    Aw, really? That shouldn't be allowed then - others will expect to use the coupons the way she does and will be turned away. I hope the manager has fun with that one, he'll have a lot of irate customers & possibly lose some business over it.

    Something "false" like that shouldn't be publicized - especially on TV.

    Just watched the second episode of season 2 (yay TPB) and I have one comment to make that isn't about couponing: The lady with 7 teenagers who says "Hoarders stockpiles have dust, that's the difference between them and I" is wrong! Not all hoarders piles have dust!

    My father cleans his precious pile of 80's out-of-date electronic crap like it's golden... which it isn't, it's rusty old electronics... but it's NOT dusty! There. Off my soap box!



    Otherwise, I liked her segment. I thought her shopping ethic was quite nice, getting her kids involved I mean. That's always a good idea!

    I liked the second segment of the episode with the two friends "competing" against each other. I wish they'd do more like that and see who does better... like Supermarket Sweeps (or whatever that show was called ) but with a couponing twist!

    Nesquik, cap'n crunch and crunchie bars. Sounds like a well balanced diet to me. Better get the double wide doors on your dream house, lady!

    The kid went out to buy more to impress his mom with the size of his stockpile, not because he needs it.

    She said she was impressed but her expressions said she wasn't.

    She already a whole ton of chocolate bars in her stockpile already.It's ridiculous.108 Nesquik would go stale before she uses them.She wastes money driving for flyers.She had my favorite 100 Grand bar that Nestle longer sells in Canada for years.I wouldn't mind a couple of those bars.

    I bet that store lost some customers too.Stores should make their extreme customers stick to store rules same as any other customer.Then the savings would be more amazing.
