TLC Extreme Couponing

[tinaros]

Ughrrr.. I don't like the idea!! lol
lots of people will start searching for coupons and there's going to be less for us :p
Joke Joke!!
But on the other hand.. bad representation of couponing in general is another reason for cashiers and stores to mistreat us!
Oh mercy!

I agree.

It's motivating to start looking for coupons and deals... but it really did look like an episode of Hoarders. The thing that had me confused especially with the guy is that he had a lot of things stockpiled that have expiry dates that don't go very far like cheese and some salad dressings. I mean, are you really going to eat a freezer full of cheese within a month or two?

And with the money he's saving, he should really invest in a larger shirt.

He donated a ton of it. It was all just saved up for a while in his stockpile for the shock value. A lot of it goes to his church pantry.

(that includes both the food and personal items)

Watching the show made me not want to coupon[or not as much] as these people appeared greedy the black women lady was the only one I liked as she shared her stuff and also only got things she needed or used,the lady who got 150 or so chocolate bars made me cringe and all the people who had 100 boxes of pasta in there stash were just nutty to me who in there lifetime will use that much pasta,after the show I got a curtain and covered my stash in the basement as I was kinda embarrassed,although I will watch the show LOL

Hopefully much of it was "staged" for the show because we all know that Kraft salad dressing has about a 1 year shelf life and I buy about 5 a year and throw out 2 1/2 lol and many deaoderants have expirey dates as well, not all though.

to the larger shirt!! We were watching it and I said to my husband something about the ridiculous amounts of salad dressing and how it couldn't be used up before it expired. My husband said something about buddy and his wife have never eaten a salad in their lives. Too funny and probably true!

I really enjoyed the show. I don't think I would ever dumpster dive, but I liked that lady Joanie. The other people...not so much...how about buying 50000 chocolate bars? Or throwing bags and bags of stuff on a spare bed? That was just craziness! That is what reminds me of hoarders...nicely stocked and just what you need like Joanie is beautiful though!

Ohhh can't wait! I missed the first special that aired after the New Year so i'm interested in this one.

[lshortt]

will watch this but keep in mind its in the USA and they have better opportunities than we do

Saw the ad last nite, and hubby says to me "I now know what your new favorite show will be" lol It does make my heart pound a bit just watching the ads.
I did wince a little watching the first show, some of the stashes are out of this world. It seemed that it had taken over the life of the one woman who was shown shopping with her hubby, bags and bags of products on the floor and bed! When she cried about missing family events because she just had to go shopping, just about broke my heart. Reminded me of the show Hoarders.
I will watch the new show, I like to see how other people coupon and get good deals. I only use coupons for what we will use and try not to get sucked into the idea that it's a good deal and that it is worth trying the product.
It's great to know that some of the people on the show donate alot to their churches and food banks. Similar to what many SC's do here!

So true... if only we could coupon that way *sigh*

Can't wait to see the new series though

[sweetmomma]

I hope to watch this series too. I like watching people's style about how they coupon. Even though these are American couponers maybe I can learn a thing or two from them.

Love it

Maybe they'll have an episode with a grumpy coupon hating cashier, just to make it seem more realistic.

[grannyg]

I really liked the black lady, she tries to educate others, and even brings her friend along to show her how it's d one.... Not to mention she walks 7 miles every morning... but what got me was the guy that bought all those toothbrushes,,, and deor, way to much... but he did really good with the cereal being donated to the church food bank... ws trying to find it on for tonite but it's NOT on, circled april 6th,,lol,,
