Extreme Couponing??

Anyone watch this last night? There was nothing on and I got ****** in. Maybe I'm stupid but I really don't get it. I clip coupons every weekend and usually save a few dollars but all these coupons have restrictions like 'do not double'

Ok I know I sound like a crazy coupon lady but I was really amazed at how some lady could spend $1,800 and only pay $56...someone enlighten me please. Also I think these ladies have serious problems, who needs 63 bottles of mustard??

Re: Extreme Couponing??

Watched in amazement myself would really like to see someone from around li / queens on the show to prove it can be done here cus Im not convinced. And these people shop like hoarders really I can see if they were donating or shopping for a collective (like the whole newlywed board ) but storing tp under your babys crib a lil overboard IMO

Re: Extreme Couponing??

i watched too!

what stores double coupons?

i think the biggest factor is finding the right store. suggestions?? i was amazed too!

Re: Extreme Couponing??

i didn't watch but i read an article that was said that in order for you to save THAT much, you need to have good timing (have a store that accepts triple coupons AND is having a sale on that product, for example)

IMO it's cool that these people can do it, but they spend 4-5 hours per day figuring out the details .... totally not worth it.

ps: the article i read also said that these people are hoarders ... there's no reason for a person who doesn't have kids to buy tons and tons of diapers!!!

Re: Extreme Couponing??

King Mullen in manhasset doubles coupons up to $1. Waldbaums like 3-4 tines a yr triples coupons. I was lookin fwd to this show for weeks cuz I'm going to start using coupons but I watched the show in disappointment. I had a pizza party funded by digiorno a few weeks ago. They sent me 6 free pizza coupons. Tell me why I was only allowed to get 4 and then had to drive to another supermarket to get the other 2??? It's incredible annoying And the 60 bottles of mustard lady .... Reallly???? They are just rude with coupons!

Re: Extreme Couponing??

A girl i know was on the show... she calls herself the coupon diva... she tries to explain it but i dont understand it either...

she goes dumpster diving for coupons
