    I watched from 10 to 10;50 pm and then fell asleep before the most important prt of the dhow! Aargh. Thanks for posting who won

    Honestly though, the show is so ridiculously fake. How would anyone have the exorbitant amounts of FPCs they had without buying them...thus making the stuff not free at all. Drives me crazy!

    Has anyone seen that they have another Extreme Couponing show on Sunday night at Midnight? I think it's called Extreme Couponing: Midnight Madness

    Yes. I saw the advert on the website
    " Watch Extreme Couponing: Midnight Madness Sunday, Jan. 29 @ 10/9c to see four couponers battle crowds to get the best savings on Black Friday. "

    Honestly I don't think it will be around too long. The format is already very different from last season. I think perhaps they are having trouble getting people to sign up after the J'aime fiasco.

    My opinion is the stores won't cooperate any more.

    Maybe companies are providing them for the advertising. Someone on the last show had $15 coupons for beef jerkey!

    Maybe they came from a SmartSource or Red Plum.Then she bought them from a clipping service.Can you imagine what those pizzas were like after they were outside the freezer for so long.Just yuck.

    I googled some coupon clipping services in the states after I watched it, none had FPC's on them... also. But when you take a close look at the FPC's they have its clear they arent from a magazing or insert, they are the thick mail out type ones.... getting 240 of them baffles me though!!

    I lived close the the U.S. border so I have done quite a bit of research on clipping services, what they provide, costs for coupons, etc. None of them offer FPCs that I've seen. And you're right....they were thicker 'cardstock' FPCs that you would get directly from a company. This show does NOT paint a realistic picture of couponing -- no matter where you live....

    The whole thing baffles me!!! How they get soooo many and how so many of them are FPC's or VERY HV. I don't know how that get that many of those coupons!!!
    And I am very curious about the woman who ordered single pack sponges when the coupon was for multi pack......was it an honest mistake? I admit, I have made a mistake on a coupon recently when I used it, but it was one coupon, and I actually didn't read it when I should have. Did she not bother reading it, because you would think when preordering all those sponges, you would at least make sure it's the right one. Makes me think she was being dishonest, but I hope not. You would just think that being that "extreme" of a couponer that you are competing in a show, you would get your coupons right.

    I can't wait to see the Black Friday special!!! I would love to go shopping in the US then!!!!
