Extreme Couponing : Programs : TLC : Discovery Press Web

My downtime I spend catching up on shows on the tele.., I saw this on and thought what the heck. Into watching this new show I suddenly realized are these people really saving money when this couple with no children have a basement full of food for the next 3-5 years. Don't things have expiration dates on them really who can use 48 bottles of Ranch Dressing in the next 18 months other than my husbands family ha ha. I watched as this man spent over $5,000 and only ended up paying $200 and some change for his groceries. The kicker people here is he pre-ordered yes i said pre-ordered boxes of Cereal ahead of time threw the grocery store to be there for the sale. He spent $1100.00 on cereal and after coupons I believe it was a little over $100.00.. Are you kidding me this could be the end of hunger here people..donating to food shelves all his boxes of cereal went. Totally awesome why haven't I actually thought of this being productive before seriously. Somehow I think that after seeing these peoples basements is this not a version of hoarding and are these people addicted to coupon clipping is this an addiction? We have 5 kids but when I try to clip coupons here and there usually in Sunday's Paper I find if anything maybe $3-$5 worth of coupons that would work for our family. There is always the coupons that you have to buy 10 of something to save a $1 is that really a savings? Or there is the coupon for the super sugary cereal I wont allow my kids to have, do I spoil them once in a while and get it because I have a coupon people? I have to believe its all a marketing bizarre out there trying to push the new items and most of the unhealthy items on us American citizens. Do we fall and start coupon clipping? I have to give it a try. I don't know if I can stay that focused to get those coupons in order. I figured I would have to organize coupons by aisle at my local store and go off that route and if you don't at least have 500-1000 coupons you wont be getting ahead in the game. Well I bid you ado my friends I'm off to clipping the coupons..
