Extreme Couponing – Katherine and Joel – 10/26

These are MY opinions, based on watching this show.  If you’re going to leave a sarcastic comment, make it funny.  Don’t attack anyone else, or you’ll get moderated.  Ask Judy the Rapper.

“The shopping trips depicted in this program are extreme.  Because coupon policies vary by store, region and manufacturer, please review the policies of your local retailer before shopping.”

Which means, don’t try this at home.

Riding on the shopping cart?  That’s awesome.

Marcal coupons now say limit 1 per CUSTOMER.  Bet we won’t see that.
Why take a break?  Why not shop smart every time you go to the store?  All of your coupons are going to be expired and you have to start again.
Princess of Paper Products?  Who is writing this?
18 months of couponing
Wonder how many $5 Bounty coupons she got?
Not showing the store name, yet.
Why would you buy 10 papers every week?  Sometimes you don’t need that many.  Much cheaper to buy only what you need.
Here we go, Market Basket.  Those are in SE Texas, but I’m sure it’s not the same chain.  They’re obviously NOT in Texas.  LOL
Again.  Marcal is LIMIT 1 PER CUSTOMER!  She ordered 240.  Really?
Yay, she’s using reusable bags?
Who is going to use that much gum before it goes bad?

I actually feel a little bad for her.  She’s obviously going about it the wrong way.  If you buy what you need, when it’s on sale, you don’t really have to take a break.  You may not have 700 rolls of paper towels, but you do have a sustainable habit that saves you money.

I’m tempted to make my kid watch this with me.  He hates going to the grocery store with me.  Nah.
Awww, he’s using We Use Coupons.
Amateur.  I have 3 of those tubs.  And I need another one.  LOL
Not sure where he got that All coupon from.  Maybe from the manufacturer?  Yeah, he’s holding some that look like mailed freebies.
Apparently that Quilted Northern coupon caused some headaches.  Because this kid needs this much toilet paper.
He’s shopping at a store called Gelson’s Market.  I couldn’t see what the name was and I was looking, but they didn’t show it at all till almost the end.  Wonder why the store didn’t want their name shown?  Isn’t the point free advertising for them?
Jacuzzi and apple cider.  Sure.
Wow, what’s this little dance?  I don’t want to know.  Never mind.

I felt a little bad snarking on him cause he’s still a minor.  However, he did have to audition to be on this show, so he’s fair game.

  1. I agree with you about not picking on him too much. He is trying to save and he is probably still learning. I do want to know where he go so many free coupons that were worth so much. I have never received more than 1 maybe 2 coupons that were free stuff. I think the show really works on getting more coupons for the people and works with the store ahead of time. I think some manufacturers are giving this show these free coupons so that their product is shown on the episode – cheap advertising for them. I have recently noticed much more showing of the products than before. Also have anyone else but me noticed that these people are spending hours upon hours shopping for these mega trips? Who can stand up for 8 hours to shop and check out?

    • “I have recently noticed much more showing of the products than before”
      Really? Do you mean on the stockpiles at home or in store?
      Every time I tune in it seems that all the products on their home shelves have been turned around so you only see the backs of them.

      • I began to notice on the very show Kristin is discussing. They showed the paper towel brands and toilet paper brands from what I remember off the top of my head. I agree that on their stock piles it is turned around but it seems to have changed when they are in the store buying the product. It may have always been this way and I just now noticed.
