    How is it greedy to save money? If I take my $ off coupons out of my coach purse does that mean I shouldn't be allowed to use them? We have a comfortable disposable income which my fella works hard for. I on the other hand had to give up my job for health reasons and they cant fix the problem. However I can use the computer laying, down, can clip coupons and I can shop when the pain is bearable in a scooter. Does that make me greedy? It doesn't make me feel greedy, it makes me feel like I'm a contributing member to my family and society.

    We get frustrated when the cashiers treat us like we are trying to scam the store, we get frustrated when people behind us roll their eyes or mutter things like, 'oh its one of those' .. Why are we judging each other.. its not making sense to me.. If people want to coupon let them, if they 'recycle' paper intended for the landfill to get coupons, whats the harm.. if someone wants to risk their lives in a bin, let them.. we don't have to do it.. just leave them to do their thing and we do ours..
    Be sure to click like and post a brag if you get the deal.. It makes my day!!! Flattery may just get you more deals

    Be sure to double check your flyer, points and cashback offers~ YMMV

    I was sort of hoping that they would just can that show. It's not true to reality and gives a bad name to all us people who use coupons to support our families. So many changes have occured since this show aired
    We all need a little sunshine every now and then

    I think it was their #1 rated show that's why they produced more episodes.It will be harder to find stores to participate with changes in coupon policy and extreme couponers with the way they are mocked publicly.

    They'll probably put some new spins on the themes and some new drama.
    I am looking forward to the show.

    Unfortunately alot of people will do pretty much anything for a few minutes of fame. Honestly I don't think they will have a lack of people signing up to be on the show. There are even people in Canada trying to get on the show and at least one is off of SC's. ( I recognized her stockpile from her you tube video from pic's posted on here)

    Its a fase. It will pass. The US is so hard up right now. They will have to put a stop to the kind of couponing they do down there!
    COUPONSTIPATION: The inability to make a purchase now, because there is a coupon at home!!!

    Kids are probably better at it than me. LOL.
    I played and didn't realize that there were two or more "pages" of coupons. I didn't see the "next" button.

    She's got a lot of nerve.
    Doesn't she realize that there are cameras all over the store, and especially at the cash register?
