl is a couponer...she's not quite as "bad/good" (depends on how ya look at it) as the people on that show...but there's been more than a few times when we've gone grocery shopping and saved $100+

She doesn't go overboard with the amount of time she spends on it either...I guess it could be considered a hobby, or addiction to some people

sucks to be the person behind them..but if you do this, say once every months or smthing then you can save a lot of money.I think the downside of this is you have to settle for what is on sale and not buy the ones you want.

Pretty amazing what they can get but really how much of it is useful. Why do I need 300 tubes of toothpaste, 400 sticks of deodorant and 200 boxes of klenex.

I just go to the store, put what i want in the cart and then hand them that cool little piece of plastic when I go to check out.

Seems to work ok for me.

I like this show. You could never do it in Canada though. "Limit one per customer"

I try to use coupons as much as I can but you still get a good price with flier sales.

I love saving; so I enjoy watching it and seeing the final percentage.

The way I see it, these woman are (usually) stay at home moms that spend their time saving their family money (as oppose to going out and making money). Pretty sweet gig IMO. :laugh

But I would probably weigh 400lbs eating all the processed crap they get with their coupons. :thumbdown Never see them in the produce section of the store. :yuk:
