just a heads up there is alot of accusations that J aime on the extreme coupon show used coupon fraud. I no way would want anything about a show and extreme couponing.

I never said anyone would be "looked at as someone from Extreme couponing" they just are looking to do a story on local calgarians who use coupons to help them save money, and to try to teach more people about coupons.

everyone can have their oppinion on this....but they're not looking to make anyone look bad, just raise awareness about couponing locally.

I'm trying to help a friend and local Global news out....and only looking for those intersted, not in people automatically thinking that they're going to be looked at as a hoarder or accused of coupon fraud.

we're just trying to raise awareness of all the great coupons do, especially in these hard times.

Count me in



Sorry, I'm really not interested in being looked at as one of the couponers from "extreme couponing". In some ways I feel it gave a bad outlook on couponers. They came acrossed as obsessive and almost hoarders just so they could get stuff for free or close to it. JMHO

There is a real problem nobody is talking about... very often the shelves are empty when we are couponing.... this means if we get lets say 50 people more that get very into couponing that finding the bargains will disappear. but on the flip side... just maybe companies will discover it is a affordable advertisement method.... i don't know... but i am concerned about it... probably more then others because couponing became difficult in the early 90's and my whole family basically stopped doing it. It was after a politician decided to try and stop couponing in Canada... coupons dried up for a while... refunding used to be huge back then too. We used to send off several a week. Perhaps i am just concerned because i love it and don't ever want to have to stop doing it again.

I think we're just going to have to do a weeknight/evening, and a week day swap...Then everyone should be able to make one or the other.

I feel the same way. I love that show and it's fun but it's also not the image I want to reinforce either. I'm not shy of media either.
That's not the issue. I'm sure they could find people to fit those roles and find their Canadian/Calgary version of extreme couponing but I don't think most of the SC's are like that. The culture is slightly different within the group than what they might be hoping to show if they want to match extreme couponers like the tv show.
