TLC Extreme Couponing

[Shwa Girl]

Some posters on slickdeals.net think Faatima is selling her stockpile.A poster said Detroit Sunday newspapers are $2 each she says she buys 200 newspapers thats $400 a week.Her profile says she's a small business owner maybe the small business is selling her stockpile.

You may be right about her selling her stockpile.
About the newspapers, they can get better subscription deals on newspapers than we can here. I think she is spending less than $400 a week.

I watched her segment again. At the end of the show, while they are loading the trailer, one of the store employees helping, had a gun on his waistband. If that is the area she is moving away from, where store security needs to be armed, I can understand why she has the dream of moving to Hawaii.

Liked both ladies on this episode.

October 5 Michelle and Kelly episode will cause interesting discussion Michelle greedy shelf clearer and Kelly the TLC episode description says she raises her daughter,takes care of her sick father and a blind and death brother on $25,000 a year.

What a surprise in the clip where where the Michelle the shelf clearer prevents that man from buying a Power Bar was staged.It says he was a crew member. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/201...goes-wild.html Retailer regrets being on show.Didn't anyone in the corporate head office for this store watch season 1.Like they should have been.

Even though that segmant was staged, Michelle still could have acted graciously and given him a bar. It just re-inforced that fact she was selfish.

The article says there might be a spin off a coupon competition show.Imagine the nightmare Michelle the shelf clearer vs Amanda the husband basher.

This is just my guess they told her to say no to him getting him even one Powerbar.

Wow. Is that possible on such a small salary? That one I would like to see.
I wish that TLC would concentrate more on this type of story line for the show.

It is quite possible! In Canada, at least. My mom doesn't make nearly that much (small salary? Minimum wage full time makes less than that! ) and has raised a family of 6+ with 2 sick kids (heart condition, physical disability) and a disabled (and financially abusive) husband. Plus other relatives and waifs we've taken in. It is VERY possible!

Can't wait for the episode to see how they do it and if there's any new things I can pick up from it--or laugh at the "extreme couponing"... either way can't wait!

Shavon should calm down about the price of cereal her sister should get the kind she likes.Her and her sister getting 180 boxes of cereal is nuts.Some stores won't take those old no expiry coupons.The products might even have a different manufacturer after over 20 years and the grocery store make not get the money back from the coupon.Erin trying to fill a emotional hole from her daughter's death by extreme couponing for sister's wedding.April was nice shopping for the church.Carla's friend was annoying trying to sabotage her grocery shop.

@twolamedogs
So it is possible to live on that salary.
I stand corrected.
I commend you and your family members who are able to do it.
I guess I could learn a thing or two from them.

[twolamedogs]

Possible, but almost impossible....
