Have you seen the show "extreme couponing"?

[devideddi]

no I haven't seen it,  sounds a little extreme.

I never consider couponing, but a man had 40 years worth of toilet paper wow. Must have been filled 9/10 of his house.

I clip coupons, but this show sounds scary.

I don't watch it, because my mom is a compulsive hoarder, and just the ads for it remind me of how she shops.  She never uses the excess stuff, and then gets mad when it goes bad and has to be thrown away.   

Oh wow, I'm so sorry

I remember coming across a website once for adult children of hoarders, it just broke my heart. It looks really hard

This show is truley extreme. My concern is that alot of the stuff that is purchased is unhealthy. How does these people buy all  of these items and they dont have spoliage. Especially when u dont have a big family. It is interesting to watch. I like coupons and I use them to. We are a family of 5. Me, hubby and 3 kids. We can really benefit from. One family had a 140 rolls of tissue. Now thats extreme for real.

It's pretty bad.     Even the experts don't know how people go from compulsive shopping or clutter into hoarding.

I've thrown out lots of food, toiletries, and clothes that she bough by the case in the 1990s.

How do you get $200  worth of Wal-Mart gift cards?

[TaintedLust]

my boyfriend and I watch this show often and those people need serious help. Sure, use coupons on the things you actually use but every single show I've seen the person got stuff they don't even use.

[mawhite63]

Clearing the shelves of stuff they don't even use is somewhat anti-social.

I was psyched when RiteAid was offering the Tylenol Precise for $5.00 on sale, and SmartSource had the $5.00 off coupon making it free. When I went to the store though, they were all gone. A super sweet sales rep saw me looking on the shelves, and she came over and said if I was looking for the Precise, they were hiding it behind the counter at the pharmacy for people who really wanted it. She said the day the sale started, this lady came in at midnight on the dot, and bought everything off the shelf, and then went to the manager and tried to place an order for 40 more

I mean, c'mon. I know free is free, but 60 bottles of pain relief gel? Really?

Some of the store staff in the area really are offended by a lot of the behavior they're seeing. Especially the clearing the shelves bit so that other people can't buy it.

[Shahrukhlover]

I have never even heard of that.

[britcrawford]

yes and it is crazy how much groceries they get for like $0.01!!! i would love to get into that!

[tashamjoy]

Yes I have it is amazing how much they save !!!! Inspiring but I do not think i have the time for that and seems very time consuming

[kyohe]

I have watched the show only once. It has caused me many headaches at work since I work in a grocery store. Many times the techniques they use on the show work only because the clerks in the stores do not know o follow the coupon policies.

[elysee24]

Never seen the show but heard about it. I really don't know how come they stock so much of the stuff like those items would never be on sale?! Too much is just too much.

[thezapper9060]

My girlfriends friend could be on that it's so crazy!
