My Mind Is Blown

[Impious 1,476]

Watching a show on TLC called Extreme Couponing.

First lady had over $630 worth of groceries, paid after coupons something like $2.46

Second lady had over $250 worth of groceries, paid under $6

Last guy......bought over $5200 worth of groceries and health/beauty supplies (deodorant, etc) and paid just over $240. Yes, that's a $5000 savings. That purchase included 1100 boxes of cereal......

How many coupons and bought where?

[Julian 641]

^ word... lol

A shit ton probably... lol

[Impious 1,476]

How many coupons and bought where?

Hundreds of coupons, literally. It takes several hours for these people to check out. Stores.....whichever is offering the best in-store discounts and multiplies the coupons.

Next episode:

Retail cost $1902.63, paid $103.72

[ssh 924]

Crazy stuff, you think they'd have a limit to how many coupons you can use...

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Here I thought my wife was a thrifty coupon shopper! Holy shit that is a ton of savings!

That's how you can afford all your stereo stuff

I hope I never get behind someone like that.

It'd probably be obvious though, 10 carts of stuff and 2 carts of coupons.

[CrazyKenKid 64]

only if car audio had coupon's! wouldn't that be something!

so I got a question lets say someone saves 5000$ on stuff but all this stuff has expiration dates on it... do they freeze it all? or do they resell it to friends? or do they just have really big families?

[djjdnap 78]

Hell yeah man crazy.

1800$ down to 5$

Looked like some y2k type stuff.

the one family had 7 kids.

But the last one was only a fat couple lo

find me some coupons

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

My wife watched that and I caught the tail end of it.

Crazy.

She said these people go digging through trash cans and stuff to find coupons. I like savings the money but I ain't digging through the trash unless I had no other options.

[Godsmack 361]

I gotta hit the coupons when we get home...........not diggin thru trash or nothin but hey savings is savings

Don't buy 5 grand in milk and you should be alright. Non-perishable items are win.

[manrossdamn 57]

Crazzzzyy!

[altoncustomtech 773]

None of the stores around here allow multiple coupons.

That's really where and why these people are able to get so much for so little IMO. That and a little bit of obsessiveness, or a lot. It looks to me like some of the people on the show just really get off on being able to do that much shopping for so little. Others though, are doing a fantastic job providing for their families on very little. I know if they allowed multiples on coupons around here my wife would be able to clean up good, and god knows I need it considering there's me, her, my 4 kids, my little brother and now his girlfriend all living in one house. :suicide-santa: :suicide-santa: :suicide-santa:

I think I saw that episode were at the end he built a tower of cereal boxes. That is some serious coupon dedication!!

[edouble101 314]

Who the hell needs 1100 boxes of cereal?

I don't have the patience to look for coupons that I'd actually use. Usually I'll only find something like 1 out of 100 that I need or would use.
