I watch it and I like that they can get alot for so little. But I do notice they like to buy too much junk food. But i would love to have a wall of diapers and toilet paper if i had the space.  :thumbsup:

Well a lot of them buy in bulk and then they do not have to buy those items again for 6mo.- 1 year...and for items that expire they donate some or give them to family and friends...I would think most of them don't just let the items spoil.

I was doing this stuff before the people doing the show was born, I am sure. My friend and I used to go to venture on triple coupon days, and we would come home with a ton of stuff, probably why they went out of business, haha.

I think these people are ridiculous. I mean, I understand "because it's free," but I also think that they could do more useful things with it, like donate it. No one needs 400 tubes of toothpaste. That's just stupid.

I have watched the show a few times. I used coupons off and on for years but not very well. I started to use coupons faithfully and really study the "art" of couponing a few months ago. I must say I love getting a deal and am amazed at how much I can save. I now have a very difficult time buying anything without coupons. My one concern about the show is I have noticed stores changes coupon policies as a result of it. I have had a couple checkout clerks be very rude to me about my coupons and say "you can blame the extreme couponers for this". I hope the show doesn't give couponers a bad name and ruin it for everyone.

Does toothpaste expire? If not, I'm sure we use that much. If so, that's something that can always be donated.

I have always thought that it was impossable to have a negetive amount using coupons, because it seems that they aren't set up that way.  Learn something new everyday.  I live in the wrong neck of the woods to have coupons work that good for me.  We have 3 grocery stores here and one will not take coupons printed off the net.  I am not sure about one of the others and then we have walmart supercenter and I don't like the groceries at this one.  Can't seem to find good coupons for what they offer.

I look at the show every week. I'm trying to learn how to coupon mysef.but my store only doubles coupons up to $1.00. I hope that  the store dont change their policies after seeing how much money people are saving . It will be sad if stores just stop taking coupons. :(

I think it's great to use coupons. If it helps to save money, I am all for it. I saw a lady in the grocery store who had more than $150 worth of grocerys and only ended up spending $27. I think I need to start using coupons!!

I only go to walmart, not other stores, I do not have car, my husband drive it to work. see....everything controled me and limit me.but I use coupon as well, I do not get so many coupon.

I don't think they will. The merchandisers have to credit the store for the amount of the coupon, so it's not the store losing money.
