Coupon Stacking story on CTV Edmonton Tuesday 6PM

[recessionisnotfun]

yep I agree, coupon wording is already changing thanks to these bloody shows grrrr, another good thing messed up.

As someone who participated in this interview, I can assure you that a) none of us are super stackers and said as much. We also made it clear that we don't have basements full of stuff, rather prefer to donate the freebies and extras we don't need. Serena Mah was awesome about the story - she wants to come out couponing with us! - and I believe (though I haven't seen it) that the story will be presented appropriately.

The comment that really bugs me on the Extreme Couponing show (american) - is how they sweat when they get to the cash register & panic. How ridiculous - it is not different than 'if u don't have the $' you don't take it! So if the coupons aren't going to work - you should know this before you start....NOT AT THE END!

Just guessing they are nervous because their checkout is on tv and they says it's their biggest checkout ever.

I think it was well done and unbiased.

Great job to the Smart Canucks who were on this segment!
Who knows if more publicity to coupon shopping will be good or bad in the long run. My DH thinks that if too many people start than companies will stop giving out as many coupons. I think it might make the stores and companies more competitive and better able to deal with coupons.
I have to go work on my next LD stack for this week!

CTV should have mentioned coupon stacking at London Drugs only and go customer service.

crap I missed it! Maybe it'll be on the later news too. Bummer!

[moefox]

sweet, got to watch it on their website. Well done ladies!

Recognized one of my favorite cashiers from the Oliver Square store, nicely done

I agree that the interview doesn't portray couponers in a negative light. You didn't clear the shelves, but you also didn't tell me where to get all those Sunlight coupons.

I did sneak a peek at the special and I think it was short and sweet, I am happy it didn't make them look nuts like the other show does. It was too short to be overly informative but it put couponing out there.

Haha they came in a smartsource I believe and instore coupons, if u ever need some I have lots I could share with ya! It takes time to build a collection like they have, I think it look me nearly 4 months, it requires diligence

Great job ladies! I would love to be able to have a few people to be able to sit & trade like that (on a weekly/ monthly basis)...Coffee would be a good thing too :o)

I am going to watch it soon. Thanks RedEng for the link
