Gosh guys, I can't believe I watched this junk again.The two people profiled appeared a bit more normal than the others, but the mis-use of coupons continued.The first lady bought a bunch of purex and used the very loved {now expired} $3 Purex 3in1 sheets or Purex with Zout. Correct me if I'm wrong, but she did not buy either of those, did she?Secondly, did you see how both of them were beyond excited to "clear the shelf". Oh my, they should know better. I have no problem if there are only a few on the shelf and you take what's left, but to take 100's at a time and leave nothing, embarrassing!My favorite part was when the first lady explained where her coupons all came from, all 5000 inserts came from GOD. Yes, GOD supplied them all. I want to know exactly how he supplied them. Did he actually deliver them? Did he "lead" her to them abandoned in a back alley? Please.This show is really getting to me. My friends at the drug stores are all asking me if I'm like the tv people... do I have … [Read more...]

Guys, Readers, Coupon Friends, {all of you}... I just settled in, I've got "Without a Trace" going on the TV. I'm finally ready to talk about Extreme Couponing. But where do I start? I was excited to watch it. I won't lie and say I wasn't. I love coupons. I love TV. TV + Coupons is a simple pleasure to me. I was expecting fake "reality" TV and that's pretty much what I got. What I did not want to see and saw anyways was bad coupon use. You know when you see someone post a really awesome shopping trip and you want to duplicate it because it was just shear genius? I didn't see any of that. What I saw was craziness. I think it was really strange that one lady called her kids her "litter", but that was the least of what bothered me. I totally get stockpiling. I'm a "prepper" at heart, but having more product than people to use it before it expires and not donating it is maddness. Like I've said before these shows just make us couponers look like crazies. Remember when I posted the new 4 … [Read more...]

Are you guys ready? Are your DVR's set? Did you pop all of your free popcorn? It's EXTREME COUPING TIME! Are you having free soup for dinner and lighting your house with free light bulbs while watching Extreme Couponing on TLC tonight? I'm in. I'll be watching this while reminding myself that just like all "reality" shows, there is very little reality in the way these shopping trips are filmed. I consider myself a BIG couponer, but I would never be able to go into one store and buy, let alone find 1000 boxes of cereal. There is no way a grocery store would welcome a customer that tied up one cashier for 4 hours. Just not a reality. But don't fret~ you can still get loads of free stuff and save tons off your grocery bill with coupons. I'll leave you all with this for today. I {heart} coupons! Do you? … [Read more...]
