I'm not a crazy couponer, I don't have a binder and I don't stock-pile and never will. I like a good deal, and now that I know how to get one, I plan my shopping trips accordingly.
I'm getting irritated with shopping for good deals, and finding that people who watch this show are now "extreme" and taking this to a whole new level. Since I don't stock-pile, I only need one or maybe two of the item I'm going to buy- not 100 bottles of shampoo like the others that shop at my grocery store. It's getting too popular and when I reach at the shelf for my items, they aren't there. Annoying.
Another observation I've made. I will never coupon to buy things I don't need. Sure a good deal is incentive, but really? Look at the picture above. Does this woman really need a stock-pile of cookies?!
I think it's a little out of control. Don't you?
I've watched a few episodes of this show and it really is ridiculous! I can't believe the amount of CRAP these people keep in their house. I can understand if they have a few kids or, especially, teenagers....but if it is a family of three or so, then it is stupid to have a bunch of crap that you probably won't use before it expires. I have started couponing but not as crazy as these people. Last time I went shopping I saved over $17 with coupons which I bought a $14 thing of laundry detergent so that was basically free! To me, $17 is a great save!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so upset to go grab my favorite items and they are gone b/c of the extreme coupon people in Publix! I also am made to feel guilty when I don't have a coupon, "Oh, you don't have ANY coupons?" Who needs 40 cans of peanut butter?! And where are these people storing it?! It's hoarding. :P
