Have you seen the show "extreme couponing"?

[sommap]

I hear they may make a series out of it.

The first show was ridiculous.  One woman had rooms devoted in her house for her stockpiling.  Our man had enough toilet paper to last for 40 years.  These people even go out and buy coupons so they can get more stuff. 

I am a coupon clipper and do have a stockpile, but don't even have shelves arranged for all of my loot.  My stockpile consists of about four grocery bags full of stuff.

never seen the show, I use to clip coupons but now i just have them added onto my safeway card so much easier that way...  I do use the ones that come with products and some of the ones that are mailed to me cause they are normally bigger savings

I don't need coupons now that I get $200 Walmart cards for free.

Coupons work great it you are already planning on buying the stuff that the coupon is for.  There are a lot of people that cut the coupons becasue it says $2.00 off, and when they buy the item, they will never use it and then throw it away.

Heard of it but never saw it. Last year I found a coupon for one free pack of skittles. Printed about 70 sheets, got over 200 packs of free skittles. Still got about 150 left in a box. Now that is EXTREME!!!

I saw the show and was completely amazed at the extremes some people go through to save money. I most definitely would not have the time to do what the extreme couponers do. I use coupons for things I need when I get them, but don't get the sunday newspaper for the sake of coupons, or dumpster dive for them either. That to me is going over the top. I commend the folks that go through extremes to stockpile and save money on their grocery bills.

Hello oldbuddy,
I was wondering if that program really worked from what you say it does good for you I will have to investigate further because I believe you need 2 people then you are able to reap all the benefits. Are you still on skype I will catch you there so I can join under you.

I watched the show and do follow the krazy coupon lady's site but some of those people are too extream.  Why would you need 200 free candy bars (when you are already over weight).  I like to get free items but I don't need 200 of anything.....well, maybe 200 in cash.

[Blugamer44]

I can understand newspaper coupon clipping, but dumpster diving just makes a person look inane, it makes them look insane too, but inane for sure.

I have not seen this show.  I am sure this would be an intense show to watch.  The only problems with Coupons is that you have a hard time buying healthy food.

I haven't seen this one yet.  I am a coupon user and I use alot of  them but I don't go to extremes to get them or use them.  I usually have a coupon for just about everything I buy I sometimes have about $20-$30 in coupons b/c when I got grocery shopping I shop by the month or longer.  I print alot of my coupons off couponmom site.  I guess I save more money due to checking out the ads for walgreens and walmart.  Some times walgreens have better buys than walmart on certain items each week.

I missed the special, but the new series premieres this on Wednesday

I am so excited! Some of these people are nuts, but I'm still hoping I'll learn something when watching it.

I've always found that buying store brands was cheaper than using coupons, but I'd like to keep an eye on the show to see if I can learn something new.

I haven't seen the show yet, but i've heard about it.

[ladycasshmere]

yes but Im mad I only saw the ending part of the show. Perhaps I will catch a rerun.I didnt get how they can use so many coupons for the same product when most coupons say Limit one per product

[gaylasue]

I've never seen the show.  I use coupons every chance I get and will stockpile non-perishable items but only for what I can comfortably store.
