Extreme Couponing

I had to stop watching when one lady started crying.....really? Over coupons....smh.

Have these people ever heard of expiration dates?

What is the point of stocking up on all of that food if it is going to expire in a few weeks?

If they really want to save money, just buy enough food for your family for the week!

Do not spend all of your time hunting for coupons, it's a waste of time!

Another thing, it makes them selfish and thoughtless because now other customers will not be able to buy the product that you purchased because you bought everything!

Do they get some thrill from this?

If yes, do they like depriving other people of the stuff they need for their families?

Why spend all day hunting for coupons when you could be spend quality time with your family?

I do not think their kids enjoy doing any of this!

Kids should just be kids and going out and doing fun things not sitting around the table helping their narcissistic parents hunt for coupons!

That's all this show is. You really believe with some well saved newspaper clippings and mail offers you'll save upwards of 75% on your next grocery trip? Sounds too good to be true? Why aren't there more people doing this? Stores that don't double up on more than 3 coupons changed their policy for the show coming to town. The ladies here manipulate the codes themselves to find out what UPC code works with what product. This way you could use the same general mills coupon on cheerios even if it's meant for fiber one (the much more expensive cereal)It's completely unrealistic savings and all of the women involved are thieving scum. http://www.jillcataldo.com/node/16258

Extreme Couponing is a television series that had its preview December 2010, and then after receiving over 2 million viewers, a series order was put through and it started airing April 2011.

Extreme Couponing is a scripted television show that portrays the idea of getting the most bang for your buck through the use of coupons. In Season 1 a woman from Maryland acquires coupons and manages to attain $2000.00 of groceries for only $100.00 (yeah right!). Also, in season one a woman of Arizona is able to feed a family of six on $50 per week (A little bit more realistic). In Season 2, a mother is able to feed her family of seven and 200 parishioners for below $100 a month and the list goes on. There have been some questions as to the show's coupon credibility but this really provides more of a challenge for the everyday citizen to shop smart and is highly entertaining as well. I've tried some of the techniques displayed on the show, but in Canada you are usually limited to 1 coupon per item, and there aren't any "cash back" coupon deals like those displayed on the show. Some of my friends have been able to save 50% on their groceries - once per year, but that's it. It makes me feel this show is fake. - Asif Zamir

I love the show extreme couponing. I like to coupon. You actually can save that much money by having tons of coupons. You just have to find stores that will accept doubled coupons. Great show yall! Never underestimate the impossible. If you work hard at it you will get your results and these ladies do so. Its also a funny hobby but can consist of a lot of your time.
