Another couponing article http://www.globaltvedmonton.com/Extr...960/story.html
would not open for me
The video is interesting too - wonder if she's an SCer? Hilarious that she says couponing is like 'women's poker'...

using 188 coupons in a year makes you an extreme couponer-guilty as charged then
'women's poker'- go get 'em Judy Cleaver!
she did have a lot of coupon pads
Fantastic! :-)
Wow unless she works for Smartsouce I sure saw a lot of FULL tear Pads there in her stash. Not what I would choose to show on TV.
Still an inaccurate representation of Canadian Couponing because she went to LD and stacked. That type of couponing represents a tiny percentage of couponers.
Hey guys, so I was searching Yahoo for news and came across this video. It's about a BC woman who extreme coupons. Enjoy!
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/video/local...-25988809.html
I only watched half the video...i was a bit irritated at the very beginnng when you see her going through a box of coupons...seems like there were a few pads there!
No wonder some of us have problems finding coupons when there are people running off with the lot!!
wow i hope they dont make coupon use super restricted becuase of things like this, it is a possibilty
It seemed very obvious to me that she was new right at the start even despite the huge box of coupons that I too thought I spied pads in. I personally am not all that new so I would never pay a dollar for a bottle of listerine (LOL). At least she didn't do a massive shelf-clearing haul.
Also if this is very recent... I think I spy some incorrect coupon use, because those glade things she mentioned that she said she had a $2 off coupon for... the only $2 off coupon for glade I know of is for the PREMIUM aerosols that run $3-4, NOT $1. The coupon out for the one she had in her hands was 25 cents.
Hmmmm.....
Interesting. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't see entire tear pads (many) in her coupon boxes. There is never a need to take that many coupons, even if you are donating to charity.
Other than that it was a good story.
ohh I didn't like that video at all. makes you wonder where all those tear pads are going. and also noticed what she said about the glade, she held up regular glade and said she got $2 off it (its for the premium)
grr i want some coupons from her tear pads
I may not agree with the fact that she has laods of coupons and most of which are entire tear pads, and the fact that the coupon she has was not for the glade she showed, BUT I do like that she did not go and clear the shelf ( or was that simply because she was on camera?).
yep think she got mine too LOL...wow
She lives in the Vancouver area...she clears shelves constantly (remember Ziploc-gate??) and is rude and defensive if you call her out on hoarding coupons and shelf clearing (she has a Facebook page). Nobody should have that many (entire!!) pads of coupons.
As for her "going into business"... I would not pay a dime to have her "teach" me how to use a coupon when she clearly has zero coupon etiquette.
Just my two cents.
I always wonder if it isn't the stores clearing of the shelves. Find it very convienient that walmart here seems to be always out of everything that is on sale with coupons or pricematched with coupons...remember the Chocolate Cheerios fiasco...
Wow I wish shows/news would stop promoting bad couponing-taking entire pads, misusing coupons, not fair to the rest that use them fairly:rant:
I liked the video and Global did a great job at covering it. The tear pad booklets were not my favourite part. It was great to see her partner helping her save money. Thanks for sharing
She can teach as many people as she wants how to coupon. But if they can't find the coupons because she's taking the whole tear pads (including the cardboard backing) then what's the point??
Awesome.
Wonder if she is an SC?
She seemed pretty shameless.
Couponing on that scale should be kept quiet.
If she trains too many people to follow her lead, she may find there aren't any tearpads left for her to steal because her disciples are getting them first.
She may be right in comparing couponing to gambling. Clearly both are addictive for some people.
And LOL at donating Glade.
I hate the fact that she had so many tear pads and didn't care about them being shown....I am trying to coupon as well, but its hard when there are people like that around..so selfish.
And yes I agree the stores have a part in it, Im starting to think my walmart has someone hired to scan this group to see what deals are on the go!! Never nothing left there to go with coupons and sales....months since I have seen any dissolve sheets....and today I finally found the buy one get one free glade fabric and air.....Now that half my coupons were expired! Oh my....highs and lows I suppose
Another funny point for me, aside from the entire tear pads in her coupon boxes...was the LD cashier they chose to deal with. I've had so many issues with her in the past, and she's told me and other people I know, that they don't accept coupons that state "cannot be combined with any other offer" (not "coupon" offer) and is generally negative and unfriendly. She's the ONLY LD csm I've ever had issues with...love all the rest...and they chose her!
