TLC Extreme Couponing

[Kyeste]

And Kyeste, don't you get free water testing as often as you like?
In the Haliburton area, there are not many instances of illnesses from wells, are there?
I think you are o.k., water-wise

I'm not sure, I don't know anyone who has ever had their water tested. Don't know anyone who has gotten sick from it either.

Oh no wait--I know one person who had their well water tested after they found a dead squirrel in it (a dead squirrel that actually made their water taste better, surprisingly!). That was free, I believe.

Hmm.. something in the water?

Ron.

Doubtful. I inherited a disease from my father, not from the water. Plus when I'm in hospitals I drink their treated water and compared to drinking the spring water, there's no difference to my health.

I think that the water testing is free, for up to x times per year.
Thanks for answering.

I was a little behind in my viewing and saw the episode you are talking about - Extreme Couponing All Stars. It's Sista Save-alot, who was splitting with her friend.

She was disqualified because she did not purchase the required $500 worth of groceries, because she couldn't find one of the products on her list.

Hmmm, if I'm in a contest like that, I'm sure I would be scoping out the store and matching my purchases to the right aisle, and down to the exaxt location in the aisle, the day before.

It showed them the day before doing a scouting trip.Maybe a shelf clearer bought the items before she got there to film the show.

Ohhh, I missed the part about the scouting trip.

That guy barters for everything is annoying.He went to the hair and tanning salon for a hair cut he's taking away money from people who work there who are paid to do those chores.If they do another show I wouldn't do anything they do but I would watch it.I think it's a better than Extreme Couponing All Stars.

The only thing I liked about "barter guy", was how much he saved on his wedding. Usually, renting a hall or buying fresh flowers, is much cheaper, until they learn that it's for a wedding. There is a lot of gouging in the wedding industry, IMO.

So now, sitcoms are weaving extreme couponing into their plot. The rich heiress whose father is in jail for a Ponzi scheme, discovers coupons and fights in a grocery store, over a deal. Scene = 14.35 minutes into the video.

It's on in 15 min here, hoping it's not the same one...saw that the other day

[Poirot]

I just wonder how Perry forgot her soy milk purchase when she should have had her soy milk coupons with her.Then she was worried she would be under then she was actually like more than $200 over the $500 limit.I bet that soy milk drama was fake.Then Jessica gets to use her Catalinas right away in seven transactions something they won't let normal people do.

[Poirot]

Watched last night Callie crying over the coupons not scanning was dumb.She's not responsible for the cash register not working.

[BCSparkyGirl]

this whole thing is lame. I would be more impressed if they were put blindly into a store and see how well they could do, not have half of it preordered, and staked out. This "allstars" thing is just stupid. I watched it once, and quickly lost interest.

I liked the regular show better too.I figure after the All Star finals the show is toast no one will let the show buy so much stuff with coupons.

I only watched the one episode of all-stars (when I was on holidays). I wasn't too impressed by it. If I saw it correctly, the contestant supplies all the coupons and gives all the items to charity. They don't get anything for being on this show except for some momentary "fame" (and, I guess, the feel-good of donating to charity)? Doesn't seems like much of a "bargain" to me...

I do think the contestants supply their own coupons from what I can surmise.You can bet they bought some of the coupons.The winner gets a ridiculously big trophy with a shopping cart on top of it.You're right not much of a bargain.

[Poirot]

Extreme Couponing All Stars Chris won.Perry got disqualified.Lots of stupid trash talking.I wonder how much they spent to get all those coupons.

[Poirot]

What bugged me Perry bought the wrong sponges and it wasn't on sale and she had to pay for it.They should have voided that product from her bill.
